I absolutely loathe the @libertymutual.com commercial where the old man yells at the emu. We have too many bullies in the world already!

Twenty years ago, there was only 3 minutes between take-offs and landings at Reagan National. Seemed crazy to me then but after yet another near miss, I wonder what it is now?

@hirono.senate.gov Great speech- more people should remind everyone, he doesn't care. And Trump and his billionaire buddies don't care.

I'm sure this surprises no one. Jasmine Crockett calling out the hypocrisy of the White House

Do you think Trump and his family were able to cash in on shorts and then buy stock at their low point before he changed course on the tariffs today?

The gangster state breaks new ground. Trump’s not just pardoning corporate criminals. Now he’s pardoning criminal corporations.

Our esteemed senators - this one from Indiana. x.com/peoplefor/st...

OK, @thomtillis whatca going to do about this? Will our NC state reps. step up? I doubt it! Trump Administration Abruptly Cuts Billions From State Health Services www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/h...

What was dumber: including a journalist on a signal chat about your bomb plans or then calling that journalist “bottom scum” while he still had the screenshots available to publish as your colleagues were already committing perjury

Tell @thomtillis.bsky.social that RTI is cutting at least 177 jobs in NC due to cuts in USAID and NIH. Lots more jobs lost elsewhere in NC due to big cuts at Interior, SSA, you name it. Are you happy, Senators? Care to comment?

Can renaming the White House be far behind? wtop.com/dc/2025/03/t...

Why is no one talking about breaching the debt ceiling? Is that why DOGE is trying to reduce payroll with all the firings and contract cancelations? Someone needs to ask Lutnick.

Why aren't @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov and other Dems calling the tariffs the Trump Tax? It will raise the price of cars/trucks $4k to $12k. Please use and repeat- Trump Tax.

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

Vance spilled the beans today when he said Zelenskyy campaigned in Pennsylvania for the Donald's opponent. It's all about revenge. It's always revenge, the Ukrainian people be damned.

Is Bezos' move to restrict @washingtonpost.com opinion pages an effort to prove he's as cool as Musk and X?

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

Just watched NYRep.Josh Riley talk on @cnn about how the cuts are going to effect cancer research, nurses, veterans. That brings it down to the community. We need more of this talk, less about coups people don't understand @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov

Seal ad? Really, really weird. No idea what the product was! @superbowllix.bsky.social

Another deep wound inflicted against American medicine, science and health by Musk’s juvenile night crew of data thieves following the Project 2025 playbook, which Trump disavowed in the campaign.

Don’t mess with @ellenlweintraub.bsky.social

Musk has control of all our financial information (that's everyone's) and national security info. Six people from ages 19 to 24 did the data breach for him. Do any of them have top secret security clearances? Called all NC Tillis' offices but could only leave voice mail. Where us he?

Every company that has to raise its prices due to the tariff should tell their customers "it's the Trump tax."

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Full Access to Treasury’s Payments System www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

Just drove by the new development at the corner of Estes Dr and MLK in Chapel Hill. Such a monstrosity! Looks like something from a Soviet bloc nation. How did a progressive town like CH allow this? The design is terrible. This seems beyond the norm. @wchlchapelboro.bsky.social

Crossword of the day. Clue: Loathed. Answer: Abominated. What do you think they are referring to?

Very disappointed in Sen. Tom Tillis. He talked big but knuckled under on the Hegseth vote. We'll remember in 2026 when he's up for reelection. Go @roycooper.bsky.social!
