People's obsessions for the good old days just leaves me perplexed. As Carly Simon once sang - "these are the good old days."

The only cure for gullible is knowledge. Interesting article in today's Washington Post on how AI could be used to disrupt an election. Watch the video on this page - amazingly deceptive and not real.

Thoughts and prayers are clearly not working. Hey Congress, Hey Senate - what else you got? What’s your price? Can we outbid the fucking NRA?
Wow - the hits just keep on coming for TFG. His star witness just admitted to perjury in the Engoron case.

Another insurrection is occurring in Texas - by its Governor.

The normalization of Trump as a candidate for this nation's office is a rerun from past elections. I just cancelled my Washington Post subscription due to another puff piece written to discourage voters from taking part in this country's most important election ever. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Things Republicans Said This Year. - This column by Joyce Vance really only touches the surface and is in no way complete.

The right's War against Women needs to be stressed every day. We cannot accept parsed healthcare for over half our population. This poor woman lost her wanted child and now a grand jury is pondering whether she'll be fined and imprisoned. So disgusting.

No woman or man should have to beg the state of Texas for healthcare. How this attorney general still isn't in prison is baffling. It's all about the cruelty. Shame on them all.

This is a difficult piece to read and those that need to see this will refuse to look. The next representative that sports an AR 15 lapel pin needs to be thrown out of Washington. We all deserve better. Warning: this is a deeply disturbing article.

Eight days away from another government shutdown, which will have devastating effects on our economy, Republicans could only vote to lower the salaries of administration officials to $1.00 per year. Really going after the Press Secretary and the Secretary of Transportation is their response. Then they recessed for the weekend. House Republicans are incapable of governing. They want to crash the whole thing. Unreal.

I have multiple friends and relatives that act as election poll workers because they believe in free and fair elections. We need these folks. They can't be attacked for doing the lawful work that they do. I hope this woman gets a bundle from the town of Lynchburg, VA.
Sidney Powell ends up with a traffic ticket for subverting an election. She got off easy.
My Rep (Brian Fitzpatrick, R PA) is speaking out both sides of his butt. He released a statement calling out 8 extremist Republican caucus members that punished McCarthy for acting in a bipartisan manner but then votes yesterday to install one of those to be Speaker. I'm so tired of his phony bullshit.

Of course TFG tries to install this do-nothing legislator to head the House of Representatives. Always pushing the least qualified.
Flew in from that other place. Very Glad to be here, people are central to social media that works.
