Because good government. Happy wife, former hockey mom, UW alum, proud #wiunion big sis. Yay Bucky, Packers, and Bruuuce. Ask for help if you need it and give help when you can. Don't forget that first part.

When YouTube puts an oldie that you've never seen (how have you never seen this?) in your algorithm and so you just have to share how awesomely adorable people are with this brilliant song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkKk...

I do, too!

#Heroes

Oh, so very true!

#Wisconsin and #GreenBayPackers have a long, storied and proud DEI tradition!

I like it.

Photoshopped?

Oof! Brian hit the nail on the head!

Where? Hopefully advising interested parties on 25th amdt.

So, does yesterday's DEI injunction mean UW and Milwaukee schools get their grant back? Or, because it wasn't a DEI program even though it was cited as one when the funding was cut, does yesterday's injunction not apply? Anyone? www.wpr.org/news/trump-c...

Call me crazy but maybe two men who fathered 17 children with 6 different women between them shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values!

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Folks, here’s a running short list of some of Trump’s terrible actions that are turning his voters & supporters away from him and the Republican GOP. We ALL need to dog-pile these issues, bull horn them, and remind all voters what a terrible choice he & his party was, and is! Support is eroding!

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

Wise man…

Did FDR elaborate? Yanno, give an idea or two of what to do with said small group of selfish men?

Me, too.

Can't believe trump is out here repeating the same actions with Ukraine that got him impeached in his first term after susan collins told us that he learned his lesson.

He nails it.

Newest sign of aging: including Alexa in the list of names I say when I can't remember which kid I'm calling.

lol, that's our house (except the cat is a dog).

Your taxes at work: incorrect information posted on government website.

Susan Rice on CNN right now. omigod I respect her so so much.

Social Security and Medicare "...for people who truly need it..." #shudder Who decides?

Donald Trump — The House resolution "implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it." The House plan slashes $880 billion from Medicaid—TRUMP OWNS THIS!!! Democrats need to speak out now—LOUDLY. Don’t Cut My Medicaid 📢

This is infuriating. Only one reporter showed up? Also Fitzgerald, one of Wisconsin's sneakiest legislators -- he's the one who called a midnight illegal meeting to pass Act 10 in Wisconsin -- ignored the urgency of the moment and patronized people every time he spoke.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

My Feb scrip cost $25 copay. It hasn't cost anything for the past three years.

Idiocracy was a documentary

Ha!

"This would be competely illegal." (worth repeating)

Lawfare Daily: DOGE’s Attack on the Treasury Department www.lawfaremedia.org/article/lawf...

Hypocrite says what?

Holy smokes, does this sound like good news or what?!

Trump can't do anything but golf for more than four hours. Staying loyal/doing the same thing for 40 years seems like a stretch.

The arrogance of this guy. He seems have completely forgotten for whom he works. And what in the actual fuck was that "Foghorn Leghorn" crack about?!

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

Literally, a government takeover by an unelected billionaire on his quest to becoming the world’s first trillionaire. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

From a hopeful person.

And by federal funding we mean my tax dollars and your tax dollars. IOW, American citizens are paying #Doge #Musk $40 million to do whatever it is they're doing. BTW, anyone know what exactly it is that they're doing?
