#Illinois Gov #JBPritzker & #Chicago Mayor #BrandonJohnson, both #Democrats, hit back at #Trump in comments Friday….

“After using #LosAngeles & #WashingtonDC as his testing ground for #authoritarian #overreach, Trump is now openly flirting with the idea of taking over other #states & #cities. Trump’s goal is to incite fear in our communities & destabilize existing public safety efforts—all to create a justification to further abuse his power,” Pritzker said.

WELKER: “Are the Russians stringing Trump along?” VANCE: “No not at all.” REALITY: Of course they are. Russian State TV laughs about it out loud. ASK: “How long will you let them? And why let them walk all over you?” (Also, Russia has made no concessions)

I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer when I was 19. She was only 47.

My grandmother also died from it at 53.

When Mom was diagnosed, she sat me down and said she knew exactly what I was feeling because she felt the same way when her Mom was dying.

She said she hated knowing that her girls were going to grow up without a mom.

She wasn’t afraid of dying, but she was afraid of leaving us behind.

She was sad that she would miss major milestones like graduations, marriage, grandchildren etc.

She wanted more time.

Unfortunately pancreatic cancer is quick and lethal.

It’s almost always caught too late, and few people live more than a year after diagnosis.

My Mom made it nine months.

I’m forever grateful for the time we had together and the fact that she prepared me for her passing. But I wanted more

The mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine was a beacon of hope for my family.

It was hope for so many whose lives have been touched by this deadly disease. Who’ve lost loved ones.

Who live with the fear of being diagnosed themselves.

There’s no words for the rage I feel when I think about RFK Jr’s decision to cut funding for this life saving research.

His anti-vaxx grift has already killed and disabled many people. Measles is back. Covid is still here and still killing.

Now he’s basically siding with cancer.

We deserve better than this.

We deserve an HHS leader who actually believes in science.

We deserve leaders who promote life saving interventions, robust public health and cutting edge research.

Shame on him and everyone who supports him.

Thousands attend 'Hands Along High' protest against #Trump administration on High Street https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2025/08/09/trump-protest-high-street-downtown-columbus-ohio/85590841007/ #Columbus #Ohio

Under the law you basically can't exist without money. In cities you can't loiter or sleep in parks. In the bush you can't permanently camp on crown land. So if society won't allow you to exist without money and it believes you have the right to exist, society should give you a basic amount of money to exist.

When you get sick and ask the insurance company for some of that money you pay them every month in case you get sick

MARYLAND’S @govwesmoore.bsky.social : “No. I would not be open to it. It is not mission critical. That’s something I take very seriously as someone who wore the uniform, who had to say goodbye to my family.” As @GovBillLee plays politics with the TN National Guard to curry favor with Trump.

Last month, New Jersey federal judges decided to fire Alina Habba, refusing to vote to extend her 120-day appointment as U.S. attorney for New Jersey, but the Trump administration found a loophole.

Now, a federal judge has ruled that Habba has been serving illegally. https://trib.al/dN2bhPe

If the founding fathers witnessed the corruption and treason and fascism of the current President, they would not have impeached him. They would have hanged him..

Federal office says #WestVirginia should allow religious exemptions for school vaccine requirements. Sorry, but I cannot find chapter and verse where it says vaccines are forbidden. More evidence that #Trump and the GOP hate #Science. https://westvirginiawatch.com/2025/08/22/federal-office-says-west-virginia-should-allow-religious-exemptions-for-school-vaccine-requirements/
