Had some leftover cinnamon rolls, so popped one in the microwave to warm it back up and then topped it with some good vanilla ice cream and caramel topping.

how much does a billionaire need to keep billionaire greed at the expense of us...are fellow citizens who might be needing the basic essentials to lead a happy life

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

Daily reminder: Be more like AOC.

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

Trump is simply repeating a Putin talking point here. Russia has insisted on intervening in basic issues of Ukrainian sovereignty for more than a decade. Now Trump is doing Putin’s PR work, making unsustainable arguments for an unjustifiable invasion. www.axios.com/2025/02/18/t...

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

The people Trump brought into his administration because they were on Fox News all the time are still on Fox News all the time.

A political action committee backed by billionaire Elon Musk has scheduled hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of TV ads in Wisconsin this week.

Whether it’s Mussolini making the trains run on time or Donald Trump making the planes crash, both fascist dictators showed a strong interest in transportation.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

That’s the problem. We’ve been standing by for too long.

One day, being a Trumper will be a scarlet letter. It will be like supporting the confederacy, or supporting Hitler. It will be a disgrace. A reason to be shamed. An instant understanding of your acceptance of greed, ignorance, lies, racism, bigotry, incompetence, & treason.

Very communist! “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

I think what we’re learning is the government should be run by people who understand why it exists.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

So important.

She's not wrong......

A statement from the Kennedy Center

Notice how Elon Musk is prioritizing the government withholding money from researching pediatric cancer instead of paying for his exploding rockets? Not a failing of humanity, decency, or a conflict of interest at all.

Never ever

We can all agree here...

The Purge Wrecking the civil service

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

WATCH: “You’re walking right into the trap.” @karaswisher.bsky.social admonishes the media for continuing to say Elon/DOGE ‘may have a point’ that cuts should be made — as though any of this is being done in good faith, when it obviously isn’t 🎯

The soaring price of eggs has only benefited the top 1% of hens.

Labor shortages from immigrant deportations would lead to reduced production, higher prices & greater food insecurity for Americans. Trump wants to bring in captive H-2 visa workers, subject to wage theft & human trafficking. How is this "America first"? http://dlvr.it/THqqk4

@schatz.bsky.social THANK YOU!My Senator

A New Democrat has Risen to What We Believe In and His Name is Brian Schatz!! Aloha Everyone

One more break: This is the kind of thing where we need more independent or even citizen journalism. CNN and the NYT won't cover something like this. But it's these kinds of stunts that might keep us from fascism.

Fairness. Compassion. Kindness. Empathy. All painted over. Literally. By this administration. An administration of evil. Carrying a Bible. Wearing a cross. Praying to a flag. On bended knees. Not for patriotism. But for fascism.

I can see the fear. He is afraid, with good reason, that he’ll be blamed. Trump is actually very easily spooked. And when he reacts this bizarrely, and falls back on the low-hanging fruit of racism as cover, it’s because he’s scared.
