Liberal, educated, Jewish. Just this cantankerous, old guy who reads. After more than 20 years, I am still in the madness of love with the woman who married me and love the adult spawn that still rattles about our house at strange hours. Cat person.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Gay is running for Matt Gaetz‘s old seat, and could help us regain control of Congress. Help out. Pitch in! Phone bank! Contribute!

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

Sen. Padilla and I will be supporting Governor Newsom’s request for federal aid to recover and rebuild from the Eaton and Palisades fires. To deny it – or place conditions on it – would be to abandon people in their time of most need. People need help. We must act urgently.

Oh look, a piece of shit, domestic terrorist was arrested for assault and battery in public . . . Who could have predicted that?!?!?

Today I honor the late great Congressman John R. Lewis on what would have been his 85th birthday. If folks know about my clapbacks, understand this is my version of “Good Trouble.”

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Piece of shit, domestic terrorist arrested for public acts if assault and battery . . . Who would have thunk it possible?

STOP THE MAGA NAZI POLICE!

This week two GREAT examples of Democrats punching Trump in the face: 1. Ill Gov Pritzker to Trump: “We don’t have kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one” 2. NY Gov Hochul: "New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years. We sure as hell are not going to start now."

If Elon Musk REALLY cared about our Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security he could fund them by not taking a tax cut. If that man would just pay his fair share of taxes it could pay for everything he’s cut so far and more!!!

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Welcome to post-fact checking META. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Threads are all devolving into mired cesspools of wingnutter fucknuttery. At least, BlueSky and Substack seem sane.

Domestic terrorist arrested for assualt and battery.

The Murdoch-owned Post has more courage than congressional Republicans. Wow.

It is time for all good Americans to reread the Declaration of Independence to remind We the People exactly how real Americans deal with royalists & kings. Americans have no kings or gods in our government. We the People are the government. America is a Land of Law; of, for & by We the People.

Consider this: The Senate has just voted to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director in a narrow 51-47 majority. Trump nominee Chris Wray passed 92-5. Only Rand Paul voted against James Comey. Robert Mueller was confirmed 98-0. Patel is historically unqualified & we are not safe!
