Once upon a time I met a woman on a plane. I'm not usually very talkative on flights, but this woman was really nice and for some reason we started chatting. 1/ After a while she asked, 'Where are you from?' I said 'Kansas City.' She took a long pause and then said, 'I've only been to Kansas City once. I went there for an abortion.' 2/

"The former owner said in a phone interview with WRAL News Monday that the congressman “never spent a night down there” and that Meadows’ wife only stayed for a night or two."

Seems crime-y.

If we are going to bailout airlines, hotels and cruise ship companies, can we bail out America's food banks? Millions of children rely on school lunches and take home bags of food. These children will need help if schools close. If you see this tweet, please consider donating cash to your local food bank. Food donations are great, but they are able to use the cash to buy at bulk and wholesale pricing and make the money go much further.

Remember how Donald Trump ran around for 2 years saying he was going to fix the American health care system and promised cheaper, better health care? He even said, "It will be so easy." And then he spent three years doing absolutely nothing at all on the subject? “We’re going to work with our doctors. We’ve got to do something. ... We’ll work something out ... Nobody knows health care better than Donald Trump.” — Interview with ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” January 30, 2016

This is the same kind of treasonous behavior Intel chiefs stumbled upon in '16. They alerted Pres Obama. Pres Obama alerted Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell shut it all down, threatening Obama by saying he would politicize any action to alert the American people. Harry Reid brought this up on the Senate floor saying an investigation was being hidden from the public, but Mitch McConnell kept it hidden away until after the election. This time they are caught in the act and the American people see it in real-time.

I have a Gary Larson story I want to share (again) because it involves, happiness, betrayal and a lifetime of simmering hatred, disappointment and distrust. Intrigued? THREAD

When I was roughly 12-13 years old, my mother took my sister and I to Whistler's Books, a small, independent, now defunct bookstore in Overland Park, Kansas. Gary Larson was there for a book signing. I think it was his first book because nobody else was there when we arrived.

Republicans: We want to go backwards, move away from the idea that everyone needs/deserves health care. We love for-profit health care and tax cuts, we're rich!

Democrats: We want people to be covered, everyone should have health care.

Media: Democrats propose radical ideas.... Now let's turn to interview every voter in deep Republican districts who'll never vote for a Democrat in their life under any circumstance, even at their own personal expense or health, to see if Democrats are moving the needle or nah.

Let's be crystal clear. No 19-year-old should be able to walk into a freaking gun store and buy an AK-47. That is an enormous red flag. Sorry, kid. You can't purchase beer because you are only 19-years-old, but step over here and let me sell you an AK-47.

A moment of silence for 9/11 first responder Luis Alvarez, who died of cancer this morning. Here he is last month asking Congress to take action and fulfill their obligation to provide care for the survivors of 9/11.

Mitch McConnell has yet to bring the bill. Alvarez had 69 rounds of chemotherapy before he finally entered hospice. It was courageous and unselfish for him to make the trek to Washington, D.C. with Jon Stewart to speak to Congress. These were his last moments and he was still acting heroically.

So, Roger Ailes gives Trump debate questions in advance. Fox editor buries Stormy Daniels story in 2016 that would've hurt Trump in the general, uses a nondisclosure as a shield to stop the reporter.

This should should disqualify Fox News from hosting 2019-2020 debates.

In addition, Sean Hannity was working hand-in-hand with the Trump campaign. Hannity even loaned his private plane to fly Newt Gingrich to meet with Donald Trump for a VP audition.

Hannity has appeared on stage at Trump rallies.

Flashback to @realDonaldTrump desperately trying to get Vladmir Putin's attention at their first dinner in 2017. He's clearly signaling they are in this together. #Mueller #TreasonousTrump @realDonaldTrump **Vladimir**

Fun fact: Newt Gingrich married his high school math teacher.

Next fun fact: He repeatedly cheated on her and then told her he wanted a divorce while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer. More fun facts:

- His first campaign manager quit after he walked Newt's daughters to their fathers car and found him getting a blow job from the wife of a top donor.

- He cheated on his second wife with one of his staffers, who is now his wife and our Ambassador to the Vatican

To be clear, Justice Kennedy negotiated his retirement, insisting on naming his replacement: Brett Kavanaugh. After another former Kennedy clerk, Neil Gorsuch was put on the Supreme Court.

This is not right. This is how white supremacy and the patriarchy roll on. If the nearly all white, all male Supreme Court get to handpick their replacements, this isn't a lifetime appointment, it is in perpetuity.
