Oh myyy

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Body language says everything.

This is indeed brilliant

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It's been a crazy week – and Donald Trump is trying to silence journalists who stand up to him. It’s working. Here's the most important thing you missed: youtu.be/4Ch2t4ffc0o?...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Ever wonder why civil servant protections are law in the US? Happy President’s Day:

This energy.

Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

I realize what a long shot this is, but our kid threw their beloved teddy bear out of the shopping cart at the Target at Sunset and Western in Hollywood. Teddy is much missed if you happen to hear of a missing bear!

Trump's federal funding freeze has stopped the hiring of thousands of essential, seasonal firefighters. Yes. You read that right. I'm demanding answers from the Trump administration ASAP. They must reverse this freeze.

1/ A lot of people have VALID SKEPTICISM and VALID DOUBTS about the future of the democratic party and it's new chair. I'd be lying if i said i wasn't one who has concerns. However now is the time to express concerns, issues, suggestions. Get involved with your local state party.

FBI Director nominee Kash Patel promised no retribution. The next day, we have this grotesque purge at the FBI. Bondi said she would examine pardons on a case by case basis. Then Trump gave 1550 pardons overnight. Their confirmation commitments mean nothing.

The DUI hire weighs in.

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

I'll reiterate that I don't think the various trolls/bots/chuds here understand how comprehensive the Bluesky block function is here. It's so good that it actually encourages "don't engage, just block": nothing's left over after the block happens so there's no point engaging at all. Just brilliant.

Thanks for reminding people to preorder my book, Hater McTroll.(NOW I'm shilling.) www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/amand...

Hard no. Maybe he’ll say it was just a joke but you can’t put the FBI in the hands of someone who thinks this is funny.

What could contribute more to government efficiency than by securing lucrative contracts for your crypto donors to implement inefficient technology that is uniquely suited to solving problems you don’t have? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Today it begins. I’ll say it again. Take Trump’s threats seriously. My op-ed on MSNBC. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Obama’s inauguration - 28 degrees I’m going to leave this here ALL day Jan. 20 …..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you, Oregon! 🙏🏽 The viral claim that 60 fire engines from Oregon were turned away in California over emissions is FALSE. Three hundred Oregon firefighters volunteered to come and have arrived in Southern California. They’re already fighting fires in Los Angeles. 🧵
