What are y’all morning routines? With my #adhd, “chaos begets chaos”. If I don’t do a routine I’m less likely to have a well-structured day & follow thru on other things cause my perfectionist brain goes, “well you already didn’t do the first thing right!” & it feels harder.

Over 41 million Americans rely on Adderall. It's time for the FDA and DEA to get serious about fixing this shortage. I'm pressing federal officials to get to the bottom of this crisis once and for all. oregoncapitalinsider.com/new…

I’ve been reluctant to try ChatGPT. Today I got over that reluctance. Now I understand why I was reluctant. The value of 90% of my skills just dropped to $0. The leverage for the remaining 10% went up 1000x. I need to recalibrate.

All this madness in the house is happening becouse merrick garland has abdicated his oath of office - by refusing to hold elected official who were a part of the coup - accountable to the rule of law. If you ask for a pardon it’s an admission of guilt

88% of White Christians voted for Herschel Walker who threatened to blow his wife’s brains out, abandon his kids and paid for several abortions instead of… Reverend Raphael Warnock who served as pastor at Ebenezer Baptist… the same church Dr. Martin Luther King was pastor. 🤔

I suspect many of those determined to vote against Democrats in the midterms because of inflation don’t realize it’s a global phenomenon — and the Republicans have no real plan to address it. – at Scottsdale, AZ

A conman doesn't have to be smart. They just have to be smarter than the mark. Anyway, enjoy the rally.

If you believe that a 16 year old is not “mature enough” to have an abortion but that she is “mature enough” to be forced to become a mother, you are an idiot and an asshole.

Do you know how fucking guilty you have to be for a federal judge that you appointed to sign off on a search warrant issued by an FBI director that you also appointed and executed by a DOJ attorney that you also appointed?
