All true, sadly, all true. Jeez, I miss her!

As a Parks agency budget staff, this resonates. We are stewards of taxpayer $$$, admissions fees, grants, and subcontracts. We work hard to serve our community. We must operate in a "business-like manner" as our funding is limited, but every decision is based on advancing our mission. SERVICE is key

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

They won’t ever learn will they

I absolutely love this idea.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico for 425 years. Thanks Britannica!

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

My message to Google this morning. Let's throw some Bluesky weight into objecting to these absurdities. It's practice for the really hard days ahead.

The President *may* have immunity for Presidential Acts, but no one else in the Administration does. FOTUS may be able to pardon them eventually, but we can/must bring the conflicts to light, prosecute as we can, and reinforce the system.

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

Murphy: "I continue to get reports from Connecticut that agencies there, like Head Start programs and community health centers, are actually not receiving the funding they are due. So I think there's a big question as to whether the administration actually is implementing the court order."

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

Well, sorry but I feel like a child right about now. WE need helpers too...

Sorry, Farmers For Trump.

If they will erase and evict a 4-star Admiral, they will certainly erase and evict you and me and our daughters.
