And if you call for an Uber or Lyft and get a Tesla, cancel it and tell them why.

So several years back we learned that the human brain is not fully formed until that human is 25 years old. What's the average age of Elon's Cadre of Disripters? Asking for a friend.

All my followers-support these folks. And support congress people and senators who are speaking out. And contact your representatives daily and encourage them. We can do this!

As of today, 18 SpaceX rockets exploded. As you can see, the first attempts ended in fire and failure. Which is exactly what’s happening to our government right now.

Shameful and murderous www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Imagine if -prosecutors who brought cases against Hunter Biden were purged -Soros employees took control of govt. payment and personnel systems -Executive order redefined 2nd Amendment by fiat -Every violent crime during a BLM protest was pardoned -People paid Biden millions for favorable treatment

@schiff.senate.gov You're my senator. Block, impeach, to everything you can to stop this slide to dictatorship

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

Hey guys! I’ve started something new. My new Substack… Go check it out! jimacosta.substack.com/p/hold-on-to...

Meals on Wheels America spox on OMB pause: "the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

Good question

Brilliant.

"Trump must have hoped, even if [the blanket pardons were] unpopular, that the issue would go away soon...But with people like Kash Patel up for confirmation, the pardons can and will remain front and center. Attention to the pardons isn’t going away." www.thebulwark.com/p/hang-the-j...

They win when you: - lose hope - give up - become cynical and withdraw - keep silent to stay off their radar Don't let them win.

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

A heartbreak Rest in peace Cecile Richards

Treasury Secretary nominee structured his compensation to avoid $900,000 in Medicare contributions, contrary to IRS guidance. Because hedge fund guys need a break compared to mechanics, firefighters, and schoolteachers who pay into Medicare…

Love this app

Some PhD student is going to write a terrific dissertation someday on how Trump's immigration ban and deportation policy will collide with the massive demand for construction labor in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

As the Jack Smith report gets tied up in court with stall tactics, it would seem prudent for some investigative reporter to file a FOIA request so that it can be produced if and when the cases are killed after Jan 20. Pending cases are excepted from FOIA. Closed investigations are not.

This is a brilliant idea, and if Democrats don’t do it, journalists should. Let’s think….

Worth a read

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Fave podcasts #sistersinlaw everything from #thebulwark (just started listening to Shield of the Republic and so far I love it!), The Enemies List, the Lincoln Project. Always been left of center but open minded. Love to learn. Wanted to major in history but followed my love of nature.

Yes, you have to pick a side in politics.

Donald Trump sold bibles. Jimmy Carter followed one. Trump cheated on all his wives. Carter only had one & was faithful. Donald Trump spent his post-presidency selling garbage like gold shoes and trading cards with AI images of himself. Jimmy Carter helped build homes for those without shelter.

The Mump Oligarchy – A Glossary 1/10. Mump regime. Musk plus Trump. Mu...mp. The real centibillionaire and the fake rich person in the proper order.

The whatever stages: * Denial * Anger * Binge eating * Depression * Eating popcorn whilst watching MAGA destroy American democracy and themselves and because that's the only thing we can afford (buy your air popper before the tariffs apocalypse)

As HHS Secretary, RFK Jr.’s bird flu denial & support for raw milk won’t just impact humans. He’ll be killing the dogs. He’ll be killing the cats. And then probably eat them. Call your Senators — regardless of political party — and tell them to vote against his confirmation: 202-224-3121
