Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.
I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.
It makes far more sense to interdict them.

Tariffs making everything more expensive, Republicans shutting down the government, health care premiums set to skyrocket, demolishing the rule of law, a hateful mass deportation agenda.

That means:
It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.
Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.
“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

Tonight's clouds at sunset. I think the clouds here are just so cool, so much texture, like a painting. Weather in Western WA in the fall can be really interesting. About 5 minutes after I took this photo, it just poured rain.

Trump doesn’t like data. He wants investors, consumers, and everyone else to be in the dark, so he can lie without fear of factual contradiction. He can create even more of a fantasy world. He can pretend that he’s been wildly successful even when he’s been a terrible failure.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?
Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.
Be warned.
