@Mollyploofkins I think there was lots of talk about overturning the red card. It’s not uncommon in regular leagues. Trump may be stealing credit and tarnishing the decision.

@Mollyploofkins More fireworks but less creativity. Line after line of identical fireworks rising to the same height. Just boring.

@NancyMace Property tax relief should be based on need, not just age. I’m a senior and my house is paid off so I can afford to pay property tax better than I could when I was younger.

@smallforest @kylegriffin1 No. The board helped sift through thousands of proposals to fund the ones best designed to advance the many forms of science. It’s insane to think that anyone willing to say Trump won in 2020 would know good science from junk. Project brain drain.

@MiscreaRichard @kylegriffin1 How about we tax wealth, not just income. Elon Musk alone could fund the NSF and still go to Mars.

@PhDStudent63 @DemocraticWins So what else is new? Trump supports Putin and trashes allies every day and twice on Sundays.

@covie_93 @LunaLuvgood2020 They should sue everyone on the government who publicly slandered their child. There are too many who think they can say anything to tarnish the victims of state sanctioned violence.

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this week's New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century.

This is our parody of "Piece of My Heart" by the amazing Erma Franklin. Our version addresses the current situation unfolding with #Trump and #Greenland, and has rude words - it's called "Piece of Denmark". In solidarity with all fellow Europeans facing tariffs and trauma. #25th

@timony001 Less than 0%. I trust them to destroy as much as they can in the time they have.

@LunaLuvgood2020 The dogs are wonderful. The miracle is to get them all dressed and quiet at the same time.

@MikeBierma25541 @RpsAgainstTrump John Roberts said that racism is no longer a problem so we don’t need the Voting Rights Act. Same mentality.

@justvon6519 @Angry_Staffer I am sure that at least a few people in that apartment building had guns. ICE didn’t screen for arms before breaking down the doors.

@Angry_Staffer I hope Halligan prosecutes the case herself and Netflix gets the rights to make a miniseries from the transcripts. It will be the best legal dramedy since My Cousin Vinny. Wish we had cameras in federal courts.

@LunaLuvgood2020 Lovely sarcasm. Trump’s war on data continues. We won’t know how disastrous his policies are until the next President.

I've been reporting in East Africa on the impact of President Trump's USAID cuts, and I find that not only are children dying in large numbers but the pace is accelerating as stockpiles run out and people grow weaker. I also obtained an internal Trump administration memo stating that the cost of shutting down USAID is $6.4 billion over two years. That sum could save more than 1 million children's lives; instead, it is being spent to to shut down programs that save lives. Help spread the word. https://t.co/VN9XZIU0b3

@RealJamesWoods That was the Democratic Party of the 18th century. The Republicans became the party of business. Democrats became the party of workers and social justice, the New Deal and the Great Society. If you paid attention to both history and current events, you’d know.

@ElinaMia34 @LindaTpa I like the short cut, but it is going to require frequent trims to maintain the look. My long hair ponytail requires two trims a year.

@LunaLuvgood2020 The celebrating leftists are from the same bag of falsehoods as the Muslims celebrating 9-11. If they were real, the right wing would be naming and doxxing them.
