20 minutes of uninterrupted time with the President and not a single policy question. What a missed opportunity to actually educate people.

There was no GOP party platform in 2020, and Trump wants to shrink the proposed 2024 one. He opposes providing detail on how radical his second term will be because he knows its unpopular. Make no mistake: Project 2025 was written by Trump appointees & loyalists. Its their shared agenda.

The Dobbs decision, now Project 2025. There's more than enough to beat Trump right there, and his campaign staff knows it.

one of the most cowardly arguments i keep seeing from columnists is that nothing breaks through with trump supporters, so it’s a waste of time reporting on what he believes. this should be seen as a critically damning failure on behalf of the fourth estate. this means you failed. it’s not a pass.

heads i win, tails you lose: trump and RFK jr’s supporters both already know they believe insane conspiracies, so there’s no need to discuss what believing insane conspiracies says about their mental fitness to lead, but biden voters can be persuaded that biden may be unfit, therefore, biden old

This kind of nonsense is why my father refused to use a walker despite having Parkinsons. He fell quite often & I had purchased quite a nice one that sat unused. Just so frustrating.

In that exact part of the aviary I heard a young father (probably in his late 20s/early 30s) say to his child, "What do you get when you give a baby owl a bath? A moist owlette." To which I busted up laughing as my boyfriend at the time just glared at me.

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

This RN in her early 50s has to use one occasionally, too, if I’m having a bad day with my myasthenia gravis. Luckily for me, I get to do the cerebral side of nursing these days, which I love, rather than direct patient care.

After seeing this unpatriotic horseshit excuse for an op-ed that the New York Times published today, I finally did it. I canceled my subscription. (It was a long time coming.)
