So Trump has decided he can label everything he wants as a national security necessity: his ballroom, his arch, his banning of journalists and a free press. Don't doubt that he will try to undermine or even stop midterm voting as a national security risk. Note: It's all a lie.

Sixty years ago on August 25th I lost my second oldest brother, Joey, to a pituitary tumor. The 1965/1966 Patriots team came to our house (we lived above our funeral home) and donated a signed winning game ball to him. My 4th brother still has it. I had thought it lost.

Every news story must address this. And in 6 weeks, “we can be the adults in the room. We can perform an intervention. We can state loudly & clearly there’s a psychiatric emergency and we need responsible leaders who will use their power to lessen the danger.” www.americaamerica.news/p/america-we...

Trump’s sweaty desperation was on full display in Dallas. I’ll give you $5k if we win, this criminal conman said. “Cheat like hell,” this enemy of democracy said. What pleasure it will be when this poisonous creature is gone.

After my fall and back injury, I was told to keep up with my normal activities as best as possible. So, besides making soap, gardening, attending the summer concert series, and vacation pet sitting for several neighbors, I also made 4 throw sized quilts. I start PT in 3 weeks.

On Sunday, Trump posted an AI video that showed explosions rip across an oil field on Kharg Island. Kharg Island is real. The war is real. The video wasn't. Here's why that scares me, as the first sitting GOP congressman to call for the 25th Amendment in 2021. (Link below)

Genuine healthcare leaders don’t wait for someone to die before deciding a disease matters Pneumonia matters. Encephalitis matters. Hospitalizations matter. A child struggling to breathe matters 170 hospitalizations, 3000 cases. No matter the spin, an abject failure for the world’s richest nation

` 60+ Cherry Trees were cut down in DC to make way for a golf course for Trump. This act violated a court order. They did it anyway because the law doesn’t apply to this administration. These trees were gifted to the American people by Japan in 1912. More destruction by a criminal government.

Republicans want to build a commission so they can sneak in benefit cuts without taking responsibility for them. They have no legislation; Democrats do. We could fix Social Security now, but Republicans want to pretend cuts are presented by a “commission.”

ronald reagan truly removed the definition and meaning of a 'society' from the republican party. He did it surgically, with great precision, and eliminated any residual shards of empathy that happened to be in the way. This is the 'socialism' the gop is shitting themselves about.

As I said repeatedly during Trump 1.0, Trump sees the U.S. Treasury as his personal piggy bank. But back then, he couldn’t find a way to siphon it to himself. This time around, he has: shakedowns, crypto, and the slush fund. With the added bonus of paying off his own shadow army.

There are three big problems for Blanche with crooked Trump deal he incubated: (1) the slush fund for cop-beaters and MAGA-loons, (2) the Trump family tax fraud amnesty scam, and (3) they pulled it off through collusion and possible “fraud on the court.”

They claim they're saving tax payer money from being wasted on clean energy projects, but of 600 new energy grants from Biden's IRA, only 284 were cancelled. Projects that help red states were allowed to continue. Only Dem states are getting shafted. If you voted for Harris, no clean energy for you.

It was a beautiful evening at the Marina for the free concert series on the dock. Tonight we were entertained by Little Lies, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band. They pack the house every summer. There were easily 2 thousand there on the docks, building decks and the boats in the Marina. Always fun.
