I’m 69 and glad to be here. I love animals; I used to sleep with five chihuahuas under my covers. An introvert, recovering from the trauma of the election debacle. Enjoying the FAFO MAGATS!!

I find it bizarre that we managed to go through 44 Presidents in over 200 years without hearing the term "quid pro quo" related to them, and now we've had it at least twice with the same crooked fucking asshole.
So tired of this shit.

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?
Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo
Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.
You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.
Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

It's very peculiar that trump says he wants to root out corruption, but his Department of Justice is determined to get the corruption charges against corrupt Mayor Eric Adams dropped, so he can corruptly pursue a quid pro quo wit Adams.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
