October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 🎀 This month, we honor survivors, remember those we’ve lost, stand beside those still fighting, and encourage every woman to know her body, understand her risk, and prioritize her health. Awareness matters. Early detection matters. Women matter. #Pinks 💖✨

What happened to the separation of church and state? Maybe these GOP leaders lost their copy of the constitution. Nope that is wrong. They never had a copy and they have never read it. I know that for sure.

A federal judge has ruled that Roger Rogoff, the judicially appointed U.S. attorney in Seattle, has been illegally fired by the Trump admin and must be provisionally reinstated by the Justice Department.

🎯 'A man raped her' instead of 'she was raped.' Have you ever read a headline that reads "A bank was robbed by a suspect?" Nope. It's "A suspect robbed a bank."

Republicans do not get to call it courage when they distance themselves from Trump only after the polls turn bad. Courage would have been refusing to enable him when it cost something. This is not a moral awakening. It is a campaign calculation. November is coming!
