Fashion and beauty writer but I imagine myself as a hard hitting political journo. Born and bred NYer. I love cats, dogs, and all critters. Won’t read sad or cruel animal stories. I vet and block. No profile, no posts = no follow.

I live in PA & called Fetterman’s office to register my disagreement w him. I voted for him. He’s been a disappointment. All PA voters who are unhappy with Fetterman’s decision to vote with Rs should call his office or write and politely let him know you disagree. www.fetterman.senate.gov/contact/

The silence from the always opinionated women on #theview speaks louder than if they’d spoken out against the removal of Jimmy Kimmel. I appreciate their position; I’m not sure I respect it. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, today, to sort out their thoughts & hoping they’ll share going fwd.

So cute! For the past several years, we’ve had a little toad that lived in our front flower bed. We would see him every summer and fall night, but we haven’t seen him this year yet. I keep looking. I miss his froggy presence.

The distractions, horrible as they are, are working. Let’s not forget the Trump-Jeffrey Epstein connection. Repeat it loudly and often: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Escape the news. ❤️ Project Runway returns tonight. My daughter is the Supervising Story Producer! Here’s how to watch: When it airs at 9, watch on Freeform. I think it’s free w basic cable. Or watch on Hulu or Disney+ later. (Not sure what time that means.) Enjoy!

I hate to be a downer but since when, in this administration, has the law mattered?

Multiple choice: when is it time to call in the National Guard? When violent insurrectionists storm and defile the Capitol, brutally attack police officers and chant about hanging the VP or when people gather to protest deportations without giving people due process under the laws of the US? Hm.

I’ve been reading that we’re “coming into a test of our Constitution,” i.e., the treatment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, DOGE actions, the defiance of court orders, retribution against who he considers political enemies. Haven’t we already failed this test? What are its limits? Congress, stop him!

Dear Dem lawmakers: This is a friendly reminder that Hillary Clinton was skewered by Rs for using a personal server for official emails. How about you treat Trump and his incompetent band of leaky lawmakers in kind? #butheremails

Melody L @melodylesser.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
Dear Dems: No matter what you are asked in an interview, pls answer with something like, “we must address the dangerous and incompetent security breach of Trump’s cabinet members.” And then proceed to do so. Every single time. Every single question. Please. Because, messaging is important.

It’s Equal Pay Day which, simply put, marks how far into the new year women have to work to earn what their male counterparts made the previous year. This roughly 3 month time frame is a generalization. Other factors that need to be considered are location, race, age, education, marital status.

I called Senator Fetterman’s office to implore him to vote no on the CR Heads up: there was no answer at the DC or Philly offices, but I got thru at another office. Please call. Fetterman said he’d vote yes w Schumer 😡https://www.fetterman.senate.gov/contact/

I’ve read and listened to Dems on both sides of the CR and, no, @schumer.senate.gov, I don’t agree with you. I implore you to vote against the CR. It’s our only strength to have the Rs own a gov’t shutdown. Do not acquiesce to Trump and musk. #resist

Interestingly, it’s the D leadership - the men - who seem lacking in the cajones department. Jasmine Crockett, AOC, and my rep, Madeleine Dean, to name but three D women, have shown that they have big, brass ones.

Yes, ur right, but then our elected Ds need to think creatively. Use social media to say Rs lie. That’s the overriding msg.They shld band together, hold rallies in large venues TOGETHER. Gather people & the media will cover it. I know, I dream. Sigh. But they must do something!

Melody L @melodylesser.bsky.social · 13/03/2025
And Dems need to show unity, get on message, and proclaim it’s the Rs fault loudly and often. Will they?

I’m no longer sure of what Dems believe. Can you please enlighten me? Why did members vote to censure Al Green? Why didn’t/don’t you present a united front? What is the messaging? Trump didn’t get a mandate, despite his claims of an overwhelming victory. We Ds are large in number. Speak to us!

Per CNN: “The US House of Representatives on Thursday censured Rep. Al Green for his protest during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress this week—a formal condemnation of the Texas Democrat’s actions.” Who remembers the penalty Boebert & MTG incurred after they disrupted Biden’s SOTU?
