He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

Currently at the dentist getting a tooth pulled. 2 crowns and a root canal and the tooth still failed. Implant soon and hopefully the rest of my mouth holds together long enough for me to replenish my tooth $. And yes the tooth fairy aka my mom already offered me $ for it!

The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 147-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both Democracy and Personal Liberty.

Loved seeing the protesters holding American flags and signs saying “US military should NOT be on US Soil” as I drove past the Prairie Village, KS city hall today. What amazing patriots!

TRUTH. “We were told he was going to go after violent criminals. This wasn’t a drug den. It was a Home Depot.” -Mayor Karen Bass

This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

This is what I am saying. This is a pocket civil war.

Someone please tell me how my 25lb cat hides it all in pics. 😻

Went for a lovely walk with my daughter tonight after getting Sonic drinks. The park smelled so good! The plants were all in full aroma after yesterday’s soaking. It’s so good to be friends with my adult kiddo who is such a neat human! I’m just full of love!

Thinking of my dad Jerry Lynn Smith today. He fought in Vietnam as a radio operator, was battlefield promoted to Sergeant, upon return to the states he helped create the internet and virtual reality, and died in 2001 of a heart attack. Love and miss you dad! You’d be so proud of your grandkids!

So much truth here!

Take a breath... and read this Reminder from Michael Moore. Then take another breath, deeper. More conscious... Repeat as needed...

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.

Good morning BlueSky. Magnanimous means showing a generous and noble spirit, especially toward others in difficult situations. A magnanimous person forgives easily, rises above pettiness, and acts with true kindness. Let’s all be more magnanimous today.💙 #StrongerTogether

My youngest child graduates from college today. I’ve achieved the ultimate parenting goal! My heart is full and I am so proud of her!

My maga neighbor told me yesterday that Trump is going to abolish the income tax for people making less than $205k to offset the cost of tariffs. What the heck?
