Call me crazy, but can't Democrats issue articles of impeachment for Trump & his entire cabinet for the misuse of funds allocated by Congress? Each of them has diverted funds for vanity & corruption. Easy to prove, easy for the public to understand. KISS principle applies.

So the network reporters from the only network proven to have lied about the 2020 election remain in the White House press area while the honest ones are expelled. Only to Trump does this make sense.

I really hate saying this, but it appears all the $ Repubs are pouring into senate races is swaying some voters. That tells me is that Republicans are both stupid & deplorable. Stupid to accept political advertising as enough basis to choose a candidate & deplorable since the beginning of Trump.

When I see a drop of 500+points in the Dow, I wonder if this is the one that starts the coming free fall. So far, the wealthy investors keep propping each other up to keep their paper wealth intact. At some point, the misery imposed by the top 1% on the rest of us reaches them. The tumbrils await.

How times have changed. Now my lottery fever dream leans towards having my own greenhouse where I could grow lettuce, vegetables, & fruit trees instead of trusting food from outside my control to be safe. Of course that dream comes with a full-time botanist & gardeners for perfect results.

If you need to ask why many rely on the internet as news sources, today's violent attack on Amy Cton, candidate for Ohio Governor, check out how long it took for even a banner headline to make it to the screen on CNN. Meanwhile, what I assume is a repeat of a weekday MSNOW show airs uninterrupted.

Why has no one sued to remove the current Board of the Kennedy Center for breach of duty? The decisions made are clearly against the interest and founding documents. Get them off the Board & then sue for monetary damages. Financial documents will clearly show how they wrecked the place.

So Cong. Jeffries, as yet another private citizen who is similar to Kushner except I am not rich, am not part of a crime family, & I don't have access to foreign government funds, may I assume you will meet with me to discuss the affordability crisis if I so request? Send me a DM, if so.

I sure am a failure at understanding the stock market. One would think the words & actions of Canadian PM Carney would have a severe negative impact, but so far it's just another day on the rollercoaster. My theory is the markets are so corrupt & controlled by the 1%, it's just a game.

I feel so awful for the people who actually live in DC. Their streets were blocked, the air polluted, & their life interrupted for a spectacle for mostly to MAGA fans from other states. And while CNN minimizes the disruption,anyone who has lived in a Grand Prix city knows it's a week or more of pain

Baltcate @baltcate.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Is someone purposely sabotaging MSNOW? I don't quite get why they have assigned hosts if they aren't going to actually host the shows on a regular basis. Most businesses stagger vacation times & don't allow time off in the next week after vacation. And never a permanent sub. Just random others.

Just listened to Peter Baker interview Byron Donalds, who will be the Republican candidate for Florida Governor. Masterful. Called him out appropriately, firmly, & accurately on every lie he tried to tell. He's a great addition to MSNOW.

Well, my brain is finally acknowledging how awful things might get in the US. Spent last night researching what I need for Canadian citizenship. Already know I qualify for Irish citizenship as my brother got his years ago. But at my age, Ireland seems too far to go. Always did like skiing in Canada.

Yesterday I just heard a few minutes of the Trump rally, because that's all I can stand. Cannot decide which was more disturbing: The background of uniformed LEOs behind him or his self-incriminating words about young women in his White House. The first is terrifying & the second, really creepy.

I love how often I am called a Communist on social media platforms. I don't want government ownership of private business, unlike our currentPresident. I just promote a no billionaires tax policy along with an antitrust outlook. I subscribe to a liberal platform in many instances, but not always.

For those who are better at politics than I: Should El-Sayed cut back on national TV show appearances & just do Michigan ones? He's great on the shows & very good at getting his point across. But does he risk a backlash from voters who fear he's less about Michigan than the national stage?

My husband &I just had a discussion about how there are so many adorable cat & dog pictures on social media that it has to be a targeted means of making people want to adopt a pet. Even though we aren't able to take care of a cat or dog, we talk about it constantly.

So call me crazy, but SpaceX outperforming low expectations? Who is actually guaranteeing the numbers? I just cannot explain the market now. To me, with the volatility, it's just a game of tag among billionaires.

@beatwithari.bsky.social Ari, you can hang with the greatest musicians & poets of our current era, but making us listen to James Carville negates any "coolness" you seek to acquire. Turning to NPR as I write. Carville is just another old white guy Democratic consultant who hasn't a clue anymore.

Why did so much of the news decide that live coverage of a deceased Southern Senator's funeral was needed. Not my Senator. And frankly, his traitorous later years make it seem like his life was full of sacrifice & patriotism. Once he cozied up to Trump (no on impeachment), he should have quit.

In the produce section at Publix today, Iceberg lettuce, 2 for $4. No takers. No sign saying where it's sourced from. When people don't trust lettuce from Publix, we definitely have a problem. And yes, I know politics of Publix,but they have better produce than any of our local farm stands right now

If all the news ran before & after pictures of the White House as the lead story for a week straight, just maybe someone would stop what is a slow destruction of the "People's House." The quick close-ups once a month or so isn't conveying the scope of Trump's mess nor its potential permanence.

Been thing about how Trump's Save Act will keep so many women from voting. The only silver lining is I suspect a large number of MAGA women & older Republican women don't have passports or the required paperwork. That may be the only thing that keeps Republican Senators from passing it.

This is capitalism.Today we were told our facility is closing Friday at 5pm. The work is moving to headquarters. Small company & this is not a surprise. However, we will be paid through then. But after almost 10 years there, PT, no severance. Most there have more seniority & are FT.Also no severance

Hegseth & the rest are trying to convince the Senate that we won't have a country if we don't give the Defense Dept $1.5. It will probably work. Why can't we be equally persuasive that without funding for social programs we also won't have a country? That's the question that needs answering.

Can't help but wonder what would be said about a Democratic President who attended a sporting event that doesn't even have a US team playing, while the breaking news is about the deaths of more servicemen in a war that is both unpopular & illegal. Meanwhile, Congress fiddles while our world burns.

So, we get a press release & a photo of McConnell & we move on to the next topic? I don't care if it's real or staged, there needs to be a way a governor or member of the opposite party in Congress can meet with an absent due to illness Senator or Congressperson. Yes, trust nothing is our normal.

So, ICE is murdering someone each day now? And what is the response from our so-called Dem leadership in Congress? Sternly worded letters? Statements that this needs to stop? How about halting business as usual? How about a filibuster every day? If you have no solutions, it's time to resign.

Sometimes I wonder if the Democratic Party hasn't taken its Irish-American roots too seriously. We never forget a slight or misstep, we are slow to change, & spin endless tales of before times. This is me saying Graham Platner deserves no more mention or explanations. Time to move forward.

Given the contempt of judicial decisions by the Trump administration & the oligarchs, isn't it time for the "regular" people to always first refuse as well before complying? That way we continue to tell judges we see what's actually an imbalanced system?

Our hijacked 250th is yet another thing that proves the rule: ETTD. I made up my mind a while ago to fly the Flag, sing our anthem, and pledge my allegiance even though for a while, I believed normal patriotic symbols had been co-opted by MAGA. I will celebrate despite the grim atmosphere.

For those of us who live in Florida or other states with a Publix grocery store, they are continuing down the path towards being un-American. This week, the most patriotic week we have, the featured pub sub is not the Chicken Tender Sub. So sad to see their slide. /s (kind of)

For many years I went to the Capitol 4th celebration concert. Eventually they increased security, banning most creature comforts to support a long, hot day so I quit going.
