Just completed my move back “home.” After 20 years away. First thing that stood out to me from DC to where I am now is reverse sticker price. Took the family out and had a few beers, wine and food for all. Was like $60. In DC it would be $175

😳😳😳 Oh for fuck sakes #Politics

This is too concerning & too plausible with this administration to ignore. I hope I am wrong, but this needs to be investigated. They will not come clean & would love to keep the story where it is. Which is enough to make most vomit but it may be soooo much worse. #Politics #RussiaHasUsByTheBalls

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Top intelligence committees need to begin an investigation into Pete Hegseth's epic Signal chat mishap. ASAP. There should be televised hearings so all Americans have transparency on how such an enormous breach of national security could take place in first place.

Something special is happening, people. Ignore it or downplay it at your own peril…

How about that for a thought, huh? 🤔 …”Representative Delia Ramirez told Axios her constituents have “passionately” said they’re unhappy with Democratic leadership.” No shit. #Politics

Oh, that caption… #Politics

What could go wrong? At least Musk isn’t a money first prick who would sell it to China, right? Oh fuck, maybe? #Politics #Unreal

Maybe it’s only me, CNN, but something about the self-proclaimed carrying out “extensive strikes” does a little more than “throw doubt” on a ceasefire. #Politics

It’s hard to watch what is going on in this nation & with the federal government right now. Words don’t begin to describe what I & so many have felt & in some cases seen. I left home in 2006 to join the #USMC. I served on active duty for over 8 years. When an injury sustained in Afghanistan…

For all those people who think “the left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.

I've never been a big Bernie fan but I have to give him credit for being one of the few members of the Democratic party who are not playing dead as Trump ransacks our country. Respect.

👍

“After Chuck Schumer helped pass Trump’s spending bill, some Dems have finally had enough of their leadership’s powerlessness act.” #Politics #FightLikeYouGiveaShit

I grew up poor. I am white. I got help along the way because I am white. I got the benefit of the doubt that others don’t but deserve. I proved it’s the right thing to do based on my life & giving back when afforded the ability to do so. Invest in those “below” us. It’ll help you!

“Half the population's just waiting to see me fail. Yeah, right, you're better off tryna freeze hell…”

“Behind Trump’s fog bank and pretexts, he and his un-elected co-president Musk are simply stealing from the American people to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. It’s gangster government.” #Bingo #Politics

“Mr. Sanders said the bill “moves our country toward authoritarianism by usurping Congress’ constitutional responsibility to determine how federal funds are spent & creates at the same time a slush fund for Elon Musk & Donald Trump to continue their war against the working families of our country.”

“Nasruddin Amer, deputy head of the Houthi media office, said the airstrikes won’t deter them and they would retaliate against the U.S. “Sanaa will remain Gaza’s shield and support and will not abandon it no matter the challenges,” he added on social media.” #Politics

Tonight please join us at 8 PM I will be doing a MEGA BOOST post In honor of our friends, Brittney and Donk In her absence, she asked me to do a post so we are going to celebrate them and ask that the moderation team bring them back #StrongerTogether

It does leave us/leftist at a disagreement/crossroads (for some of us). But let’s not get distracted from the real goal & purpose of what we believe. As I tell my kids “our disagreement now is a small thing, stay focused on the big things.” We can’t fracture. It makes their mission easier.
