Welcome to my new, fun project, "Straight to Gay!" I realized after #TheMorningShow's portrayal of a Gen X gay couple, little has been written about our generation. Read about it here - tomorrow will drop 1st story, "Coming Out on Wall Street." Enjoy! 🏳️🌈

Don’t know what exposes Manchin and his self-indulgence anymore than this:
“America's largest coal mining union put out a statement lauding the legislation's provisions and pushing Manchin to take a do-over.”

Just as Susan Collins will be remembered as enabling Kavanaugh and the gateway for overturning Roe v. Wade, Manchin will be remembered, not how he hopes, but rather as a coward who used his influence and inflated sense of self to hurt the American people in a time of crises.

Maxine Waters explains what we lost with that coward Manchin torpedoing BBB. I wish more elected officials had been able to explain it so clearly and plainly. This was such a loss for the American people!

Watch for a wag the dog move by Putin, as Russia’s vaccines don’t work against Omnicron.
Quote Tweet
Putin’s security council met tonight. His Minister of Defense claims US mercenaries are planning a chemical attack in Ukraine. The Kremlin often telegraphs their next move by accusing their opponent of planning such a move. Russia regularly uses WMD against people (& Intl law).

When these same elected Democrats start calling and emailing me for money for their next run, I’m going to remember what each was doing at this time when our democracy was so at risk.

I know it’s easy to give up, when our Senate, which we worked so hard to take back, packs up and leaves town without doing the work. But instead, rest up and gear up to fight for our democracy in 2022. We are the cavalry. No one is coming to save us. 🇺🇸

We are 2 weeks away from the anniversary of an attempted bloody coup and slaughter of our elected officials, and nothing has been done to hold accountable those who instigated and aided it.

The incendiary, dangerous, violent rhetoric against Dr. Fauci continues at AmericaFest. Fox News host Jesse Watters tells them how to go after him to harass him in public: “Now you go in with the kill shot - deadly. Because, with an ambush, he doesn’t see it coming.”

Agreed. We had such a different coming of gay-age. Love that you are covering this.

When you defend yourself by calling a woman's accusation of sexual impropriety "a piece of bad fiction" -- you are absolutely clueless about what you did.

Omnicron is spreading like wildfire in the Northeast, but so far high vaccination rates are keeping hospitalizations and deaths in check. The highly unvaccinated states where it will head to next will not be so lucky - if you live there, SHOUTING to you: get vaxxed and boosted!

NEW - Internal memo for Fox staff: "All workers in NYC who perform in-person work at an office location, including Fox employees, must show proof of receiving at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine" by Dec. 27.
Testing will no longer be alternative to getting vaccine in NYC.
