If we burn, they burn with us. Middle-aged mom, recovering political junkie. Once kept up with the chaos, now I just keep up with carpool. Skeptical of elected felons, even more skeptical of the electorate.

My Southern California native mom randomly moved to Macon GA a few years ago and every time I visit the State Department building sign is in disarray and it’s a bit of a running joke but this time, they are demolishing the entire building 😬

California jungle primary means democrats really need to hurry and narrow the playing field but the way they took down Swalwell is wild! Sounds like a creep and I’m glad he won’t be our next governor.

Our favorite family time is attending concerts and last night we had a blast seeing my absolute favorite artist, Bruno Mars at Allegiant stadium in Vegas for the kickoff of his Romantic tour. I also scored tickets to the show in LA in October for my birthday and can’t wait to see him again!

My dad died in 2017 and he would have turned 71 this week on the 24th. I asked AI to show me what he’d look like at 71 and it literally generated a photo of Morgan Freeman 🤣. It eventually got it right.

If you are looking to try some delicious Mexican food in the Anahiem area, you gotta try my most favorite take out spot. El Patio on Lincoln and Magnolia. I’ve been enjoying their food for literally all my life. Making this post cuz I don’t feel like cooking and hope my husband sees it 🤣

"Previous estimates showed the US economy generated 584,000 jobs in 2025, the first year of Trump’s second term, which was deeply discouraging. Now, the picture is far worse: The newly revised, final data shows that the U.S. economy actually added only 181,000 jobs..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

A promised vote on the ACA? See, they can’t include the ACA without having to bring the House back into session - and they’d have to swear in Grijalva. That’s what this is all about. Protecting the Epstein files.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.
