ADVICE: If you or a loved one are in the hospital, write down everything. Nurse/doc so and so said I had to stop taking (med) for this reason. All up to and including discharge instructions. The first thing they teach you in nursing school is document everything. Same goes other way around.

Playing hide and seek with my girls.

And it forces you to stop, and wait. And to listen. To attend to the wind in the leaves, and the light-footed robin by your side.

Moments of calm, hidden around us, like acorns in the hedge.

Aaawww, they love their buddy!!!

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

The rich are screaming 😱 that people with second vacation homes over 5 million dollars will just flock to Florida if you put an extra tax on these poor people! WTF? 🤬 I lived in Florida these are New York SUMMER Vacation homes . You idiots obviously have never been to Florida in the summer

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse.

So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries.

It’s your turn.

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

The trees have started Friday;
they're dancing in the forest.

Ooh, beautiful💞💞💞

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.

DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.

My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.

DOJ is now 0-5.

My firm is 5-0.

Lesson: When we fight we win.

The EU will consider the issue of unlocking a €90 billion credit for Ukraine in the coming days.

𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗱 𝗝. 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝟬𝟵:𝟬𝟯 𝗣𝗠 𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝟬𝟰:𝟭𝟮.𝟮𝟲 Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Bishop Robert Barron statement The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media. I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.

Trump's post disparaging Pope Leo was to create discord among Catholics & advance Bishop Robert Barron's religious and MAGA political agenda. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Kurt Cobain quote The problem with groups who deal with rape is that they try to educate women on how to defend themselves. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape.

Kurt Cobain was a staunch advocate for women & was outspoken about how often women experience violence. He wrote “Polly” about a real kidnapping & SA case. But when fans missed the point, Nirvana followed w/ “Rape Me,” a much more direct, impossible-to-misinterpret anti-rape song.

He did.

MAGA infighting ignites over accusation Trump staged assassination Infighting has erupted amongst conservatives online after a major voice in the MAGA media sphere expressed belief in the conspiracy theory claiming that President Donald Trump staged his 2024 assassin...

🧵/1

Now a lot of MAGAts are figuring out what a lot of people knew all along.

When we hear about this staged ‘assassination’ attempt, tRump only recalls his magical ear.

Everyone seems to forget the real victims of this hoax.
