I'll tell you what I didn't get done last week. I didn't fire every federal employee and/or agency investigating my companies for unethical and illegal conduct. You?

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

BREAKING: All seven of Elon Musk’s companies — X, xAI, Neuralink, Starlink, the Boring Company, Tesla and SpaceX —have netted a combined $20 billion in US government contracts and subsidies, according to the Financial Times. Does MAGA care to comment?

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

Kendrick Lamar showed more courage in the face of rising American tyranny than we’ve seen from ANY former American leader. If you swore an oath to protect this nation, where are you now? youtube.com/shorts/keNw6...

This is a closeup of a section of a large painting I did 6 years ago. The climbing, wild rose bush was along a fence up the road from me. The painting sold a long time ago. I love this composition and may repaint it.

This 20” x 20” oil painting is currently available through Tranquility Fine arts in Woodstock GA. It’s a gallery wrapped canvas ready to hang. I painted these roses from life awhile back. Shipping is available! I think this would make a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift for someone special.

Here is Caroline Kennedy absolutely coming for RFK Jr, a "predator" whose behavior, she says, would leave both her father and his "disgusted." www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLLx...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Dude. I'm Pissed. youtube.com/shorts/zBYoY...

Some flowers sent from a longtime friend. I transferred them to this small pitcher I found in a thrift store. I’m going to try to paint a little today but 8 broken ribs are really not conducive to productivity. I’m healing but geez this is hard.

We need better coverage of Elon Musk. Legacy outlets do not seem up to the task. That’s why I just launched Musk Watch. Independent accountability journalism focused on one of the most powerful humans in history. Please check it out! muskwatch.com/subscribe

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

Four years ago today, donald Trump Sr. launched a violent insurrection at our Capitol. We all watched it. A weak AG, donald’s co-conspirators, & GOP enablers have been fools, criminals, & cowards beyond measure. donald is now set re-assume office in violation of the Constitution. This is the truth.

I don't know why patriot Charlie Kirk deleted this patriotic tweet about patriotic buses busing patriots to DC on Jan 6th, but the Internet never forgets. web.archive.org/web/20210107...

I'm gonna share this cartoon again simply because Jeff Bezos' Washington Post tried to censor it.

Happy Holidays! I painted this a few years ago. 12” x 16” oil on linen panel

Fear of books is fear of ideas. It's fear of democracy itself. Let's ban that!
