Normally, I would watch tonight’s #debate. However, as someone who faced bullying in school and in the workplace, watching #Trump’s efforts to intimidate and gaslight #Harris will conjure up some difficult memories. Every “Trump 2024 - F*** Your Feelings” bumper sticker or desecrated American flag with his grinning face reminds me that I’m surrounded by Trump fans who embrace this guy and every hateful, misogynistic thing he says and does. Yes, haters: you’re right - it is triggering. #Politics
Brian Urlacher did an ad for Trump? Why do so many well known people squander their credibility for this traitor? #Politics
Just found out that the 5,000 postcards to voters that our county Dems (myself included) are sending out next month are part of a 36 million postcard effort nationwide to target swing state voters. All 36 million have been claimed! If even one percent result in Dem-leaning voters turning out, that’s 360,000 blue votes. #Politics
If there’s anyone on the planet who understands true evil, it’s Dick Cheney, so if he tells you that Mango Mussolini poses an existential threat to American Democracy, you can believe him. #Politics
No, Tulsi… I definitely don’t think you want to hear from me but enjoy the ride. A few months from now you’ll be rotting on the ash heap of history along with all the other fools who squandered their careers and credibility in service of Vladimir Putin’s Number One sycophant. #Politics
Go ahead, ya quivering little sycophant. Take the bait. Give in to Mango Mussolini and shut down the government weeks before the election over his bogus “election security” law. You’ll give Kamala Harris and Tim Walz a glide path to victory. Good news for you, though: you can finally escape this nightmare job when you’re replaced as Speaker when the Blue Tsunami washes the House clean. #Politics
An excellent article from The Guardian explaining yesterday’s announcement by Merrick Garland.
As always, when faced with consequences, these mini-Mango-Mussolini alpha-male “affluencers” claim total ignorance and bleat about their “victimhood.” Such a tired playbook. #Politics
The more #JDVance and other rightfully self-loathing #MAGA talking heads pontificate about people without biological children having no stake in America’s future, it’s clear that these folks wouldn’t do ANYTHING to help anyone OTHER that their own children. Altruism of any sort is a completely foreign concept to them. It explains EVERYTHING about their dystopian policy. They get tax cuts, they protect their own families, and everyone else falls through the shredded safety net. #Politics
Watching the #Paralympics and reliving the good vibes of the #Olympics and the #DNC Convention. Such a stark contrast to the angry, hateful messaging of the #MAGA Republicans who tell us [childless women] that our only value to society is giving birth and staying the hell out of the workforce. Sorry, haters. Achievement takes many forms. Electing “joyful warriors” #KamalaHarris and #TimWalz is one achievement to which millions of us can and should contribute! We are NOT GOING BACK! #Politics
My brain is unable to process what I just saw. A Prius with a “Trump 2024” sticker (weird enough) and a sticker next to it proclaiming “I stand with America’s police.” Talk about hedging your bets. #Politics
I volunteered at a charity car show today - an event that’s generally a blast for everyone involved. Suddenly we heard a screaming roar from a hot rod (far louder than even the throatiest cars) with the smell of much-too-rich fuel mixture, and as it turned the corner, we saw a huge TRUMP sign painted on the back. It perfectly embodied the “Trump 2024 F*** Your Feelings” MAGA vibe aimed at triggering bystanders.

Little Miss Attitude remains mystified as to why the architect of the #January6th #insurrection is not only still at large, but remains a contender on the presidential ballot. #Politics
Mango Mussolini’s assault on Arlington National Cemetery protocols is completely on-brand. He gave a vile and tasteless speech at West Point. He mocked medical protocols at Walter Reed Army Hospital. He called the White House a “dump.” He had Mike Pence go unmasked at the height of the pandemic to visit immune compromised patients at the Mayo Clinic. He led a bloody (and feces-laden) insurrection at our Capitol. Anything sacred to Americans is a target for his gleeful desecration. #Politics
As a Cassandra, I’m used to having my accurate, timely predictions ignored. I’m doubling down on this one. By the end of August, Mango Mussolini will have suffererd a politically disabling medical or psychological setback, fueled by his apoplectic rage at Joe Biden and Kamala Harris who outplayed him at every turn, culminating in an epic convention energizing Democrats, Independents, and many Republicans. The GOP will spontaneously combust as they struggle to find a new candidate. #Politics
Great job, Republicans… you doubled down on a depraved, demented, desperate, convicted felon, the treasonous head of a multigenerational crime family, a man unraveling in a narcissistic meltdown on the national stage. Then you shrugged as his clueless kids added pathological weirdo and former “never Trumper” JD Vance to the ticket to “own the libs.” It’s time for you idiots sit down, shut up, and watch the Democrats eat your lunch. #Politics
If the #Project2025 assaults on #SocialSecurity and #Medicare don’t worry you because you’re young and healthy, guess again. How would you possibly pay off your college loans, save for a home, start a business, pursue your hobbies, put your kids through college, or save for your retirement if your aging parents - and in-laws - suddenly depended on YOU for their housing, living costs, and medical care? That’s the GOP’s vision: the end of the American Dream for all but the very wealthy. #Politics
