Today, having recently turned 100, I read Donald Trump’s appalling words about American Jews, and I am nine years old again. The phrase, a horse’s ass, was an everyday expression when I was nine and it occurs to me again now. 3/3
Finally some hope in the fentanyl #opioidcrisis? Latest CDC data shows flattening and even a decline of fatal overdose deaths. Numbers *still* devastating. Roughly 108k deaths in a 12 month period - but that is down from 110k in March. @npr
I'm glad to be waking up in a country where a jury smacked the shit out of human herpes Alex Jones to the tune of one BILLION dollars for his torture of the still-grieving Sandy Hook parents.
Thank you, Karma.
BREAKING: Tomorrow, senior citizens and others who get Social Security will learn how much their monthly checks will increase -- possibly as much as $140/month.
For the 1st time in a decade, their Medicare premiums will decrease while SS checks increase.
ANOTHER BIDEN WIN!
@RepMTG No he didn’t just speak. Just like you aren’t just speaking. His words, just like your words, are damaging to others. He profited off of his contemptible words. Can you relate to that?
An American Tragedy that all started with Arthur, Mortimer & Raymond Sackler and has continued through their descendents for seven decades.

Terrific piece about overdose prevention sites in RI. Nothing else we’ve tried has worked to curb deaths. Urgency and innovation needed! via @NYTimes https://t.co/xCTRycvByQ
@papergirlmacy@nytimes I read this & feel that harm reduction is the next best move, but I’m so heartbroken that this is where we are as a result of the greed of the Sackler’s & others with dirty hands. They’re criminals & murderers who ignited this opioid crisis. Parker’s Mom
My dad used to say, “Joey, don’t compare me to the Almighty. Compare me to the alternative.”
And here’s the deal: Democrats want to codify Roe. Republicans want a national ban on abortion. The choice is clear.
Her dad was an alcoholic; her mom a struggling factory worker & those memories have animated @papergirlmacy's brilliant books, Dopesick and Factory Man. "I've always had an eye for the underdog and the marginalized," she tells me on #AxeFiles.

Nothing to see here. Just a former president of the United States seeking to incite violence against the minority leader of the United States Senate and launching a racist verbal attack on the leader's wife.
How can judge Cannon, who’s never written an opinion other than her wedding blog, or tried a case, write 20 page opinions on a dime? It’s not possible. Who is she answering to?
I never gave up on American manufacturing and neither did the American people.
I put “Make It in America” at the heart of my economic plan. And it's working.
We didn’t call the 9/11 hijackers mentally ill we called them terrorists. The shooter at my high school was a terrorist first and mentally ill second. Stop using mental illness as a scapegoat to avoid talking about white supremacist violence
