Tuesday I thanked nurses, doctors & pharmacists at who serve with splendid kindness—and saved my life over 5 months. I finished 6 rounds of 5-day chemo sessions—which they organized so I didn’t have to miss votes or hearings—and I rang the bell! A new chapter begins.

How much hormones like testosterone and medications for mental illness was the transgender Nashville school shooter taking?
Everyone can stop blaming guns now.

I often see Flaco basking in sunshine--and even looking toward the sun. Then I realized, for the 13 years in his little enclosure, he probably never saw a sunrise or sunset. Well, he was enjoying the sunset this afternoon in Central Park!🌞🌞🌞#birdcpp #BirdTwitter

We've seen few humans this devoted and humble as Jimmy Carter.
Quietly continuing his mission,which was to do good.
If you must leave us go gently . Leave your heart and bravery so we might learn.
Thank you President Carter.
Jimmy.

Republicans flooded the zone with bogus polls to try and give the GOP momentum heading into Election Day. In reality, Democrats are outperforming Republicans by a bigger margin than in 2018 or 2020.
Ignore the polls and vote.

If Ron DeSantis were concerned about migrants who REALLY are bringing crime to Florida, apparently there is a family he might round up in Palm Beach. I can give him the address if he needs it.

You're aware these are people, not cargo? This is disgraceful and dishonorable.

This morning, two Texas buses of migrants arrived at the Naval Observatory in DC.
VP Harris claims our border is “secure” & denies the crisis.
We’re sending migrants to her backyard to call on the Biden Administration to do its job & secure the border. foxnews.com/politics/2-mig

I’ve just read this piece 3 times to make sure that I wasn’t misreading. The publication messaged Rebel Wilson saying they would out her in 2 days - and is now complaining that she chose to announce her relationship with a woman herself. Quite astonishing.
