THE TRUTH: Dr. Anthony Fauci led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 40 years. Throughout those decades, he had an impeccable record of integrity, which is why he was trusted by both Democratic and Republican administrations. He is largely credited (along with activists) with the development of life-saving AIDS treatments. It wasn't until he refused to say and do what Donald Trump wanted that he was suddenly accused of being corrupt, a liar, a fraud, etc. If you think he's one of the bad guys, you've fallen for the con. ~Via Adam Sank.
Rosie O’Donnell on Trump: “He is a man with no moral fiber. He’s a man who’s narcissistic, mentally ill. I really believe he has a severe mental illness untreated. He’s so physically addled by his illnesses now, his frontal temporal lobe dementia. Everyone’s pretending. People have willful blindness when it comes to him”
Since I worked on this speech, I'll just point out that this part was left out of the clip:
"We must allow undocumented immigrants to come out of the shadows and step on a path toward full participation in our society. In fact, I will not support any bill that does not provide this earned path to citizenship for the undocumented population--not just for humanitarian reasons; not just because these people, having broken the law, did so for the best of motives, to try and provide a better life for their children and their grandchildren; but also because this is the only practical way we can get a handle on the population that is within our borders right now."
If Republicans would now like to support the immigration proposals that Obama and other Dems advocated back in 2006, we could actually get something done.

Following a crash in Stage 15 of the Tour de France, Jonas sustained a fractured collarbone and multiple abrasions. Due to the severity of the collarbone fracture, surgical intervention has been recommended and will be performed in the coming days. Join us in wishing Jonas a smooth recovery.
Things conservatives told me when I was in my 20’s:
*Character counts
*Crony capitalism is bad
*Russia is our enemy
*Tariffs are taxes
*The Constitution is sacrosanct
*Government power should be limited, restrained, and checked by congress.
Guess they were just joking.
We watched Trump's dangerous and deranged speech so you don't have to. Here are the moments you need to know about:
— He openly laid groundwork to challenge the midterms. He claimed our elections were "compromised," clearly setting up the justification to tamper with results before a single vote is counted.
— He said he'll "correct vulnerabilities" in our elections. Translation: he told you exactly what he plans to interfere with.
— He contradicted himself on China in real time. He first claimed China was "working to influence" and "undermining confidence" in him, then said he was doing a "great job" with them back when he made the claim. He couldn't keep his own conspiracy straight.
— He claimed China rigged the 2020 election, this time by getting journalists to write bad stories about him, because China supposedly wanted Biden to win since Trump was "wise to them."
— He said they found "burn bags" from the Obama Administration full of supposedly incriminating material, without ever saying what was actually in them.
— He said he needs "urgent measures" to stop our elections from being "hacked," citing Maduro's rigged machines in Venezuela in 2020 as his "evidence."
— He attacked networks for not airing him live, accusing them of being "part of the conspiracy to rig elections" and suggesting they should lose their broadcast licenses.
— He announced he wants to seize voter data from states he's deemed "vulnerable" ahead of the midterms.
This was a sitting president telegraphing, step by step, how he plans to undermine the 2026 midterms with egregious lies and conspiracy theories.

Susan Collins voted to fund ICE to the tune of $70 Billion with NO reforms. Now the ICE killings have come to Maine. It’s hard for her to escape responsibility for this out of control federalized force.

THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.
What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."
🫀Now that’s it’s been revealed that Senator Lindsey Graham died of an aortic dissection, I wanted to provide some clarity as to what it is (and isn’t).
As you see👇, the aorta is like the water main, a huge artery that sends oxygenated blood to the entire body. It’s under extreme pressure - every time the heart beats, it expands a little and has to withstand the force of blood pumping. To do this, it has to be elastic - able to bounce back after being stretched.
In some individuals with atherosclerotic disease (hardening of arteries), the inner aorta wall becomes hardened. Imagine a very old rubber band that is brittle and crumbles when you stretch it rather than stretching and bouncing back. The aorta wall crumbles slightly, allowing blood under high pressure to make its way between the inner and outer walls of the aorta.
After just a few heartbeats (insufficient time to really do much about it in many cases), the blood peels the inner and outer walls of the aorta away from one another, causing it to burst. I’ve treated a patient with it - and he didn’t make it. It’s tough to survive.
How to avoid this? Tough to detect in advance that it’ll happen. So… Eat well (including fatty fish with Omega 3’a), lower your cholesterol, keep your blood pressure normal (exercise and weight loss help a lot).
May Senator Graham rest in peace.
