Good at overthinking the “describe yourself” thingies. I paint, knit, draw, and spend as much time as possible outside.

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans?

They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs?

What do the 20+ million think about that?

I see some of you are trying to get #PedoPatio trending.

It just isn’t right.

“.. Newsom is counting on the press corps to be .. oblivious to their double standard. .. He suggests: You notice my trolling? You notice it sounds like I’m a demented old man yelling at clouds? But not Trump? Why?”

Newsom shows how to get the media to see Trump’s weakness
If you sound like a demented old man, reporters want to know why.

Also, not to belabor the point, but extreme ChatGPT energy on that first sentence. Would be shocking if he's not using the plagiarism machine.

Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy had minor skin cancer surgery last month paid for by the taxpayers of Alaska. He relies on a form of Socialized medicine that he surely opposes.

Public broadcasting, which has just been gutted, is also a critical part of disaster warning and response, especially in remote and rural areas like Hawaii and Alaska.
For everyone paying attention to earthquake & tsunami info, a lot of funding for tsunami & earthquake monitoring comes from NOAA, but the fed gov is cutting their funding. Call your legislators, tell them to fund NOAA & USGS, who in turn funds regional network operators, like AK Earthquake Center

Here’s the grift behind Governor Dunleavy’s payday loan veto. Just like Trump there’s most often grift behind every decision Dunleavy makes.
"The bill has been opposed by several organizations representing payday lenders, including the Online Lenders Alliance, which this year paid a total of $73,000 to two powerful Alaska lobbyists, Miles Baker and Frank Bickford"

Alaska Gov. Dunleavy vetoes bipartisan bills related to school maintenance and payday loans
Lawmakers indicated they may try to override the vetoes when they reconvene.

Republicans expressing concerns about Medicaid cuts in the spending bill is akin to Tony Soprano expressing concerns to Dr. Melfi. No matter what they say, by the end of every episode, they are going to kill somebody.

I lived in LA for 30 years and commuted from Topanga to Downtown for work through El Niños, earthquakes, mudslides, protests and at least one actual riot. I know every possible surface street route. Hit me up

"She is basically saying it's time for civil war between the Trump administration and the people of Los Angeles and California and their elected leaders."
By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

If you silence free speech and trample the Constitution, you’re the lawless one.

“Just obeying orders” is not a defense.

This stand-alone item is inaccurate, @nytimes.com. In the widely viewed video Padilla loudly and clearly identifies himself from the beginning.

Once again, the Press Secretary is lying
Leavitt: "It's absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off of the presidency. This president was extremely successful before giving it all to serve our country publicly."
