Right on Dolly, as usual!!!:)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While Dolly Parton has previously made a famous quote regarding, if she hadn't been born a girl, she'd have been a drag queen, the quote in the tweet doesn't appear to be any known public statement from Dolly Parton.

This week @POTUS struck a serious deal to cut drug prices for people on Medicare and fight climate change, received a stellar July jobs report, shrank the unemployment rate to 3.5%, eliminated bin-Laden’s successor, & gas prices fell to a 50+ day low. Great week, Mr. President!

Exxon: $17.9 billion
Chevron: $11.6 billion
Shell: $11.5 billion
They're using the cover of inflation to line their pockets.
Yes, it's time for a windfall profits tax on Big Oil.

Genuinely very scary that 205 House Republicans just voted to enable states to arrest, fine or sue women for traveling to get an abortion *even where it is still legal*

President Biden on overturning Roe: "That wasn't about the Constitution or the law. It was about a deep long-seething antipathy toward Roe and the broader right to privacy."
"So what we're witnessing wasn't a constitutional judgment. It was an exercise in raw political power."
