@clabaugh_mark@BowenFedUp@SenatorBanks Many parents are not responsible. The best way to prevent STDs, teen pregnancies, and abortions is through comprehensive sex education and easy access to birth control. When Colorado implemented these policies, the effect was dramatic. It isn't rocket science.
@clabaugh_mark@SenatorBanks When my daughter was 11ish, she brought her friend over. She was crying because she was bleeding & thought something was horribly wrong. My daughter told her that I would know what to do & would explain it to her. Her mom dropped the ball & left me to pick it up.
The Trump administration has been telling you they had screwworm under control for months. Now, it's here.
What happened? Trump and DOGE slashed funding for screwworm monitoring programs.
And the entire GOP let them. Thank them for today's new hell they unleashed on you.
When I called out Trump years ago for being a danger to democracy, a free press, and truth itself, I was accused of making myself the story and showboating. How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!
DEAN: You're under oath. When will you comply with the law and release all the Epstein files?
BLANCHE: We have complied with the law
DEAN: There are 3 million more documents. And you know what you said to me? 'They include another guy named Epstein.' Nobody is buying it
*the time of the gentlelady has expired*
DEAN: I beg your pardon? How do I get cut off 2 minutes into this? What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up.
Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends.
He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission.
Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?
BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period
IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement?
BLANCHE: The Constitution
IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery
I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
@BarackObama It makes me sad to see how far we've fallen. We used to have intelligence, integrity, decency, and eloquence. Now we're left with a lying, rude, classless, self-serving pedophile.
As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
These motherfuckers are ruining everything and lots of people are going to die as a result.
Trump Administration to Dismantle Ocean Monitoring System
The system has been critical to climate and ocean research.

🚨A 40-year-old Florida Trump supporter who posted racist cotton-picking memes and meme’s calling America’s first black First Lady a man on social media, Trent Plather, has been arrested for the second time on child s*xual abuse materials charges.
Police found 42,000 explicit images of children on his devices and he illegally possessed firearms as a convicted felon.
Prather also posted images of George Floyd’s face printed on pillows calling them “knee pads.” Floyd is a black man who died in Minneapolis after police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for almost 10 minutes.
More of his disgusting Facebook posts are in the thread👇
Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.
The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.
It had fewer than 50 employees.
And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.
Here is the part the administration tried to bury.
Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.
One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.
Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.
A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.
This is public money. Your money.
Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.
And there is more coming.
A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.
This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
Now we know why trump still hasn’t been able to open the Straight of Hormuz.
It’s because, in the cognitively impaired mind of trump, Iran cleverly has the only Schrödinger military in the world: it exists and it doesn’t exist all at the same time.
