No Kings Day in Conway, NH.

Senate Democrats: 213 of your fellow Democrats in the House stood up to the Republicans' attempt to enable a monarchy. Do NOT play "Follow the Leader" in the Senate! Vote AGAINST cloture and let Republicans explain why they didn't work with Democrats on a compromise.

The Senate should not vote for cloture. House Democrats should return to Washington and announce they are ready to negotiate and ask the Republicans to join them to find a common ground to stop the shutdown. And if they do not return, and are not holding town halls, call them out daily or more.

I just called one of my senators, sent an email to the other, and wrote to Schumer asking him to reconsider his decision. You know the Kennedy Center chairman will be crowing loud and long about his victory and the willingness of the Democrats roll over and play dead.

If I hear one more "pundit" call Social Security entitlement, I want them to give up claims to their "entitlement" now and have the money sent to a cancer research charity of their choice that they are not affiliated with. And have their employer do the same.

...And if they do pass something, we all know that the Bobsey Twins will ignore any designation on how the money is spent and either not spend it or use it on another 10 or 12 golfing holidays for the Kennedy Center chairman and another four or five Madame President Musk Roman candles.

Let's face it- if Congress does not pass something by Friday, the government will shut down... unless Kennedy Center chairman and Madame President Musk does it first.

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

Is there any chance that during the Congressional break people can march around their representatives' offices 24 hours a day for the duration? Keep reminding them of what their job is? Don't block people, don't harass people, just make them know you are there and watching.

X If the DOGE "code hackers / experts" are so good, why doesn't Madame President Musk have them working on software so his Cyberdunks won't serve into traffic or catch fire

If any fired government worker wants to go back into the building, just walk up to security and say "I was fired yesterday, but they want to unfire me today." Chances are it will work because (a) they don't know and (b) it is probably true.

My personal wish is that Canada says "Thanks for taking off the tariffs. We're keeping ours in place against you. We are stopping our knee-jerk reactions to your jerk reactions and will see if you calm down and learn a lesson. For now, go sit in a corner and think about what you've done."

I was not impressed by the pilot episode of the new reality game show "No Truths, Just Lies" last night- definitely too long and an overbearing host who should stick to his day job of Kennedy Center chairman.

When they start looking for Federal buildings to sell, at least the White House is off the market already.

Is Speaker Johnson modeling for his bobble-head doll?

YOU are not humilated when two people gang up on you, yell at you, and don't let you speak and when you do speak, you remain calm. And I wish media would remember that when they are writing headlines.

I wish newscasters would stop saying this is a change in the US position- it is a change in TRUMP'S position, he does not represent 50% or more of us per the last election (and the two before that).

Says it all.

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

A disgraceful day.

I suggest a senior government official visit the Texas areas hardest hit by the measles outbreak to offer hopes and prayers. I nominate RFK Jr.
