Really really tired of no nuance in this country. Really tired of people making every issue black and white. Really tired of people using words as if they have no meaning. Really tired of a lack of compassion and calm educating to folks that disagree with you. Really tired.
I’ve never understood the “if you vote for a Democrat you are complicit in murder” argument. The same folks making the argument don’t apply it to guns when someone shoots up a school. Gun manufacturers are let off the hook because of individual responsibility while voters aren’t.
Mitt Romney's position is that Donald Trump is a corrupt President guilty of high crimes worthy of removal AND he should make a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court moments before the voters weigh in on who should be President.
Totally logical and morally consistent
It’s not like I thought they’d be consistent, but it really is something to watch a political party say you shouldn’t confirm a Supreme Court Justice nine months before an election now say it’s fine six weeks before an election, as people are actually voting.
The 2nd, 3rd & 4th largest wildfires in California's history continue to rage. The sky on the West Coast turned red & orange. Please don't tell me the Green New Deal is radical. What's radical is having a president in office who rejects science and calls climate change a hoax.
I’ve gotten tons of messages “I’m losing fans” by expressing my dissatisfaction with our corrupt, incompetent President. While I appreciate people encouraging me to choose fame and money over decency, I’m afraid I’ll never be Donald Trump.
You do not have a right to unlimited wealth.
You have a duty and responsibility to give back ten fold to the system and nation that let you get so grotesquely fat with money.
Children starve. Schools crumble. Cities decay.
But sure, own 5 homes & 9 planes.

Ronald Reagan famously said the 9 worst words to hear were 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'. That anti-government stance has dominated us for 40 years. I'm ready for competency. I'm ready for a strong government. I'm ready for those 9 words to be filled w/ hope.
Apparently all lives matter...unless you fight for America.
Let's get this straight, Trump voters:
Trump PRAISES literal traitors in Confederate generals and claims its 'our heritage'.
He mocks US soldiers and vets.
But hes a better leader than Biden because #abortion? 😑
@don_scalise 1. That would make people pay more attention to House races, which is good.
2. It would make more states/places worth campaigning in and give them more attention.
3. It's just more representational and fair.
4. It opens the door for non Dems or GOP candidates to have impact.
@don_scalise Untalked about opinion: reform the electoral college. Its grossly unreprestational in the current winner-take-all set up. Mandate each state do what Maine and Nebraska do and give 2 votes to the statewide winner and 1 vote for the winner of each congressional district.
Today marks the last day of meteorological summer, so it's only fitting that some cooler weather is on the way!
Are you ready for fall 🍁, or still holding on to summer ☀️?

Brayden — When I was growing up, my mom always told me that bravery resides in every heart and that someday it will be summoned. Well, you summoned yours last night and showed the whole world that your stutter doesn't define you. I couldn't be prouder.
