I know a few things about a few things.
Bluesky skeets and sharts—both are my own brand of explosive self-expression.
Also a fan of satire, literary devices, and brevity.

Hawley’s for Medicaid and higher pay? Must mean the GOP’s new motto is “Tax the rich, hug a nurse, and pass the kombucha.

Let’s have politicians swap roles—try living on minimum wage. Bet they’ll suddenly find livable wages pretty important!

The OG “show your work” rule feels almost lost today. It seems understanding the process has taken a backseat to just getting the answer.

I’d spend my whole marriage agreeing she’s always right just to watch a town hall with Pete Buttigieg squaring off with Sean Duffy. 🚧 😂 #RoadRules

Funny how tweeting support for Hamas gets you flagged, but if Qatar-linked to Hamas-gifts you a luxury jet, you just call it “presidential perks.” Guess some flights really do get you above the law!

@maddow.msnbc.com repeatedly nails it - pay attention to what they do, not what they say.

Will Giada De Laurentiis’ #foodporn be next on GOP’s chopping block? With their new bill so broad it could criminalize Game of Thrones, even a saucy risotto might land you in federal hot water. 🍆 🍑 🍒

Rand Paul’s Emoluments Clause detector must’ve been on airplane mode during Trump’s D.C. hotel days-guess the grift only counts when it comes with a runway and a gift receipt. #FlyingFiasco ✈️

GOP: Pro-life until birth, then it’s “bootstrap time”-unless you’re on death row, in which case, they’ll fund your last meal. SNAP cuts: because nothing says “family values” like empty pantries and tax breaks for billionaires

#BlueJays still need another player with hitter pedigree at the deadline. What do you think it would take to pry Jano from Tampa for DH? Would you consider it a decent option?

The #BlueJays players are pulling off a bad magic trick, pulling the rug out from under their manager.

Gavin Newsom’s ex-wife is Kimberly Guilfoyle who dated Don Jr but then nominated for Greek ambassador. The plot thickens—or curdles.

What about the people in Congress not actually eligible to be there? A few names come to mind…

Freeland impressed pre-vote, but Liberals chose wisely with Carney—an economist who guided Canada during the 2008 crisis and the UK through Brexit. Now, he’s steering Canadians (and the world) through Trump’s global chaos. Carney’s leadership is vital; let’s keep him at the helm! 🇨🇦

Nailed it! You have revealed the obvious involvement of Chuck Schumer in AI writing.

Writing in @nytimes.com @petersgoodman.bsky.social nails it: Rising bond yields are like a drop in red blood cell count—many causes, none good. For this old trauma nurse, it’s a clear analogy for the economic stress we’re seeing.

Bill Maher critiques extremes on the right and left, resonating with moderates and disaffected voters. His independent perspective could be a bellwether for 2026, highlighting the need for Democrats to bridge divides, address frustrations, and adopt strategies that appeal to a broader base.

The “Trump effect” has seen Canadian trips to the US plummet by 70-90% due to political tensions resulting in significant economic losses across many sectors.

They fear the stories he’ll tell, and rightly so. The movement for his release grows louder as Trump drags his feet on SCOTUS’s orders. Will the high court assert clarity or risk irrelevance as the executive branch defies its authority? ⚖️

SCOTUS gave Trump clear directions, but he’s ignoring them like a bowler who steps over the foul line, then argues the gutter is where strikes are born.

Looking forward to his Senate run. He will be a barn burner in DC.

Karoline Leavitt’s gaslighting over tariffs and the economic meltdown is a new low. In just 90 days, she’s made Sean Spicer seem competent. Like the viral video of the man cleaning a statue, she’s firmly lodged in the shadow of Trump’s disastrous policies.

Russian drone strikes on Ukraine during Palm Sunday expose the cruelty of targeting civilians on a sacred day. Fox News’s “both sides” rhetoric echoes Trump’s failed defense of neo-Nazis in 2017. This duplicity won’t obscure accountability; the truth is clear to all.

I expect it will be a PR nightmare given the treatment at CECOT. Wouldn’t take Trump’s word for it, Abrego Garcia’s barristers should ask for POL.

Safe seats breed detachment:
Speaker Mike Johnson (and 70% of House GOP) has a mostly rural district, faces Medicaid cuts that could devastate rural hospitals, risking closures which leads to long trips for hospital care.
MJ hasn’t had a town hall since Aug ‘23…

Repeating the Walz mistake of ‘24. What made him appealing to the ticket was his ‘every man’ vibes. He was plain-spoken, oozing with authenticity. The campaign team appeared to muzzle his strengths due to overly cautious strategies.

Fox Business stringing along Trump marks: where tariffs are the clown car, and stocks are the juggling balls. It’s a circus where everyone’s laughing, until the tent collapses.
