dear Democratic senators who voted with Republicans to open the government based on a wing and a prayer: I have some oceanfront property in the Mojave Desert I’d like you to take a look at. It’s cheap. Y'all seem like the kind of people who would appreciate it.

I don’t know who to get it to, but I’m gonna make sure it’s seen by others.

Crawford County, Arkansas - consider yourself exposed. Spread this white cop on black hate like wildfire. White people can ignore their privilege or use it to stand against these animals. 1/2

I approve of this message.
On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

Still life with garbage.

I'd add that this is true anywhere, not merely in Chicago.

Never forget!

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

I've developed a lot of skills in my going on 79 years. The one I'm most adept at today is, apparently, sleep. I share the feedback from my Apple watch and the graphic it produces in my iPhone's Health app to ChatGPT and it analyzes how I slept the previous night. I've become an expert!

On this Veteran's Day, let's remember the words of General Mark Milley, now and forever.

A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

I've long said I'm NOT a Democrat because they're 2 conservative for me, though I have mostly voted for Dems because I don't want to throw my vote away & Rs are out of the question. Last Tues gave me some hope they were moving left, but Schumer & the 8 asshole senators have proven that won't happen.
November 10, 2025 at 7:48 PM
Fuck!
WTF, Chuck? You guys get stuff to make your lives better and we get fucked over. You're done if you cave.
November 10, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Absolutely!

Now and forever
Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

A fool and their money soon part …

Yay Miki!
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.
