I am a life-long Democrat trying to survive a second Trump term. Also a life-long Cowboys fan. I live with my daughter and grandson on a small farm with geese, chickens , horses, a dog and several cats. That's how I stay sane.

A procedural rule vote to advance the House GOP package of bills for the week just failed because a bipartisan group of Republicans and Dems sank an effort by Speaker Johnson to kill a plan to allow remote voting for lawmakers who become new parents.

Protesters picket London Tesla showroom on global anti-Musk day
Protesters picket London Tesla showroom on global anti-Musk day
Alarmed by the havoc the Tesla CEO has wreaked in the US, Britons and Americans are showing their displeasure Blaring car horns on the three-lane A40 in west London are nothing new. However, on Saturday, they weren’t aimed at other drivers for a change; instead it was Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, who was the target of their anger as part of the “Takedown Tesla” movement, which has spread from the United States. “It’s too overwhelming to do nothing,” said Louise Cobbett-Witten, who has family in the US. “There is real solace in coming together like this, everyone has to do something. We haven’t got a big strategy besides just standing on the side of the street, holding signs and screaming.” Continue reading...

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.
There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead. No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

These are good, friendly, decent Americans who are worried about the loss of their Medicaid, ACA healthcare, social security and Medicare - as well as Tяump & Musk crashing the economy and crippling their 401Ks.
Trump, Musk, Vance, RFK Jr and ALL Republicans are despised by all.

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter.

People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government.

And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!
