Reminder: no matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is no way they can pay for their proposed tax cuts without gutting Medicaid and other programs that millions of people rely on. Don't believe their lies for a second.

When Trump imposed tariffs during his first term, companies who contributed to Republicans were more likely to be granted tariff exemptions. Trump's corporate donors won't shoulder the cost of his trade wars — working class Americans will. It's crony capitalism at its worst.

I suspect GOP Members of Congress have been intimidated to the point where they’d rather be voted out of office than protect their constituents from the current Administration’s agenda.

Remember how Mark Zuckerberg started cozying up to Trump as Meta donated $1 million to his inauguration? Well now Zuckerberg is trying to cash in — reportedly lobbying Trump to settle the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta. This is why you always follow the money.

Looks as if today’s local weather forecast has changed from ☔️ to 💨. My human is talking about going to the grocery store, and I hope she doesn’t get blown into the street. Human’s core strength isn’t what it used to be, so she should avoid struggling with wind gusts.

As difficult as it is to be patient with cows who keep noticing my oversights and bringing them to my attention, I must admit they’ve been helpful. Very helpful. And special thanks to Miriam, who, this past week, said “MMMMMOOOOOOO” at the right time. My hero!

You wanna know what really bothers me? It’s when, after standing at the dry erase board, answering questions/describing details for more than an hour and feeling confident I’ve covered all bases, I hear MMMMMOOOOOOO.” #InquisitiveCows

We aren’t talking about numbers on some spreadsheet when it comes to Donald Trump’s cuts to Medicaid. These are real people in real communities whose lives are on the line. Speak up, stand up, get engaged – it’s going to take every single one of our voices.

Please forgive me. If a post makes me laugh, I will no longer resist the impulse to share it. That’s the sort of teddy bear I’ve become.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

I wish I could grow up. I keep laughing when I shouldn’t. Yesterday, I saw a hallway fire extinguisher case that had a sign saying IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, BREAK GLASS. Someone (not I) had crossed out the word GLASS and replaced it with WIND. I truly regret giggling.
