We're all dealing with a lot. Here's what I'm going through. I hope it finds its way to someone who needs to know they're not alone. Thanks for reading, and bearing with me. ❤️

It will be REAL hard for Trump Republicans, who are now suggesting we risk 2.5% of the population - or 8+ million people - so we can prematurely reopen the economy, to make the pro-life case after this.

The longer audio is jaw-dropping. There is no part of it that the GOP should defend or that Republicans should be proud of. Trump is a disgrace.

The press is not the enemy of the people. The press is the enemy of the powerful, unaccountable and corrupt. The unjust, unethical, and dishonest. The bully, the blowhard. The cover up, run around and false pretense. Let’s be clear: that’s made the press the enemy of one person.

Trump LOST: the presidency, the House, the Senate, the trust of American voters, the belief in free and fair elections, the credibility of the Republican Party, the admiration of our allies, the fear of our enemies. What exactly are Republicans defending?

America is burning because America is in pain, angry, suffering, grieving, agonizing, traumatized. If you think any of this is making America great again, you’re part of the problem. America is broken, and needs love, healing, and most of all leadership.

Let me end the suspense: Biden won’t get everything right, and he will do things I and many people will disagree with. But if you believe we need to make America GOOD again, he’s coming from a place of decency and integrity that is paramount and consequential.

Let me end the suspense. Trump’s called multiple women fat, slobs, pigs, dogs. He bragged about grabbing us by the pussy. He attacked female journalists and wishes we’d be more like a subservient 1950s housewife. So, yeah. When Pelosi calls him obese I find it f*cking hilarious.
I'm wondering if @SECupp and others would find it knee slapping hilarious if President Donald Trump called someone morbidly obese or would the words fat shaming be trending? I want to make certain we are playing by the same rule book.

Instead of just going after her record, Republicans and MAGA are calling Kamala a whore, a criminal, a fraud, incompetent, a DEI hire.
It’s ALMOST as if she’d had multiple affairs, including with a porn star, was convicted on 34 criminal charges, defrauded the state of NY, was found guilty of rape, filed multiple bankruptcies on her sham businesses, had zero political experience and even less knowledge, and lost the WH, House and Senate. Funny how projection works.

The president is an utter disgrace. What a wasted opportunity to address a grieving, angry, traumatized, suffering -- and by the way, still sick -- nation, to ignore what's happened in Minneapolis and instead drone on about China. That's not leadership. It's cowardice.

All these “on the brink,” end of days reports about Trump almost taking the nation off the deep end belie one crucial point: none of that happened over night. It happened every day, little by little, over four years, as Republicans looked on either silently or approvingly.

Jesus himself could testify against Trump, and they’d be like, “Yeah...but he’s probably just a deep state Obama hack.” And Trump would say “He was crucified. I like people who weren’t crucified.”
This is astonishing. The sheer number of American vets the Trumpists will insult, slander, and mock for the sake of their corrupt, draft-dodging dear leader is just astonishing.

When Trump attacks the media, he wants you to hate people like me. I’m fine with that. But the “media” is also thousands of reporters on the frontlines of THIS crisis and others, in war zones, refugee crises, genocides, and now COVID. Please don’t take your politics out on them.
