It was a fun romp to watch. I did want to see more draenei, but we can't have everything, right?

Shhh! You'll scare everyone away.

The US government is a terrorist organization and must be overthrown so democracy may return one day 🇺🇸

Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats. 

Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

And we'll never fly safely in the USA again.

I'm a pilot. I want nothing to do with AI mediated air traffic control.

No… Tucker,

you are not welcome, forgiven, excused, or given the benefit of the doubt.

You laughed on TV while children suffered and you did it for years, because the money was good.

You can rot.

2 dead, 5 hurt after planned fight leads to mass shooting at Winston-Salem park Two people have been confirmed dead after a mass shooting at Leinbach Park in Winston-Salem, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation announced.

Mass shooting in Winston Salem NC kills 2 kids and 8 injured Schools nearby all went on lockdown all day! Not even a blip on the radar really. 😔🤷🏻‍♀️ #NC #NCpol wlos.com/news/local/m...

We have created lifetime of benefits for a job that was not meant to be a career

Term limits!

Imagine a California where families and workers don't just survive, they flourish. That’s the roadmap. 

Better schools, housing that’s affordable, cleaner air, and a health care system that sees you as a human being first.

Let’s make it happen.

The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files.

Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.

If you go back and watch a movie like All the Presidents's Men, it will really hit you how massively our country has changed in my lifetime. It was unthinkable for any of today's headlines to ever even exist back then.
