Republican Missouri State Senator Mike Moon has clarified that while he thinks adults should not marry children, it is okay for children, as young as 11 or 12, to marry each other - if their parents approve.

I'm confident that decent, intelligent Republicans exist, but I'm mystified that they can stomach associating with people like Republican State Senator Moon.

**No child of 11 or 12 should be married to anyone.** Vote Democrat if you have any sense of morality.

@AlliFlowers Rhonda Santos must have a thing for feet. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Sorry Nancy Pelosi, you’re wrong

Whatever legacy Dianne Feinstein had is now severely tarnished

From the hug-heard-round-the-world with Lindsey Graham, to her refusal to promote the younger generation and pass the torch

Dianne Feinstein needed to resign …YEARS ago

What’s your take? I would like to hear it.

“Cars kill people too,” say the gun extremists?

Okay let’s play this game:

— Drivers must carry insurance
— Drivers must pass safety/skill tests
— Each car has a unique vehicle identification number (VIN) that allows it to be tracked

So let’s pass all the same rules for guns

If you're shocked TX Gov Abbot is planning to pardon Daniel Perry for murdering a man at a peaceful BLM march—just remember—TX is the state that sentenced a Black woman to 5 years for an uncounted ballot, but not a white male judge for deliberate voter fraud—in the same County. TX sentenced a Black kid to 10 years for punching & killing 1 person, but not an affluent white teen for getting drunk & killing 4—they had the same judge

Texas GOP has proudly chosen fascism over democracy. Believe them

Meanwhile, in flooded Ft. Lauderdale…

Q - Have you spoken to Governor Desantis?

Next time you slip and fall around people say, “Yup. Gravity still works.”

BREAKING: lawmakers moved to another location from the California State Capitol after a “credible threat”

While there are no details, it needs to be said:

Attacking our infrastructure, undermining our democracy, giving away state secrets, openly attacking our lawmakers and the rule of law?

The right-wing in america is comprised of domestic terrorists.
