I wish I couldnt, but I can speak from experience regarding the words of @stephenasmith today. It’s important for people to be continually educated about mental health and remove any stigma. That is a life truth

I’m starting to think turning the White House into a MAGA podcast studio was a bad idea. I liked it better when smart people worked there instead of a speed freak pedophile and an administration full of grifter freaks.

“’Impossible’ is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it.” #MuhammadAli #Impossible #Inspirational #Quote

You know it’s driving Trump crazy to know that Mitch McConnell is dead and he can’t post about it. When we do get the news, my guess is it will be via his screeds. ‘Sadly, a HUGE Trump supporter and fan has left us…he loved ME and would often tell me I was the greatest POTUS.

Literally every military person in this room has turned their back to the Commander In Chief....while he wanders around like a guy at the prom who no one wants to dance with.

“We should have made becoming a billionaire illegal. There needed to be limits on how much wealth a person or corporate entity could amass; not to hamper ambition but to mitigate the hoarding of wealth and its detrimental effect on this world in peril. We (mostly) don’t allow individuals to stockpile military grade weapons in their homes because of the threat and potential danger that poses to society as a whole. That may sound radical but so are UFC fights on the White House lawn attended by Mark Zuckerberg, who, along with Elon Musk, helped the biggest bad actor this republic has ever known accrue power and purchase over the democratic mechanisms of our country. They are not only not paying their fair share of taxes, they are consuming what belongs to all of us. The common thread running through all of these perpetually adolescent men is a lack of emotional maturity - and a voracious greed mixed with a complete lack of moral duty or civic responsibility. Their cluelessness is a clue to the threat they pose. Multi-billionaires cannot and should not be trusted with the power they wield. We should view the enormous accumulation of wealth under the same lens as we would any other weapon - for it is now being wielded with ever greater destructive consequence by men like Elon Musk and Donald Trump.” open.substack.com/pub/noelca…

Mexican President Sheinbaum fires back at Trump in a statement: "Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours."

OK, let me solve American "economic anxiety" very quickly. I'm gonna sort it out for you in less than ten tweets and then you won't have that excuse anymore. You ready? Here goes. The cause is capitalism and greed. That's it. Nothing else. Just that.

Remember how Trump sycophant Markwayne Mullin (R-OK GOP MAGA) celebrated the day of love on Jan 6th?

If you are turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don't walk away. Say this: I REQUEST A PROVISIONAL BALLOT AS REQUIRED BY LAW. Don't let them steal your vote.

Glenn Youngkin is very concerned about voter fraud. However, he didn't say a word about it when his 17-year-old son was caught trying to cast a ballot twice in the 2021 gubernatorial election.

Trump is a scab 🐀
Trump belittles auto workers, saying they just assemble parts “out of a box” and says children could do their jobs: “We could have our child do it”

Lotter: Donald Trump is not a hypothetical president. He was the president. You can look at his record. McGowan: He was the president and 40 of his cabinet members won’t support him. His VP will not support him. He was the president. He was terrible.

If your candidate has Vladimir Putin on secret speed dial, it's not a red flag. It's a fucking five alarm fire.
