Hey -- folks:
If any of you are on TikTok, there's someone pretending to be me using "joannebfreeman" -- and supposedly, even asking for money.
IT'S NOT ME.
I've just reported them.
Please do the same.

In honor of Generals serving who were forced to listen to an awful speech, here's an awesome speech from General Mark Milley. “We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution...
...and we're willing to die to protect it.”

WHATEVER YOU DO, REMEMBER NOT TO CALL THE PRESIDENT A FASCIST
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

NINE former CDC Directors spanning every administration from Carter to Trump, have issued a rare public rebuke of RFK Jr., warning of the harm his rhetoric and attacks on public health is doing. Their message: this is a time to rally to protect the health of every American.
[Withers into dust and is swept away]
I've done all of them.
ALL.
And I still use paper checks.
Do I get an extra point for that?

🟦 LEFT: Obama. Here to serve the people.

Not complicated. Staring us right in the face.

Just amazing. Have other presidents been said to have had “a government”, like we’re in a parliamentary system or a monarchy? It’s usually an “administration”.

WASH POST’s @crampell: “There will be a reliable source of individuals, companies, foreign governments that see buying these Trump coins as a very convenient way to pay off the President for favors… the Saudi Government no longer needs to pretend to stay at a Trump Hotel.”

My stomach is churning right now as I’m reviewing images for my floor speech tomorrow on the violent felons Trump pardoned.
Here’s David Dempsey beating officers with a flagpole. He got a full pardon and is being let out jail.
We can’t let this feel normal.
