Glorification? There was zero glory in my addiction. It was truly the most excruciatingly humiliating and degrading experience you could possibly imagine. I wanted to commit suicide almost daliy, but didn’t have the courage for even that. Instead I’d reach for the pipe or the bottle. The cowards way out. The guilt. The shame. The hurt. The absolute misery of it. Yet here I am. And I am not alone. There are millions upon millions of us. We don’t all agree on politics or people or who we root for on Sunday. But we all have the shared experience of walking through that fire and surviving. I chose to live. That’s not a joke.
I don't know about you guys, but watching Hunter Biden slay trolls with sharp wit and self-deprecating humor this week has made this site bearable.
Thank you, @HunterBiden.
Congrats on your sobriety milestone.
Give 'em hell, brother.🙏💪
I did not campaign for this.
I did not donate money for this.
I did not vote for this, in elections or Congress.
This is heartbreaking and tragic.
And how many more innocent will die?
What about our own military?
This is not what we thought MAGA was supposed to be.
Shame!
I am opposed to this War.
This is not “America First.”
When Congress reconvenes, I will work with @RepRoKhanna to force a Congressional vote on war with Iran.
The Constitution requires a vote, and your Representative needs to be on record as opposing or supporting this war.
Tonight, Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC.
Let me get this straight:
Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds?
Release the Epstein files.
Breaking MS NOW:
FBI Director Kash Patel flew today on the FBI's Gulfstream jet bound for a trip to the winter Olympics in Italy to watch one of his favorite sports: men's ice hockey.
Patel's trip to Milan is likely to cost as much as $75,000. https://t.co/BNL0KIdM5F
ICYMI, the guy who bought Epstein’s Zorro ranch and has refused to let investigators on the property to look for the bodies of children, just recently appeared on Bannon’s show and is running for Texas Comptroller, who’s main function will be administering the new voucher scam, which will give him access to the private data of every child in the state.
I swear to God, Texas, don’t you DARE elect this man.
Dear Dem Senators:
If you are forced into a filibuster over the SAVE Act, I suggest you use that time to read the Epstein files out loud into the record.
An Abu Dhabi royal reportedly secretly purchased a 49% stake in the Trump family's crypto company for half a BILLION dollars, just days before Trump’s inauguration.
Hi @sethjoyner - I’m a big Birds fan who grew up watching you play and happy to explain. The SAVE Act requires a current passport (which most voters lack and costs $$) or a birth certificate (which some lack access to, and married women would have to get updated) to vote.
First of all, that’s NOT my voice on this tweet.
Second, I voted for Kamala Harris.
Third, I’ve said this before — I was invited to Mar-a-Lago by @realDonaldTrump many years ago along with Mike Tyson and Eddie Murphy. He gave us a tour of the place. I did not see any drugs. I did not see any underage women. I left early because I had another engagement.
I’m not going to lie on anyone for political purposes. That’s not how I move.
And for the record, at that time Trump was a Democrat. I’ve been to Republican events and Democrat events. I go where I’m invited.
Move on
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were operating right next to a SCHOOL BUS STOP, during morning pickup in Lindenwold, New Jersey.
Children were standing waiting for the bus when federal agents flooded an apartment complex.
Kids started running in fear, and as they ran, an SUV followed.
Let that sink in…
Elementary school kids, backpacks on, running from armed agents while a vehicle follows them through their own neighborhood.
We keep being told these operations are about “public safety.” There is nothing about sending dozens of children into a panic before school that makes anyone safer. There is nothing normal about federal agents patrolling bus stops and apartment complexes like this.
And we’re supposed to believe this is protecting children?
At the same time the country is re-examining how often predators operate in positions of power, how often abuse hides behind wealth, connections, and authority, we are normalizing masked agents and unmarked SUVs hovering around school pickup points. We are normalizing fear as part of a child’s morning routine.
You cannot claim to be fighting trafficking while creating chaos around school bus stops. You cannot claim to be pro-child while conducting aggressive operations in spaces where kids are supposed to feel safe.
First this President tried to doctor the maps to win more seats.
That failed.
Now, he’s on to plan B: Try to seize control of our elections outright.
We will stop that too.
