"1" might be the loneliest number, but "25" is the safest. A so-called president suggesting the bombing of American cities, and therefore the killing of American citizens, is bat sh*t crazy. The republicans who enable this are no better.

Using a fiber optic cable and Distributed Acoustic Sensing, researchers were able to see where the pattern of raindrops hitting the ground turned into runoff flow, offering a potential way to monitor flash flooding. Read the story ➡️ loom.ly/-h-28zA

As Joanne Freeman @jbf1755.bsky.social reminds us regularly, we must "be strong and of good courage". Our times and our upcoming elections call for nothing less. If you can vote early, do!

Hey WI. If Maga Tom Tiffany, whose campaign has been lies lies and more lies, is proud of being a Republican, why are his signs blue instead of red???

The Kennedy Center belongs to we the people, like the White House. The Kennedy Center is a memorial to an assassinated president. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DEMOLISH IT,TO PUT THEIR NAME ON IT. No one had the right to demolish the White House. We have illegal tariffs, illegal war. I'm over it. VOTE

People who actually know how to both spell and identify DUMB have been saying all along that Democrats were not vandalizing the reflecting pool. To cover up a botched install, a LIE was concocted blaming the alleged Domestic Terrorists, aka Democrats. We're right about all the other things too.

I am ashamed of, and disgusted and enraged by, the participation of Senator Johnson (R-WI) in the release of Dr Fauci's personal diary. A morally bankrupt human, a stain on my state, and yet another blot on our nation. My shame and anger know no bounds, yet I am forced to pay his salary.

Oppositism. Not many people know that "opposite" can be an "ism". (Possibly even fewer than know that dumb has a b.) The Trump administration is rife with oppositism. How many opposites of what was promised can you list? My list is lengthy. I hope my Congress Critters enjoyed reading it!

I heard that Donald Trump's personal and unwise war in Iran has cost each American $1,100. That's in addition to all the programs that have been stolen from us to fund Trump's war, tax cuts, and vanity projects. I'd like my money refunded. I don't support this incredibly ridiculous illegal war.

It’s crazy they admitted it in court. The Trump administration acknowledged in a recent court filing that federal green energy grants canceled last year were selected for termination “solely” based on a state’s political affiliation.

I sincerely hope that the conservative majority on the "Supreme" Court feels a deep sense of pride in what they have created; a president who behaves like a crazy person, such as we witnessed Trump doing in Wisconsin last weekend. I hope his lackeys and enablers are proud as well. I'm mortified.
