#JoeBiden never made America’s political agenda about himself, which gave the U.S. an under appreciated break from the previous 4 years. I am thankful for a president who focused on the good of the country as a whole.

Michael J. Fox immigrated to the U.S. in 1979 & became a naturalized citizen in 2000. It makes me smile to see this President honor this citizen. #immigrantsmakeamericagreat

#JoeBiden embodies what a president should be. Did I agree with everything he did or didn't do? No, but agreement in everything is not the point. I'm thankful for a president who weighed choices & sought common ground.

One of Denzel Washington's early supporting roles is in Norman Jewison's _A_Soldier's_Story_. Even in a smaller role, he's such a vivid presence. Please watch it.

BREAKING: Congresswoman-elect Sarah McBride, the highest-ranking transgender elected official in American history, fights back against MAGA.

"I'm not here to fight about bathrooms. I'm here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families," she said.

My grandpa taught me to untangle fishing line by keeping it loose and easy. If you give in to the urge to yank it, you'll just have an insoluble knot.

Same applies to Xmas lights ... and also political disagreements.

The best way to take back the #WhiteHouse in 2028 is to win state & local #elections in 2025 & 2026. VA will hold elections for Gov., Lt. Gov., AG, & the entire House of Delegates in 2025. Winning school boards is just as important.

Wondering what you can do as we go into 2025? Run for local office or support a campaign! In 2025 at least 31 states have local elections, 2 have Supreme Court races, and 2 have statewide races! Want to send a message to Trump? Win them. Take back our democracy from the ground up! Let’s go!!!

In _Magic_Town_, a pollster finds a town with the perfect demographics to match the nation, but once the people become self-conscious the integrity is tainted by an over-awareness of polling. #truth

Hopefully, #conservative #judges start to realize that every time they protect him in the name of the office of #president that they're also transferring power from the judicial to the executive branch of government.

It's 2025, and the GOP is still working to disenfranchise voters in the 2024 election. What the GOP really stands for is ...

Gerrymander,
Obstruct, &
Purge.

The threshold for changing the U.S. Constitution is too high for this to be a real concern, which the article itself admits. #News media like #MSNBC should stop purveying anxiety inducing clickbait.

Troll talks nonsense about, say, the Panama Canal or Greenland or Canada--it's all talk--so maybe don't engage his rubbish or feed him w/emotional reactions. Our energy is better saved for actions.
