Please, make yourself at home here and ignore the smell. Film, SCUBA, Dem (among other helplessly lost causes), travel, and a mighty shih tzu.

I think there should be more talk about: "Of course, he won. One dude put almost $45,000,000,00 behind electing him, and all of the biggest media outlets in America tacitly endorsed him by normalizing his authoritarianism." Anger about one dude stealing what we've all built can neutralize despair.

DOGE claims it "saved US $50B" Not sure if that's a one time or annual savings It's roughly $2.75 a week per American Not even enough for a small Starbucks latte 🤦🏻‍♂️ In the meantime, National Parks & museums have closed; VA & FAA employees have been fired; and people are dying overseas

Fuck the GOP. But pretty much equally, … fuck the Dems. Yeah. I just both sides it. A bunch of gutless cowards, the lot of em.

When will we see a massive stop-work strike by federal employees? Air traffic, trains, electricity, law enforcement, military, embassies, and all. Make people realize that federal government provides essential services.

“Not wavering” under the pressure of the White House actually is an achievement and one that’s worth praising. It’d be nice if other media outlets cared about journalism enough to stand alongside them.

Congratulations to both a corner of the left and a lot of folks in MSM who tied themselves up in knots over specific bits of evidence whether or not Trump is promoting Russia's interests. He always has. You don't need a pee tape or a dossier to see the plain facts.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.

If DOGE was reallly cutting government waste, wouldn’t the first bit to get rid of be Congress? No checks. No balances. No purse strings. No reason to exist.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

Allegory alert!

How have Dems not already written, produced, and ran ads using the chaos of FAA as symptomatic of what’s happening in all departments of government?

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

DOJ lawyers should go on a mass nationwide strike.

So this whole story arc ends with President Luigi or nah?

HINT: To Musk and Trump and cutting government waste, the “waste” is you.

But for real New York, what are we doing about this jackwad?

While it's great some Dems have gotten off the bench, the messaging is still atrocious. We need more like this @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Make em own it. Make them define “waste.” GOP thinks feeding starving kids is wasteful but helping the world’s richest man get richer is NOT wasteful …?

“These stories should concern all Americans because they are our family members, neighbors and friends. No American can be proud of a government that carries out change in this way.” The American Bar Association speaks out. Please read and share. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Yes. “People are doing things. You will meet them when YOU start doing things.” Lots of information and resources in this one. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

The “freespeechdon’ttreadonmeanticancelculture” crowd having a real field day here.

it is october 2023. drake just tied michael jackson in #1 hits. he worked so hard. he is so happy. whatever lays ahead, his future is bright.

“You were lied to and this makes you less safe” is not a f’ing hard point to make Dems. Everything ties back to that simple thing. It takes the blame off the voter. It puts it on Trump. Why is this hard @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ?

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social needs to use the leverage he has to fight the coup - we have two Dem leaders in BK but can they actually fight? www.cnn.com/2025/02/09/p...

Call to action: US national protest on Monday February 17 at your State Capitol or White House. Spread far and wide. End Impunity End Oligarchy End Autogenocide #3E #USprotests #eyesontheoval

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

They're trying to silence the media because they don't want you to know what they're doing.

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit. The Harris campaign should sue Fox and insist Fox release the unedited versions of all their many edited interviews with Trump.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
