Imagine being the most powerful person in the world and spending your Sunday night furious that people are having fun in a language you don’t speak.

So now Dr. Oz urges people to take the measles vaccine after outbreaks and deaths. A little late, no? If they had kept the measles vaccine schedule in the first place, the outbreaks that caused illnesses, deaths, and resulting disabilities likely would not have happened.

Since Will Lewis, (publisher of the WaPo) is stepping down, who will Bezos and the Board install? Such a historically great news/invesigative reporting organization has fallen hard over the last several years, especially lately. As a former journalist, it really hurts to see the knee bending.

Trump has a fantasy of building a statue commemorating Columbus... I like the name Mark Ruffalo gave it.

Gone for just 20 hrs and so much more bad news abt the administration  reported. More corruption, gaslighting, & propaganda to cover up their wrongdoings. So glad there are whistleblowers, cell phone documentarians, reporters, & those speaking out. There’s no way I can keep up! How do you do it?

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

We pay these elected officials to represent us, and we expect them to actually read what they are voting for. Too late to regret their legislative votes later, after damage has been done.
Congressman Tom Suozzi (NY-03)--one of seven House Democrats to vote for additional ICE funding last week--now says he regrets his vote.

From Robin Snyder‘s Substack:
“It was never about the Second Amendment. It was never about ‘don’t tread on me.’ It was never about freedom. It was always about finding a way to dominate and subvert the Constitution and use any means necessary to stay in power.”

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

If you installed iOS 26.X on your iPhone and hate Liquid Glass, here’s a way to change most of it back to the old look. (I’m still on iOS 18.7, so I’m not sure if it works, but others say it does—let me know what you think). ⬇️

Ann Applebaum’s take on Trump’s letter (second grade level) and what it means for our EU allies is a good read. It’s of frightening situation for all of us. Check it out. (It’s a gift article.) ⬇️

I wonder what deplorable surprise is on deck for tomorrow? Every day is something new to try to keep us off track from the horrors already unleashed.

We do know the Epstein Files won’t be released.

After watching the thousands of videos of ICE behavior from Minnesota (and other locations), and reading numerous documents, I think the sole purpose of DHS and the whole Trump regime is to traumatize and hurt (even k*ll) as many people as possible. There is no other explanation.

Kim: I was having a conversation with someone within his administration, we were talking about something we disagreed with the president on. And they were just like, “Let’s just not talk about this and keep it quiet, and maybe he’ll forget about it.” Literally—someone on his own team was saying this

What are your plans for pushing back against the Trump regime? Are you picking one thing or working on multiple issues? What will have the most impact to change the trajectory? I read that it takes 3.5M people rebelling before anything will change. It’s so bad out there that it’s hard to focus.

If people don’t think Trump is unfit after listening to at the GOP Retreat, then something is so wrong. He’s the one making the final decisions on all military actions, and has the nuclear codes. The Heritage Foundation found a great puppet to carry out their foreign and domestic agendas.

Hegseth seeking to reduce Mark Kelly’s retirement pay and grade, and notated in Kelly’s military record, is vengeful and petty.
