Just for today, I'm not watching a damn thing in DC. It's all about Philly today.

Yes, Buddy. THIS is what we need right now. We are living in the dumbest times.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

I can safely report that my Gen X white folk contingent for the most part entirely missed the point and genius of the halftime show. That is all.

I called on Secretary Bessent to answer why and how he gave Elon Musk and his cronies permission to access government payment systems. The response back raises more questions than answers.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

I really hope Democratic lawmakers took notice of the actions of Sen. Schatz, Sen. Kim, and others today and observed how quickly they were celebrated by millions of voters. This is not about getting the response 100% right or knowing exactly what the plan should be. It's about making an effort.

Here is the non-paywalled access to Wireds great reporting on the kids hacking our government, to get money - for what? Who knows. Meanwhile Republicans shrug because while they have the power to stop it, they lack any morals and character.

"Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation," she said. "I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative." www.bbc.com/news/article...

I could hear my husband muttering that SOMEONE must have moved a thing (we are empty nesters). I yelled down "Do you want me to come find it in the place you put it?" Silence. Then, "Not yet." Choices between needing the thing and being wrong were being made. Is it wrong that this amuses me?

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

You know, at this point, they HAVE to be thinking 25th amendment on day 1 and none of these stand, right? Even the most MAGA of them can’t possibly think this is good (she tells herself so she doesn’t go nuts).

Ya know, caring for a 90 year old is harder than caring for infant twins sometimes. Just throwing it out there.

This is a great listen/watch. Sam Harris has some solid insight into what went wrong and how to move forward. You'll need an open mind and a willingness to look inward.

Trump's team is in "preliminary discussions about making significant changes to Medicaid, food stamps & other federal safety net programs to offset the enormous cost of extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts next year.” Medicaid, food stamps are now on the chopping block to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

We have some right-leaning in the fam. My 90 year old mom just had me sent a text that said “From Mom: No politics at dinner. I don’t know how you voted and don’t want to know. I’d hate to die disappointed in you.” Sigh.
