I have to remember a time in America where people were turning others in as Communists, they being arrested, vilified, denied employment until finally, finally a few had the bravery to speak up. And America recovered.

HELL YEAH: In a masterful speech, the Democratic governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker announces not ONLY a balanced budget in his state but alludes to Donald Trump and Elon Musk as being “IDIOTS.” Let me know if you agree with him.

IMHO. Remember Trump said if people voted for him they would never have to vote again? The Republican Adm. is moving that way. The DNC, former presidents, Congress, etc. are just asking for money. Why would they not believe what he said & there will be no need to run campaigns.

Let me ask again: where are presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton. Where are the Fortune 500 CEOs? The university presidents. Is all this “leadership” stuff they tout just words? I don’t want to think so but the question must be asked.

Pick a topic(s). Call/write/email both of your senators regardless of party. Same with your representative. Then your governor and state senator/representative. Add the Democratic National Committee. Make it short, simple and direct.."What are you doing now about..." "I am opposed to..."

Serious question since I am retired and don’t know how it works. Can all the people “released/let go/fired/etc” by the Republican Administration file for and get unemployment?

The whole Gulf of Mexico thing has been entertaining. Don’t forget the real issue of confirmation hearings & the illegal stopping of fund disbursement. Write/call/email your Senators & Representative & stress the real issues.

@rbhubbell.bsky.social says it’s time for the Dem MOC to implement a Shadow Cabinet. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been sounding the alarm to do this. Robert’s suggestions who should be on it are in his article. We can add to it. @repjasmine.bsky.social comes to mind. Let’s do this! 202-224-3121.

This is terrible. The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house. Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.

Example of "male default" pulled from an ESPN article. "Six Nations and Women's Six Nations" It should be "Men's Six Nations and Women's Six Nations" and ESPN should know better.

Trying to decide where to put my "news" dollars. There are several on-line services - 1440; Intercept and others that are requesting I subscribe. I already subscribe to The Guardian and I faithfully read Letters from an American. Suggestions? Thoughts?

"Trump signed an executive order to bar transgender women competing in women’s sports. K-12 schools and colleges that violate it would risk losing federal money." But isn't Musk/Trump closing down the Department of Education?

If you live in a state with Democrat Senates, please write, call and/or email them that if they vote for Trump nominees, they will be complicit in all that Musk is doing. And, that will be remembered when they want funds for future elections.

This isn’t a political contest. This is a power struggle Arrest Musk! Law: 18 U.S.C. § 111. This statute makes it a federal crime to forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with federal officers or employees during the performance of their official duties
