Retired Columbus Ohio Family lawyer, advocate for poor & disabled, wife, mother, daughter and activist. Following me does not create atty/client relationship.
@RepMTG I am here from Ohio asking for support for Ukraine. My family has been here since the American Revolution. I am a member of DAR. Like over 70% of Americans, I support sanctions against Russia and freeing the abducted children. Neither of these measures cost American taxpayers.
BREAKING: Pope Francis, 88, has died this morning at 7:35 a.m., the Vatican announced.
Pope Francis in 2016:
“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian”
RIP.
Millions of people around the world are mourning the tragic news of Pope Francis’s passing. His life was devoted to God, to people, and to the Church.
He knew how to give hope, ease suffering through prayer, and foster unity. He prayed for peace in Ukraine and for Ukrainians. We grieve together with Catholics and all Christians who looked to Pope Francis for spiritual support. Eternal memory!
"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help... If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."
- Pope Francis
@joy_anoshie So sad. So shocking. Tay was such a great young man. I coached him in baseball when he was in middle school. We often gave him a ride home, and got to know him on the way. What a tragedy.
We did not find evidence of millions of people receiving Social Security benefits on behalf of people who would be 110 years old or older. The acting Social Security commissioner said that people older than 100 who do not have a date of death associated with their Social Security record “are not necessarily receiving benefits.”

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.
BREAKING😡: Trump & Putin are set to meet in Moscow on May 9th, Russia’s Victory Day.
Let me spell it out for you: An American “president” is flying to Russia to celebrate with Putin while Ukraine is still bleeding and Europe is on edge.
May 9, 1945, was when Nazis fell. But it was also when Stalin’s Soviet Union took half of Europe hostage—Poles, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, British, and all allies, and others fought BOTH Nazis and Communists.
They never stopped fighting for freedom—and now history is repeating itself.
This is a fucking disgrace.
America used to lead the free world. Now, Trump is about to bend the knee to Putin on the very anniversary that symbolizes Europe’s struggle against tyranny.
Ask yourself: WHY MAY 9TH? WHY MOSCOW? WHY NOW?
Because this is it. The final move. The message is clear—Trump is all in with Putin, and they are setting the stage for a new world order where Russia calls the shots, Ukraine is erased, and Europe is shattered.
We have until May 9th. That’s not much time.
This isn’t just some political theater—this is the moment history will look back on and say: “That’s when America officially surrendered.”
Are you going to let it happen? Or are you going to wake the fuck up?
BREAKING: In an unbelievable moment, Republican Senator Thom Tillis breaks away harshly from Trump's policy on Ukraine, calling Vladimir Putin "a cancer, and the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime."
Make sure everyone sees this.

I thank @POTUS Joseph Biden, the U.S. Congress, and the American people for a new $200 million assistance package. Air defense missiles, artillery ammo, mine clearing systems, and anti-tank weapons will add strength to our Defense Forces. Another step toward our joint victory!
