Trump's Faustian Bargain: "Looking ahead, Musk’s wealth could help keep Republicans in Trump’s fold. Any GOP lawmaker tempted to defy Trump may fear that the new president would orchestrate a primary challenge bankrolled by Musk." - NBC News www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I'm still hopeful that Trump will dump Pete Hegseth and nominate Ron DeSantis for SecDef. Not that he'd be good in that job. I just want him the hell out of Florida! He's done enough damage. And Trump will fire him soon enough and then we will all be rid of him for a bit.

@debmaermas.bsky.social @debmaermas.bsky.social 2/2 Look at what they post, if anything. May post nothing or just repost what others said. I look for original posts that say something I'm interested in! Have fun! If anyone weirds you out, just block them!

Matt Gaetz is a sexual predator. These are his Venmo payments to young girls for sex. And Trump wants to make him the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country. Birds of a feather...

Blah, blah, blah. All I'm hearing here is more liberal sour grapes and whining. Move on! I'm here to help move the national needle back left, if possible. Please contact me if you are a leader with specific ideas or are part of an organization that is actively strategizing just how to do that.

Please call the U.S. House Ethics Committee at 202-225-7103 and leave a message for Ranking Democratic Member Susan Wild (PA) to release the report on former Representative Matt Gaetz. Staff is very polite. They will not even ask your name!

@mikenellis.bsky.social Hi Mike! Thanks for the follow! Hopefully I have something worthwile to add or at least be entertaining! I'm a lifelong Democrat feeling politically out of sync for 50 years, so now is nothing new. I spend my days worrying, sub teaching and helping to raise my grandchildren!

An apt description of Trump's absurd appointments. Also, he can discard they flunkys to take the heat when his instructions backfire.

@darkcrassus.bsky.social I've follow you on Tik-Tok for quite awhile. We are all recovering from a terrible shock at how completely wrong we were. Now it's time to organize, strategize and rebuild to protect against the oncoming full assault on our nation's bedrock democratic principles.

That's me, Daddio of the Patio! Broke in our new Weber grill with NY strip steaks. Accompanied by corn on the cob, steamed broccoli, and rice pilaf. Yum!

Yes, it's been that kind of week!
