These foolish cowards capitulated. How could anyone with even a single working synapse believe this admin will bargain in good faith? None of them should ever receive a Democrat, or thinking person's vote again. They have earned nothing but infamy, disdain, and disgrace for this failure.

They don't care, and we've known about it so long, pro life is the stuff of Orwell. Atrocious indeed
If they don't care about feeding hungry kids that are already here, stop calling them pro-life.
Cutting SNAP benefits is atrocious.

A while back I posted our, yet to be adopted by, kittens, here they are now at 12 weeks old! Harry (King Harald) and Odin. In the image with both Harry is facing camera. And Odin is facing camera in the image with Leo our 3y/o. All are Norwegian Forest Cats #cats

"In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95%" So sad, I cannot imagine how traumatising it must be to lose a multi-generation family farm. I apologise if this seems like piling on, but most "farm states" vote for the folks whose policies make it happen and hurt worse

Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

Mr Elias is one of the heroes of this miserable epoch and has my gratitude. I wish the dem leadership had his moxie.
My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!

Schumer and all the rest of the Vichy democrats will go down in history, if a free state survives for history to be written, in much the same way as Laval, Pétain, and all those whose cowardice and avorice cost them their nation.

Great stuff indeed, 🦧 meets reality!
People confront Trump at a DC restaurant. He smiles at the camera as they chant “Free DC, free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our time.”
Trump’s masked agents have snatched residents & he’s unconditionally backed Israel’s genocide of Gaza.
Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and JD Vance seen alongside.

Let me suggest that if I have tanks invade my city, that if the courts declare me a second-class citizen, that if masked men abduct my neighbors, and I go to you, my rep, and say “help me fight my persecutors,” and you say “shush, talk about healthcare subsidies,” you, too, are my persecutor

I am feeling bad because I ragged on texas when the thing I was referencing was in Tennessee. So here is the state bird of Texas, the Northern Mockingbird, looking like he's mocking me for my error! #birds

Can we staple these words to the collar of every dem leader in both houses please? And pass out copies to the rest. I am thinking a tee shirt with these words and a picture of the statue of soldiers at Iwo Jima, or any other symbol of victory over fascism, would sell

If there is any chance this would work, and they would have to courage to do it, it is a slam dunk positive. Injustice delayed is injustice denied after all. The Roberts court 6 is second only to 🦧 himself in the pantheon of ignominy history will build about these times.

White Crowned Pigeon seen at the nearby pond. I grew up in NY where city pigeons (Rock Doves) were considered rats with wings and a nuisance but the White Crowned is looked upon quite favourably here. John James Audubon loved them, his watercolours in "Birds of America"(1827) made them famous #birds

Been distracted by the fall of democracy back in the states so haven't posted pics, here's an American who came for vacation last december. She's an American Kestrel, the smallest raptor in America, who landed in the tree next to our house maybe looking for the small lizards she preys upon. #birds

I stand with DC and against fascism wherever it appears.
Where do you stand?
You can want solutions for the unhoused, you can want safer cities, but you can also be dead set against federalizing them and against military occupation.
I stand with DC!
