Here’s the money line in the acting AG’s letter firing the prosecutors who worked on the Trump case. Leadership does not trust you in “implementing the president’s agenda.” DOJ supports and defends the Constitution, not the president’s agenda.

"The less I had a life, the louder I was about being a Trump supporter."
Very moving @nhpr.bsky.social interview with a Jan 6er from Keene, NH, who rejected Trump’s pardon and sounds like he has grown tremendously in 4 years. “One thing I did not believe in was change before this experience…And now I believe change is necessary for survival.” www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
Keene man arrested for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 rejects Trump’s pardon
On his first day in office this week, President Donald Trump pardoned all rioters at the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Jason Riddle served time in jail for his participation in the 2021 riot.

Smoke inhalation — even for seconds - can impair consciousness.
To anyone in the immediate vicinity of this unprecedented fire in the nations most populous county, urgently heed the evacuation orders NOW.
Smoke is as dangerous as the flames behind them.

“Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him...We elected the most dangerous....human being that America has ever elected. And Kevin, you helped him."

By and large, the best thing you can do for any nonprofit in any field is to send them a check without any restrictions.
Do you trust the organization? Then let them allocate it. Don't make it hard.
If you don't trust an organization, then send it to another one you do.

Tis the season for helpful posts about what food shelves need so here's my advice:
If your kid's school is doing a Canned Food Drive or a movie theater is doing a special movie screening with a can of food in lieu of admission: give a can.
Otherwise: JUST GIVE MONEY.

Trump promised to lower costs, but his House Republican allies are now demanding he scrap Biden's crackdown on junk fees charged by banks.
These fees cost consumers over $3.5 billion every year.
Once again — the GOP isn't the party of working people.

While our fellow Michiganders are hunting for deer today, we hunted the beach. Didn't have to try to hard to get seven balloons, an IKEA bag, a 2.5 gallon container, and a plethora of plastic detritus including shotgun waddings, cigar tips, etc. from less than a half mile of Lake Michigan beach.
