Waiting for Bergman. MI-01 has been represented for past 9 yrs by an ex-Marine LtGen who is afraid to hold a town hall mtg. I’ve written asking to at least have a town hall mtg with veterans to address current military issues. I am waiting for a response that will not come. @calliebarr.bsky.social

There are 72 very quiet veterans in the current GOP congress. They all know that Mark Kelly spoke truth. Make the call, write a letter, especially if you’re a vet. Make them stand with Trump and Hegseth. Make them fucking squirm!

There are 72 veterans in the GOP Congress who have refused to disavow Trump’s unhinged Truth Social posts calling for the execution of 6 Democratic who restated laws that everyone in the military shd already know. 72 cowards whose silence is seditious. Write to them and demand they take a stand.

Evening Grosbeak, 2 females and a male.They are considered Vulnerable, a step away from Endangered. Haven’t seen one in 2.5 years but have been keeping a close watch for them. They were here for a few minutes, then gone. What a thrill.

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

Best Epstein file scenario: Trump resigns, is whisked away on his Qatari gift jet to Saudi Arabia where he’ll spend his loutish last days wallowing in a sand trap, just like Idi Amin.

Yes. Yes they fucking will.
They forgot January 6. They forgot "Covid will disappear" and "if there wasn't any testing there would be no cases." The "American people" have the memory of a goldfish.

From his gilded golf club, President Trump kept food off the tables of millions of children and families. The American people will not forget.

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

Dumponus Trump’s Assault on America
Last week: “Starve them.”
Yesterday: “Okay, only half starve them.”
Today: “Nah, fuck it. Starve them all. Mikey’s Prosperity Bible says it’s okay.”
When asked, Johnson mumbled: “Prosperity Bible? For gosh sakes, I don’t even have a checking account.”

#NOLASky Has anyone heard of a recent political shenanigan where people get letters from the Clerk of Court saying (paraphrased) we know you’ve convicted of a felony and should be in jail and you have 20 days to report to us?

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction.

Maria Corina Machado wins the Nobel Peace Prize. Donald Trump who tried to bully a win will no doubt publicly lose his mind and continue to repeatedly prove his unfitness for this award. “Losing” to a Venezuelan woman is an emasculating embarrassment for a racist misogynist. Thank you, Norway!

"If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."
