One of our planet's great (pun intended) natural resources. Blessed to live close enough to enjoy Lake Michigan any day we wish to. Just crossed Lake Huron as well. Lake Superior is truly amazing to drive around. Let's keep them all healthy. We love #LakeOntario. #Canada

Is anyone going to talk about or do anything about the President of the United States suggesting a foreign nation demolish San Diego and LA? Anyone? Congress? Supremes? Psych hospital? Cabinet? GOP?

So true...and then add POTUS giving Iran permission to blow up LA and San Diego. He says it's just a "small price to pay." Plague and straight up treason--hell of a week so far. And it's Tuesday.

Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes. Far too many people will just shrug this off or find some way to justify it. But Trump is unwell, incoherent, and a danger to us all.

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

AI data centers are sucking up water and power. Industry PACs are spending millions to buy our elections. And AI is already being used to facilitate online scams, deny insurance claims, and price-gouge consumers. Sam Altman's response? We should "accept some bad things happening." Hello?

It's like saying McConnel has an unfortunate medical condition. That's not news. It's diminishing the facts to the point of being willfully misleading.
