Today we honor the unions of yore, whose valiant adventures, hidden in the mists of prehistory, yet echo in the faint yearnings of the living.

Weeks before the election, Trump is doing things like giving money to Puerto Rico 3 years after the hurricane and promising to keep pre-existing condition protections. He's like a domestic abuser right before a divorce who makes empty promises to get you to stay with him.

Republicans have a case ready to go to the Supreme Court to kill Obamacare. It's Texas v United States. Barr and the DOJ have joined the plaintiffs. They were waiting for RBG to die so they can place a right wing judge to help kill it. 21 million Americans will lose health care.

If Amy Coney Barrett was a Muslim and everything else was the same regarding her beliefs and associations, Republicans would call her a religious extremist and never let her step near the Supreme Court. They'd also accuse her of trying to impose Sharia.

When I woke up today, it was with this thought. (You can tell what my nights are like...) It would be more accurate, more truthful, more evidence-based, more objective, and more informative to say he's running a "rage and chaos" campaign. Not "law and order." Rage and chaos.

Republicans: Try to break into my house and you’ll be met with the end of a revolver.
Also republicans: Well, if Breanna Taylor’s boyfriend hadn’t shot at people breaking down the door it wouldn’t have been an issue.
