The silence from the always opinionated women on #theview speaks louder than if they’d spoken out against the removal of Jimmy Kimmel. I appreciate their position; I’m not sure I respect it. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, today, to sort out their thoughts & hoping they’ll share going fwd.

Escape the news. ❤️ Project Runway returns tonight. My daughter is the Supervising Story Producer! Here’s how to watch: When it airs at 9, watch on Freeform. I think it’s free w basic cable. Or watch on Hulu or Disney+ later. (Not sure what time that means.) Enjoy!

Multiple choice: when is it time to call in the National Guard? When violent insurrectionists storm and defile the Capitol, brutally attack police officers and chant about hanging the VP or when people gather to protest deportations without giving people due process under the laws of the US? Hm.

I’ve been reading that we’re “coming into a test of our Constitution,” i.e., the treatment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, DOGE actions, the defiance of court orders, retribution against who he considers political enemies. Haven’t we already failed this test? What are its limits? Congress, stop him!

Dear Dems: No matter what you are asked in an interview, pls answer with something like, “we must address the dangerous and incompetent security breach of Trump’s cabinet members.” And then proceed to do so. Every single time. Every single question. Please. Because, messaging is important.

It’s Equal Pay Day which, simply put, marks how far into the new year women have to work to earn what their male counterparts made the previous year. This roughly 3 month time frame is a generalization. Other factors that need to be considered are location, race, age, education, marital status.

With the recent firings at MSNBC and today’s news that Trump will take control over the WH press pool by deciding which media outlets will have access, we’re one step closer to a fascistic dictatorship. And I am surprised at how easily and quickly it was allowed to happen.

One of the most insidious things trump ever did was to make people question the news media. I remember Kellyanne Conway’s interview w Anderson Cooper when she first used the term “fake news” to rebut a fact. The legitimate news media are often wrong, but most don’t blatantly lie. Trump lies. Cont’d

It’s apparent that a uterus is the most powerful organ in the body of organs. It strikes fear and, imo, jealousy, in the hearts of religious men for whom, again my opinion, their brains are the weakest organ. No woman in her right mind should go anywhere near their organs. #donttouchtheirorgan
