Writing, reading, cooking, and a morning walk. For decades I have struggled with the imperative to be informed and to protect my wellbeing. Still I continue to read the news, though it’s much more difficult now. Progressives Dem. NOT RESPONDING TO DMs.

I’ve been saying this for a couple of years now. The French get it. Several other countries have done it in the past few years. So why don’t we?🤔

Under US military law, the president must approve an execution by firing squad. Trump signed off on Hegseth’s recommendation They’re both dispicable.

This isn’t true. If the Dems take control of both the House & Senate, they cannot imprison Trump. Impeaching a president is easy, a simple majority in the House. Convicting in the Senate is virtually impossible, a two-thirds majority needed and no party in modern times has had that kind of majority.

The sitting president of the United States just stood before a “crowd” of his supporters & suggested Iran “take out” two American cities, adding that it would be a “small price to pay”, and somehow that’s not the lead story on every newscast this morning. Not even in the top 5.

Republicans cut $1 trillion from Medicaid. They handed billionaires a $3.7 trillion tax break. 11.8+ million Americans lose healthcare. The top 1% gets richer… That is the SCAM. Get it, NOW?! Republicans. Do. This. Every. Time. 😎✨

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

I was notified today that I now have a Wikipedia page. Obviously, I checked it out. There was only one entry: “Yes, Dale Rominger did exist.” I am, of course, very excited to have a Wikipedia page — what an honor. However, I did find the past tense slightly disconcerting.

Tech bros in the AI industry tell us that what they’re creating might kill us all but that they can’t stop creating it. There’s so much money, prestige, power at stake, they just can’t stop. The only powers that can stop them, or at least get them to pause, are governments and they love tech bros.

Trump said if the Republicans remain control of the House and Senate after the midterms, everyone will get $5000. That means the federal government will pay out one trillion seven hundred forty-five billion dollars to buy the election. What an ass.

I find it interesting that on social media the word fuck is always spelled f_ck. Everyone knows that f_ck means fuck. Then it dawned on me. The letter u is deeply offensive to people and who wants to offend people? I just didn’t know. So for now on I will always spell fuck f_ck. The f_ture is secure

Texans check your voter registration, especially those in Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties. From the article: Suspended voter registrations span the whole state, but these Blue/Blue leaning counties are targets: Dallas: +129,000 Collin: 56,000 Denton: 56,000 Tarrant: + 73,000

Texas Has Suspended More Than 1 Million Voters Ahead of Senate Race
If you’re one of the people who had their voter registration suspended, there’s still time to fix it.

At the 100 lowest-paying major corporations — including Walmart, DoorDash, and Amazon — CEO pay averaged $17.5M in 2025. Median worker pay was just $36,571, a ratio of 614 to 1. Those same 100 companies spent $108.6B on stock buybacks last year. How can anyone defend this?

The United States is being run by a kleptocratic junta. This November is no time to stay home throwing a political hissy fit because you didn’t get your ideal candidate — guess what, there are no ideal candidates. This is not just about you. It’s also about the common good. Please vote Blue.
