I don’t mean to belabor this point, but Joe Biden was given the worst presidential transition in American history!!!
The only exception, obviously, was in the case of assassination.
I don’t think that important fact is mentioned enough.
Dolly is not just a Tennessee Treasure. She is a National Treasure. My grandson gets a book from her each and every month. She donated her money to bring the Covid 19 vaccine to fruition.
Dolly Parton took her money and built a theme park, doing more for the people of Tennessee than any elected official from 1980 till today. Name a single artist that has done more. Nobody, no one, from Beyoncé to Oprah, can compare.
How about no one tells her what to do.
NEW: Filing your taxes could be free starting this year.
The IRS is running a direct-file pilot program.The goal is to make companies like TurboTax obsolete through a system where your taxes are filled out for you.
But tax prep companies are spending millions to block them.

Thank you for your continued work on behalf of scientists and the people of the World as you battle these anti-science forces...I shudder to think what diseases might return if folks takes these guys seriously.
Absolutely. The deal isn't what Biden wanted. But sometimes you must settle. Glad she will be home with her family. I believe that work will continue on bringing Whelan home as well. Another Biden win.

Welcome to the jungle.
Wage theft is a crime that is underreported and never prosecuted. I'd bet they'd be willing to spend at least $100k to stay out of prison. The Department of Labor needs to make an example of these assholes.
The owners of Wheezy's Sports Bar & Grill in Arizona have to pay $129,227 for deliberately not paying 86 workers their overtime wages.
Maria Stefanakos, Yianoula Stefanakos, and Elene Stefanakos robbed innocent people.
The media doesn't care.
Nobody will go to jail for it.
A Dixon Ticonderoga plant in Wisconsin was given a proposed fine of $203,806 for safety violations, which led to a worker suffering an amputation. It's the 4th time in 3 years that inspectors found them exposing workers to severe injuries. The media doesn't give a shit.

That's privilege speaking there...daughter was teacher in NOLA from 2001-2018. Every year, I took my 1999 4Runner filled to the brim with school supplies. You could not see me if you didn't stand on the driver side or in front of the car...I would spend days helping her

bc I think staying up to date with Covid immunizations is the single most impactful thing a person can do to avoid hospitalization, long Covid and protect heart health due to virus induced heart disease
Never forget how 200,000 Americans needless perished because they shunned Covid immunizations during our awful delta wave in the South in 2021. At that time: Covid vaccines were >90% protective vs death/severe illness. Victims of an aggressive antivaccine disinformation campaign

I wear a N95 mask when I go shopping or anywhere that I am with folks who don't reside with me which is everywhere. I have a 2 yr old grandson who isn't protected...went to a wake on Saturday only my family and my first cousin were masked...more than 50 people there easily..

I've heard so many people giving their elderly relatives a "pass" for voting Republican, because they're elderly. You know who else is elderly? President Biden. Nancy Pelosi. Bernie Sanders. AGE is no excuse. TALK TO THEM!

!!! TNR works as I can attest from my work in Indy and now in my hometown...trying to get a large feral presence in my neighborhood under control now. We are lucky to have UCAN just an hour plus drive away from us. They have a great program as well.
Happy Caturday! 34 kitties were trapped and are on their way to a “spa day.” They’ll be returned to their homes just in time to hunker down for tomorrow’s snow. TNR is a huge part of what we do.
That is just bullshit. Pure. Plain and simple. She is more than qualified. I am sick and tired of hearing the knocks against women at the heart of the power structure.
Hearing even Democrats repeat the bullshit talking points about VP Kamala Harris - they don’t think she’s qualified or they say she can’t win in the future. But when you press them for proof or examples to back up their fears, it’s clear they’re just regurgitating others’ TPs.
Thank you

for helping to Americans safe. I deeply appreciate your dedication to providing health information to us despite those who are science deniers.
Please call out the Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita! He went on Fox to trumpet his harassment of Dr Bernard and the Medical Licensing Board went right along with it...time to shift the paradigm in both these states. Vote Blue.
Ohio Republicans tried to convince America this was made up.
Indiana Republicans continue to punish the doctor who explained what happened.
They don’t want people to see the real-life consequences of their extremism. Including on 10 year olds.

Teachers are paid 30% less than on average than other college graduates...that is obscene. They nourish and care for our children while we are at work. We owe them big time. We also need to fund our PUBLIC SCHOOLS so that teachers have every supply that they need. Let's go!
A six-figure fine is not enough for a multibillion-dollar corporation found in a major violation of a critical safety rule. We need Congress to raise the caps on maximum fines and strengthen our hand in enforcing the rules.
On this day exactly sixty six years ago, Rosa Parks changed history.
She did it by getting on the bus — and refusing to give up her seat.
This is her incredible story.

I've boycotted Kroger since they closed their downtown store in Madison, IN. They gave City 30 days notice. Downtown residents have made Dollar General their defacto grocery. Kroger gave reason for store closing as not profitable. I will never shop at Kroger ever again.
If you think that's amazing, look at the number of unpaid bills in his wake...there are millions upon millions of dollars...from his businesses to his presidential campaign...

It’s also a huge help that it’s not a place you can get to by car. Plenty of other blue states have tough gun control laws but firearms still make it across state lines from neighboring places with loose gun control.

My sister left her abusive, alcoholic husband in the middle of the night. She went to a shelter, went back to school, got a job, bought a house, and saved herself and her children from hell.

It's interesting here in Indiana where we have a plethora of white men running around in trucks with confederate flags on them. Indiana fought with the Union to defeat the confederacy but they persist. I like to yell at these guys, "The South lost!"
Too damn little. Too damn late. Greg. You and the Texas Department of Public Safety allowed these children to be massacred while law enforcement stood outside...you are an abysmal excuse for a human being.
Dear Greg Abbott:
19 children died attending their last day of class because you decided to make Texas the friendliest state for guns and the scariest state for children.
We still haven’t found out why Lauren Boebert lead a late-night Capitol tour three weeks before Jan. 6?
Before she even became a member of Congress, Boebert led a family tour that appeared to break all the Capitol's rules

! My grandson Kelly got both vaccines and the flu shot with only a mild reaction. Vaccines are lifesavers--back in the 1950s with the polio vaccine and Covid19 now.
Seeing tons of lies about the vaccine. My son almost died from Covid when he first got it at 3 years old he is immune compromised with Down syndrome. He has both his vaccines with no reactions got Covid again and it was mild. Don’t believe the lies.
reds of people in the gymnasium. I think about the relief my parents must have felt to have that vaccine available. Several years later when I entered parochial school I had a classmate who suffered the effects of polio. Thank you also for your work on the Covid 19 vaccine

Ohio Attorney General Yost truly thinks Ohioans have short memories, or are just plain dumb
A quick 🧵
When he was using his official position to try to scare Ohioans into voting against Issue 1 last year, Yost released a legal “analysis” to show the dramatic..

I hope he file obstruction charges against this little whiny ass former assistant coach who allowed children to be sexually assaulted by another employee of Ohio State University.
The GOP House judiciary committee is coming to NYC for a “field hearing” on crime. It’s an obvious attempt to enact vengeance against Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg for prosecuting Trump.
I'm a little upset with those who don't understand that Biden didn't start "crushing it" at the SOTU
He's been crushing since he got the job
LMFAO

She is everywhere because she's so damn popular. She writes. She performs. She inspires her fans to register to vote. She has a boyfriend she supports. What is not to like about her? She treats her employees well and she shares her wealth with less fortunate...jesus christ
For a group that claims to be tired of hearing about Taylor, they are the ones who keep talking about her constantly. The crap FOX hosts are saying about her is absolutely pathetic. Talk about being triggered. A girl at a football game supporting her boyfriend being shown on
Aaron Freeman was a City-County Councilor for a number of years in Indianapolis. He served for six years. He isn't happy that Indy is no longer under the control of the Republican party. He wants to show them who is boss.
I spoke to young women today who had no idea that before 1974, a woman had no autonomy over her own body. No ability to get a loan, open a bank account, get a credit card or talk privately with her doctor without a male signature or consent.
