So fun to watch BBC. Discussing the Iran war and Trump's latest declaration that both sides want peace + a peace deal is close. The expert: "We must be careful with Trump's statements which change every day/hour, and often have no connection to reality." Embarrassing.

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...

So some of us, like AOC, Bernie, Khanna, Stansbury...are called the supposedly pejorative term "Progressive". I suggest, since are being pulled unwillingly back to the days of overt racism, Jim Crow, misogynism, that we call GOP/Maga folks as "regressive". Cuz they are.

Threatening to order the U.S military to conduct war crimes and genocide is a high crime. Full stop...NOW! Congress must impeach NOW! Congress does not get to look away. You do not get to insulate yourself from responsibility. The mechanism for accountability is impeachment. THIS IS THE JOB.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

"Look, all of their leaders are dead. As far as we know. But they’re all dead. We don’t know who we’re dealing with. We knocked out the first group. Then the second group met, 88, met to pick the leader because the first group is all dead. Then the second group got knocked out. They’re all dead."

Last week, we hired a local company to clear the ice/now off our roof. They sent two young Hispanic men, who did an amazing job and were wonderful. When I called up to one young man that I was happy to see how quickly he was removing ICE, we all had a big laugh. Fists raised, we yelled "ICE out!"
