Doesn't Joe Manchin realize that he is being a stooge for the Republicans in his retention of the filibuster? Does he think that if he acts morally, then the GOP are going to? If we lose now, autocracy follows, as more and more votes are cut off in GOP legislation nationwide.

What an accomplishment! Over 120,000 people airlifted out of Afghanistan in two weeks. And the last plane lifted off at one minute to midnight the last day. What a relief to see a federal administration with 21st century competency and skills. Next up: Jobs and global warming.

Texas legalizes vigilantes going after abortion-seeking 13-year old girls who got pregnant from rape or incest. Vigilantes to be rewarded with $10,000 bounty prize. Grotesque medieval fascism perpetrated by people who dare call themselves Christians? #RealHandmaidsTale

Ukraine is HUGE! It is bigger than Germany or France or Spain or Japan. It is bigger than California--in fact, is the size of California and Illinois combined. Putin is locking down some fine, central land in the core of Europe.

I don't know which to be madder about--that all attention is on Chris Rock and Will Smith, when the person wronged was Jada Pinkett Smith, or the fact that she has alopecia, an autoimmune disease that causes hair to fall out in gobs. This is NOT "growing old" as per Bill Maher.

Don't kid yourselves, young(er) people: SCOTUS decision brings back 1950's abuse of pregnant women: back-alley abortions, heavy pressure to adopt out, banning of pregnant girls from school, pariah status for single mother and "bastard" child. Do you want that for your child?
