Join us Friday May 2 8:30 pm at La Sharada in #Lisbon for pizza, beverages and #bobdylan tunes.

Egg prices still too high in the US? Come to Portugal. 🇵🇹

And I haven’t even put away my Liberation Day decorations yet. Sheesh. We’re being conned, folks. #tariffs

Gee, I wonder why. 🇵🇹

Coming soon to Lisbon! 🇵🇹

Tonight’s dinner. It was delicious. 🇵🇹

Can these DOGE goons be any more incompetent?https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/heres-a-dead-person-on-social-security-in-seattle-with-plenty-to-say/

5 years ago this month the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a world pandemic. I still hear people saying it was overhyped, not a big deal. Have their memories been wiped? We can’t forget. #covid #pandemic Pandemic Diary: A Covid Survivor's Tale a.co/d/86UeJJ0

The question, JD Vance, is not whether Zelinsky has said thank you to the president. The question is have you or Trump ever said thank you to Zelinsky and the people of Ukraine for the sacrifices they’ve made standing up to a murderous tyrant and protecting democracy? 🇺🇦

There needs to be a movement to pressure Congress to end funding for a planned mission to Mars, which will cost over time upwards of $600 billion. Hundreds of millions of dollars a year are being spent now on this wasteful project at a time when cuts are being made to essential services.

It’s Gulf of Mexico. 🇲🇽

I’m sure all these Very Principled & Courageous Republican Ukraine supporters in Congress who complained that Biden was not doing enough to help them defeat Putin will condemn Trump & Hegseth’s remarks today.

📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base. 📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

So how is putting 2,000 employees on leave, paying them to stay home and do nothing, making government more efficient and less costly?

David is not a pearl-clutching type. This is a realistic assessment of the deeply troubling situation Trump has created and encouraged. Not everyone wants to understand the situation. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...
