Stefon: “It’s the hottest place in DC right now. It has everything. Water like curdled pea soup. Bigger paint chips than a 1960s tenement. An angry orange man yelling, ‘Find the vandals!’ Fish and birds floating upside-down from hydrogen peroxide poisoning. And the smell of a mossy urinal.”

I wonder how many fired Feds will apply…

Since acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has confirmed that “Anybody in this country is eligible to apply if they believe they are a victim of weaponization,” I decided to apply for reparations. Here is a template if you want to draft your own demand: shero.substack.com/p/everyone-c...

I did theater for ~15 years, and so much of acting is having the time and resources to be able to go audition for roles in the first place. Not having a car meant I couldn't even try for certain gigs. Being overly poor meant having to take time off from theater (which didn't pay a living wage). Etc.

So a Republican with 34 felony convictions, an adjudicated rapist, and dodged 60 more pending felony convictions by getting elected president, is lecturing Democrats about being soft on crime. Got it.

It’s always enlightening to hear lectures about being tough on crime from someone convicted of 34 felonies by a jury of his peers, and the subject of two impeachments. His hypocrisy remains undefeated.

Today I joined House Democrats at ICE headquarters in DC to demand Kristi Noem's impeachment & voted NO on funding for DHS. Not a dollar more until DHS ends its violence & abuse of power. Trump's federal agents killed two Americans in broad daylight. We are not backing down.

Charlie Kirk’s X post from March 4, 2018 read: "The 2nd amendment is not for hunting, it is not for self protection. It is there to ensure that free people can defend themselves if god forbid government became tyrannical and turned against its citizens."

Alex Pretti was murdered while defending the principles our country was built on. He was murdered while upholding his oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
