RFKj, with his boss sitting next to him, stated kids chronic health issues are due to too much ultra processed foods (macdonalds?), not enough exercise (golf carts instead of walking) and too much screen time (tweeting at 2 am). The irony of the moment can’t be ignored.

DOGE should give everyone instructions for using a weather rock in lieu of actual forecasters, since they so brilliantly cut NWS funding.

A staggering 40% of the country’s weather forecast offices have significant staffing vacancies. Some offices can no longer operate overnight – imperiling their ability to warn people of imminent extreme weather.  Make no mistake: DOGE's cuts put American lives at risk.

It's funny how the venn diagram of Americans who call themselves patriots and Americans who are patriots are two entirely distinct circles with no overlap

Cure for big beautiful bill? BIG BEAUTIFUL IMPEACHMENT!

Every decision, every vote and every bill must respect our ancestors and future generations. To damage earth is to damage your children.

Stand up! This is our time! Thank you Representative Underwood! www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Alcatraz is easier to understand than bitcoin. That’s why we aren’t hearing more about illegal presidential bitcoin activities. Constitution. Courts. Impeach.

Trying to imagine if Trump told America, "Maybe you don't need 30 guns, maybe 2 guns."

Yeah. I’m far left. Believe in giving all kids a good education, decent health care, protecting the constitution, safe drinking water. You know. Stupid shit.

Detailed Army plans for a potential military parade on President Donald Trump’s birthday in June, which coincides with the service's 250th anniversary, call for more than 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands and possibly a couple thousand civilians, the AP has learned.

From au.org The First Amendment is admirably clear: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion . . .” And yet, Congress made a law establishing a national day of prayer.

The USA is rapidly devolving into a country that is hostile and unpredictable. Our domestic enemies are now in charge, and there is plenty of dark money fueling them, with favors being rewarded. Is there no one with integrity to investigate corruption?

I would support immediate Sainthood if Francis would take 47, JD and EM along for the ride.

“Anyone who has not broken the law should not be worried,” Leavitt told The Associated Press. “If you have broken the law and engaged in the weaponization of justice, then you should be worried. It’s that simple.” Hasn’t 47 already weaponized justice? apnews.com/article/demo...

Republicans in the House just passed the SAVE Act. It tells Troops overseas, disabled Veterans, and Military Families: We don’t want you to vote. That’s not “election security.” 
That’s voter suppression.

When we call, only a ghost voice answers saying “Thank you for calling, leave a message and have a great day.” Remember he serves all Alaskans, except those who call, who question, who didn’t vote for him. We stand united, you aren’t in Ohio any more. We are taking note, and we vote.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if there was a “use the wrong restroom day?” If there is a line for a toilet it’s ALWAYS a line of woman.

Sign at the Anchorage protest, in front of Peterson Tower, where Sen. Dan Sullivan (and the rest of Alaska’s congressional delegation have offices)

Four Army Soldiers died in Lithuania, they were returned to the US and THIS is what the so called commander in chief did instead of attending the Dignified Transfer. What a POS.

We are all safer when public health has the tools it needs to contain communicable diseases. How many measles cases do we need to drive that message home to the oligarchs?

3.28.25 Are you better off now than you were 66 days ago?

At risk: the 5 major pillars of a civil society: universities, science, the media, the law, the arts. Religion and patriotism have been hijacked, our souls cannot unless we let them.

Was at the dentist this morning. Dentist: How's it going? Me: Eh, haven't been added to any confidential Signal chats! Dentist: ...what? Neither dentist nor her assistants had any idea about the top headline on every single news site yesterday. Talk about it. GET PEOPLE to follow the news.

A Tea Party protest sign from 2011. The Tea Partiers believed that a man they thought was born in Africa was going to steal their Medicare. Now a man who was definitely born in Africa is definitely stealing their Medicare, and yet they’re strangely silent. Come on, Tea Party, dust off those signs!
