Words fail.

Congrats to Trump’s new picks for top military posts for meeting the job description. You don’t have to say yes, you know.

Ugh 🤦

I did a parody song for tomorrows #svengoolie movie, War of the Gargantuas. I kind of like this song. See you at the movie party tomorrow night. youtu.be/b7WSpb5Ubyg

Okay, now I know why people stand in line in New Orleans for this King Cake. Lordy, it's the best King Cake I've ever tasted. No artificial flavoring, no preservative taste, no strong cinnamon. It's fresh and the frosting is killer! I got it for $25 at Fresh Market and it's huge! (Not $50 like some)

Defense One calls it a "Bloodbath." Hegseth: Joint Chief of Staff 4 Star Gen. Charles Brown is a "Black DEI hire." Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti -a female DEI hire. Hegseth is set to fire up to 61,000 Pentagon workers beginning next week. www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Heard a song from the 80s reference a "long distance call" and it occurred to me that this is a concept that no longer holds any emotional currency whatsoever

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Gov. Mills shows up! ❤️

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

🤔 Sounds familiar.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

This is what I was talking about last week.

My kids are here so I'm not going anywhere, but I'm also not taking any of this garbage without a fight!
