Dolly Parton was not MAGA in any way; she was its beautiful counterpoint.
She was a vaccine-supporting, nature-preserving, book-loving, trans-defending gay icon, and nearly everything she stood for flies fully in the face of the cruel, sneering, exclusionary narcissism of your vile, bloviating, spray-tanned messiah and his hateful movement, which you so joyfully partner in.
Yes, you should aspire to emulate her and endeavor to replicate the generosity and unconditional love she so easily moved through this life with.
And you’re welcome to show her respect and gratitude; in fact, you should.
But please, don’t try to claim her as yours today, MAGA.
She simply wasn’t.

OKAY SOUTH CAROLINA HERE IS YOUR CHOICE
Option 1- a woman who actually graduated from med school and is a professor of pediatrics at USC
Option 2- a woman who's only qualification is that her brother once held the job
Doesn't seem like that hard of a choice
I’m happy to share this because I don’t care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.
Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelines…..will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
The roughly 342 million people who live in the U.S. don’t seem to agree on much these days. But on at least one subject, large swaths of the country see eye to eye: Dolly Parton was a national treasure. https://t.co/Bt1ee0bvuW
Scam of the Week. President Trump has turned the White House into an insider-trading operation where Trump buys stock, pumps it up on-line and in the media and then sells at a profit. Now he’s adding a scam-on-a-scam, selling insider info for $100K a month to rich investors by tipping them off to his coming pump-and-dump stock grift. @HouseJudiciary Dems are demanding answers on the president’s latest corrupt plans to sell insider tips on his market-moving Truth Social posts.
This guy looks more and more like he could do the Speaker job admirably. Constitutionalist and a true blue democrat. But first let’s win a democratic congress. Vote 💙🇺🇸
Dolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library.
Here's what the charity does ⬇️

REMEMBERING AN ICON:
Dolly Parton didn't just believe in science.
She helped fund the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine that saved millions of lives globally.

Former President Barack Obama:
“It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life.
Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.”
Handing Jamie Raskin the gavel if Democrats take the House would instantly elevate the leadership. Few lawmakers match his constitutional expertise, legislative stamina, and ability to frame complex political battles with clarity and force.🤔
Stop Trump’s idiotic trade war killing American businesses. Let peaceful commerce among the nations prevail. And hands off Canada, America’s #1 trading partner, whose people are now boycotting American products because of Trump’s imbecilic policies.
I respect Senator Jon Ossoff even more now that I know that after reading John Lewis’ memoir”Walking with the wind”when he was 16 he asked to met him & they became good friends & worked together.He is why Jon Ossoff ended up running for office so I think we’re in good hands now.
