Jack of all trades, linguist, wrong slightly more often than I'd like. Pro-nature, pro-humanity, anti-bully, anti-anyone-misusing-their power, anti-tapioca.

never been jealous of the ICC before
The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

I’m from a family of veterans. My dad was a Navy veteran. Both my grandfathers and many of my uncles served. Our state is home to almost 500,000 veterans who exemplify the best of our state.

Thank you for your service.

I think we are done with this now.
Automatic impeachment and lifetime ban from any position in government for failure to perform ones' duties in a timely manner has a certain ring to it.
Mike Johnson refused to swear in Adelita Grijalva for 7 weeks after she won her election by about 40 points. Mitch McConnell refused to give Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, even a hearing for most of a year. Sen. Tommy Tuberville blocked all military nominations for 10 months /

Thank you, Mr. President
Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. That’s the kind of courage we need right now.

A couple months back, I was curious as to how Bill Pulte was able to obtain Lisa Cook and Letitia James' mortgage documents. Today, the WSJ reports that he was actually under investigation for how he obtained them. www.wsj.com/finance/regu...

Give them a call, be polite, but remind them that people will lose healthcare, a lot of people, and there will be deaths as a result. And we vote them out hard ASAP.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

100% agree
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.

There is nothing an American president could do worse for his own people than starving the poor right before Thanksgiving.
