The economy is in chaos, the Defense Dept. is trying to cover up leaking war plans in a group chat, and Trump & Musk are dismantling vital programs. What is the GOP using precious Floor time on this week? Repealing refrigerator efficiency standards. You can’t make this up. The GOP is out of touch.

Tulsi Gabbard: “Totally not telling you the 5 things I did last week on the grounds that it’s highly incriminating.” #tinybraintulsi

He's never physically hurt anyone. Oh, except literally the people who have died due to his illegal funding cuts. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

FUN FACT: The last competent person Trump hired was Stormy Daniels.

I think it's time we name and shame the humans who are carrying out the illegal actions of the White House. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are SAYING a lot, but they aren't personally flying the planes or slapping on the handcuffs. Who's doing the bidding? www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

How pro-life are you? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Had a beautiful 50th birthday that ended with a gorgeous full moon. Excited for my 51st year!

Last day of age 49 has me pondering whether a thing of dry Cheerios will help my cholesterol score on my impending blood test. #genx #passmethegeritol

Trump does NOT protect women. Full stop. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

I’m an early morning person and the start of DST makes me wanna crotch punch whoever came up with it.

Occasionally nursing school stuff has me laughing out loud. “Note: real urine is not blue.” NOW THEY TELL ME.

Make no mistake, this will happen daily until January 20, 2029 ...

I hate the way I can be mostly fine for a long time, and then grief sucker punches me out of nowhere. I sure do miss him. #grief #widow #fuckcancer #fuckglioblastoma

Thanks, AARP. 😭

"Earlier this year, Republicans killed a bipartisan push to enable representatives to vote remotely while on maternity leave..” I bet if men got periods, Congressional remote voting would get approved faster than a need to change the first tampon.

My birthday’s coming up soon…

Rest in peace, my sweet granddog Bindi. You were such a good girl, and your dad misses you so. Thank you for being there for him whenever I couldn’t.

I gave my thoughts on this to David long ago from his Webworm article; this podcast is SO worth a listen. Please know MOST people with seizures aren't faking it...which is why Fake Seizure Guy grinds my gears so.

Just FYI...Trump can sign all the executive orders he wants (which, by the way, is a terrible way to govern in a democracy). Let's see what they'll do to force compliance, because THAT is where the power is. Not in the order. Just remember that. Again...don't obey in advance.

You cannot "make America great again" by showing a complete lack of understanding of the global economy, and America's role in it. But Donald Trump's usual plan: create a problem (or exacerbate an existing problem) and then convince people he's the only one who can solve it.

My son says this makes me a bad New Mexican.

My son making use of his late grandfather's hand-built table saw. Proud mom!!

Pardoning cop-beating rioters, attacking the clergy and threatening to invade sovereign nations and we're not even 48 hours into the Trump regime.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. Search and seizure is still illegal - "Not without a warrant." Commit that to memory and heart. iamerica.org/know-your-ri...

If you haven't read @davidfarrier.bsky.social's newsletter Webworm - you're missing out! Well worth the subscription...funny, smart, curious, and kind. He's a gem! Here is one of my favorites if you want a taste: www.webworm.co/p/confession...

It’s been a week of hard work and missing the guy who gave me this…I have earned some #dateline!

It is December 13 and there are still bugs biting me. Proof that middle aged women are A TASTY SNACK! 😉

This.
