Grumpy old man… 60 y/o white male who supports common sense leadership and respects that everyone has a right to live life the way they choose so long as it doesn’t infringe on the rights of others. I want to be a proud American again… GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

This is what we have media for!!! Every media outlet should be calling this out. This is how dictators win. You control the military and you control the people.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

I'm 38 years old, and since Molina health insurance denied surgery for bone spurs in my spine, I've been bedbound with no income. I just got Medicaid, and it has opened the door to REAL healthcare & HOPE. Cutting Medicaid will close the door on my future. #DontCutMyMedicaid #DontKillMe

Good we should do that here

Respecto Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum🔥🔥 🇲🇽 🇲🇽👏🏽👏🏽

It has been a long and grueling week. Thank you to everyone who offered kind words of support. If you want to follow everything happening to democracy in court, while also supporting pro-democracy independent media, please sign up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

President Trump has ousted Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown and says he is replacing him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Caine. A retired four-star general expressed serious dismay over this move to me tonight, calling it "sadly political and tragic for our nation."

I’m encouraged by these town halls but I also remember very clearly how this happened in 2017 as well. Instead of responding to the complaints, they stopped doing them. www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpo...

NEW: Trump’s DoJ Chief of Staff has filed a complaint against Judge Reyes because she bench slapped their bigoted asses into the sun three days ago.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

❗️“Thank you all for your help and for the sense of unity – unity that is as important now as it is in 2022,” Zelenskyy said. “I am proud of our people, proud of everyone who fights, who helps and believes – believes that evil should not win in wars.”

Nancy Mace is, among other things, just painfully stupid.

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Someone in congress should test Trump. Come up behind him and simply say “Krasnov” and see if he turns around or answers

We aren’t all farmers…

Todays hero

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Hockey fan here. Red blooded American. Last night I was rooting for Canada. I almost never revert to this old cliche, but.... THIS IS A MUST READ.

Judge orders nationwide preliminary injunction of anti-DEI executive orders. "Plaintiffs’ irreparable harms include widespread chilling of unquestionably protected speech." www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

Hey Republican voters, Do Adam Kinzinger & Liz Cheney sound like the crazy ones, now? You booted out the sane Republicans & kept the lunatics who are hell bent on destroying the United States! Who's crazy, now?

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. He lied. 2 out of every 5 births in this country are covered by Medicaid.... Don't Cut My Medicaid #DontCutMyMedicaid

Canada did it for The Flag 🇨🇦 🇨🇦🏒🇨🇦🏒🇨🇦🏒🇨🇦🏒🇨🇦🏒🇨🇦🏒

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.
