Apparently, I'm attracting bots like the plague. 15 new followers in the last week ...all allegedly female with no or 1 pic, no bio & no links.
BLOCK. Sorry, no bullshit spam allowed here.
The Senate just received another report that Pete Hegseth is too drunk and abusive to be our Defense Secretary.
This is not a one off. Report after report of alcohol, assault, harassment. This is a pattern of abuse.
We need answers, not a rushed vote.
Holy CRAP! This Bishop Speaking Before the President’s family is a Hero and REAL Christian:
“The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. May I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those whose children fear their parents will be taken away.”
She deserves a medal.
Cecile Richards dedicated her life to protecting and expanding women’s rights. She never wavered in her commitment to ensuring that women had access to the reproductive health care they needed, and her leadership at Planned Parenthood led to the inclusion of important healthcare provisions in the Affordable Care Act.
Women of all ages knew they could count on Cecile, and Michelle and I will always be grateful for her advocacy. We send all our love to Kirk, Lily, Hannah, Daniel, and all those who loved and admired her.
🚨NEW: Former Capitol Officer Michael Fanone slams Trump’s pardons of January 6th attackers: “I have been betrayed by my country and I have been betrayed by those who supported Donald Trump.”

BREAKING: MAGA world melts down as Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde calls Donald Trump out directly to his face during a sermon at the National Cathedral — urging him to find compassion and mercy.
This is the last thing Trump expected today...
"I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives," the reverend said as Trump sat in the pews.
She said that millions of Americans "put their trust in you."
"The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals — they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals," she added.
Destroying Republicans lies about migrants, she said that those workers "pay taxes" and are "faithful members" of American churches, mosques, synagogues, and mosques.
Appealing to empathy that Trump lacks, she said that the children of those migrants "fear their parents are going to be taken away."
"Find compassion," she added, urging him to help vulnerable people fleeing from war zones and persecution — a tall ask for a man as demonstrably anti-refugee as Trump.

Buried in the flurry of Executive Orders last night is one that halts all funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Yes, the law that Republicans and Democrats came together to pass that fixes our roads, modernizes old bridges, and makes drinking water safer.
IS THIS WOMAN A HERO?
Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Prayer Service. Now, she is being attack by Red Hatters- some of whom are online threatening violence against her.
Your thoughts?
Echoing the teachings of Jesus and calling out Trump's cruelty, ignorance, and bigotry to his face, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde delivers a sermon for the ages. Bishop Budde stared down authoritarian fascism and said 'Not today, motherfucker.' 😳👇
