Donald Trump lying about Ukraine starting the war with Russia makes me ashamed to be an American. I have done a 2 man patrol at night through Fallujah to extract and intubated COVID patients long before a vaccine. I've killed people for America and I've saved people for America. I am ashamed.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Who are the Ottawa Senators? I split the Senators season into three segments. Segment 1: The mediocre start where they were 10-12-2 through Dec 1. Segment 2: The hot stretch where they were 8-1-0 from Dec 5 to 21. Segment 3: The recent slump where they are 1-5-1 since Dec 22.

Red state life. Over 20 years of Republican majority rule in Missouri means that three days after one snowstorm major roads are still not plowed and safe. MODOT says they are short 200 plow drivers. MO has lowest state employee pay in the country. These clowns can’t handle basic governance. #moleg

Journalism is a profession, and as such must adhere to the common requirements of a profession. To name two: -They adhere to a set of values & a code of ethics. -They hold fellow professionals to the standards of the profession. Thanks @anntelnaes.bsky.social for this.

As Veterans, we upheld our end of the social contract with this country. Now the GOP threatens to break theirs by targeting benefits we earned. To my fellow Vets and those who support us: stand up, speak out, and let them know our sacrifices won’t be ignored. #ProtectVeterans #CallToAction

So, a dude with an ISIS flag is immediately considered to be a member of ISIS, but when Elon Musk adopts multiple right-wing white nationalist symbols overnight for his name/avatar, there is media handwringing and bothsidesing over what these symbols mean.

Why is Missouri’s population declining? 30% of our schools run a 4-day week. We are dead last in starting teacher pay and state worker pay. 40% of our counties are maternity deserts. 50% of our counties are childcare deserts. Children can legally open carry guns. 22 years of a GOP supermajority.
