I enter 2023 coming from the worst year of my life.
It can only get better.
I wish everyone health, happiness and prosperity in the coming year.
One day at a time, work ourselves up.

[💙🌊 Zero Dark Twenty-Nine 🌊🌊🖋️🧫 @herotimeszero]

For those keeping score:

JOE BIDEN IS:
Rebuilding America.
Not tweeting at 3 am.
Standing up to Russia.
Strengthening our unions.
Fighting for women's rights.
Fighting for the middle class.
Doing his job of creating jobs.

TRUMP SPENDS HIS TIME ON:
Fighting the maritime speed limit.
Making sure we don't get into WWII.
Searching for synonyms for "deranged."
Collecting indictments & classified docs.
Fighting windmills so they don't kill whales.
Reminiscing about the days he beat Obama.
Shaming Jeb Bush for invading the middle east.
Begging the GOP to shut it down to save his ass.
Selling you trading cards, mugs, T-shirts, and lies.

Yeah, it's a tough choice.

Vote responsibly.

WTF? What a f*cking "stable genius" nut job.
Why isn't he in prison yet?

[OldeDetroiter @thylacine313]

@Michell33650674 Be safe. I know how bad it is out there.

[OldeDetroiter @thylacine313]

@Michell33650674 That's terrifying. Please hit me back if you're ok. Did you Google vet him, internet search? Congratulations and enjoy!

@TomJChicago Threatening the life of a general who has worked his whole life to be an honorable soldier, who served with distinction , who is not a political person...is beyond shameful.
#JudgeChutkan, Trump is making a mockery of your court.
Remand him NOW
#Milley

[Tom Joseph @TomJChicago]

Trump just posted that Gen Milley should be executed. Milley is a witness in the Jan 6 case against Trump. Judge Chutkan should revoke his bail due to his constant threats. Stop giving him special treatment. It’s not “taking the bait” to revoke his bail. He should be treated like any defendant who is violent and out of control.

A Minnesota high school sophomore launched a petition to move his district's graduation out of a megachurch.

Church/state separation groups (and the district's lawyers) agreed it was a problem.

It worked! The district has moved all future ceremonies.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨🚨🚨 WOW : A father of a child who was killed in the Uvalde school shooting SLAMMED Texas legislators for their “useless thoughts and prayers.”

Brett Cross boldly testified in front of a Texas House committee in support of legislation that would raise the minimum age to buy semi-automatic weapons from 18 to 21.

Brett Cross: “I’m so sick of hearing those three words from our elected officials…

While your prayers may have comforted you, they did nothing to absolve our pain...

Your thoughts and prayers didn’t stop an 18 year old from purchasing two high powered semi automatic rifles and all of those rounds of ammunition.

Your thoughts and prayers didn’t stop us from having to bury our children and two teachers.Your thoughts and prayers haven’t done anything in the 329 days since Uziel was shot through his stomach exiting his spine.

Your thoughts and prayers are useless unless you have thought and prayed for legislation that you can help enact that could change this.”

And now today, President Biden announced the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to “end the scourge of gun violence,” to be overseen by Vice-President Harris.

Thank you so much to Brett Cross and these BRAVE parents for speaking out!

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

The United Auto Workers has filed a labor complaint against Tim Scott for saying, “You strike, you’re fired.”

The statement by Scott is violates federal labor law since he is an employer and you cannot discriminate against employees for striking.

President Zelenskyy today visited the Pentagon and laid a wreath at the 9/11 memorial.

To me it’s sad how so many Americans have turned this hero into a villain with their rhetoric. Zelenskyy is trying to survive and help his people survive. When you have your land invaded, there is not much a strong leader can do other than what he’s doing.

Can you blame him?

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

North Carolina Republicans passed bill today stripping Dem governor of majorities on state/local election boards & giving gerrymandered legislature huge new power to overturn elections & limit early voting in Dem areas. Scary stuff https://t.co/zMXm984A2r

-Government? SHUT IT DOWN
-Women's rights? SHUT IT DOWN

-Fair and honest elections? SHUT IT DOWN
-Choosing an ally over Putin? SHUT IT DOWN
-Jim Jordan actually doing work? SHUT IT DOWN
-Rich person accidentally pays taxes? SHUT IT DOWN
-Something makes Trump cry? SHUT IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Palmer Report @PalmerReport]

Trump is now demanding that House Republicans shut down the government in order to cut off Jack Smith’s funding. But a shutdown wouldn’t do that (and some House Republicans are admitting as much). Trump is basing his last best hope on something that isn’t even real. He’s a goner.

[Tamie @RealTamie]

Marjorie Taylor Greene: Can you be any more DISGRACEFUL to the institution and the seat you hold?

You’re calling President Biden an old fart for trying to SAVE KIDS' LIVES???

How despicable can you be?

I come from a district with avid gun owners. I have yet to meet ANYONE who doesn't agree that we need common sense gun safety to keep children safe.

You’re extreme and you’re dangerous. You’d rather score cheap political points on the behalf of billionaire gun manufacturers who profit off of death, rather than address the issues our country actually faces.

Girl, how about this:

Instead of worrying about President Biden’s abilities, let’s worry about yours.

Because you haven't been able to do ANYTHING useful.

Go work at the NRA or something, and let decent human beings run our government.

Liz Cheney slams Kevin McCarthy over his refusal to let President Zelensky address Congress:

⁩ "McCarthy ⁦⁦doesn’t deserve to have a portrait of Ronald Reagan on his office wall. Under his leadership, House GOP has abandoned everything Reagan stood for."

Every Democratic Senator who demanded Al Franken’s resignation must demand Senator Menendez resignation today so NJ Democratic governor can appoint his replacement.

Who will be first?

Senator Gillibrand started the stampede against Senator Franken.

What’s she waiting for?

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

EXCLUSIVE: Trump's $500 million lawsuit against Michael Cohen continues to backfire.

A federal judge just ordered that Donald Trump must sit down for an up to 9 HOUR deposition in a time and place of Cohen's choosing on October 3. https://t.co/Cu418Pe5K9

If Sen Bob Menendez & his wife can be indicted on bribery counts - Clarence Thomas & his wife can be indicted on bribery counts.

[Richard Angwin @RichardAngwin]

If Senator Menendez and his wife can be charged with bribery and corruption, Justice Thomas and his wife can be charged with bribery and corruption.
