I would rather be in my woods right now with my goats and dogs.

1/30/2025 - I'm calling on Trump to step down as President for the many catastrophic failures he's already caused during his current term.

Back in the 1980's, A&W tried to add a third (1/3) pound burger to compete with McDonald's popular quarter (1/4) pounder. It failed they found because so many people thought that 1/3 was less than 1/4.

And that helps me understand how/why people voted for Trump.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin.

If workers stand together, they will win.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

Why is Trump honoring J6 rioter Ashli Babbitt and not Capital Police Officer Brian Sicknick — both lost their lives:

Babbitt attacking The Capitol.

Sicknick protecting The Capitol.

Can anyone explain?

Trump will be giving military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt, the J6 insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol with a violent mob. He is also giving her family $5 million in taxpayer dollars.

Fallen Capital Police officer Brian Sicknick, who lost his life trying to protect the Capitol, gets NOTHING!

"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
Ashli Babbitt Already Got What She Deserved
She doesn't deserve full military honors.

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines.

The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.

Vaccines save lives. Period.

Garcia: What we got was complete bullshit. We demanded the full Epstein files, and that’s not what was sent over. The White House cover-up clearly continues. What they sent us was 33,000 pages of documents that have already been in the public domain.
