I live in the real world.
Unlike mainstream media, I will not take a pathological liar at his word.
Or trust a career criminal to uphold our laws.
Or expect a notorious conman to do right by the people.
Or delude myself into thinking he’ll ever be anything but what he is.

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.

My immediate thoughts on the most monstrous, immoral piece of legislation I’ve ever voted on in the Senate.
But I’m not done fighting. I know you aren’t either.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Sen. Durbin does what Bluesky demands, and instead of praise/thanks he gets dunked on more. It’s the way of (this tiny corner) of the world.
But don’t forget: he invented the whole notion of Dreamers/DACA, and (I just found out!) is the person responsible for banning smoking in all public spaces.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.
So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.
So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…
There would be bipartisan calls for investigations
Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion
Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day
Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They are vital members of our community. They make our government actually work for people. Remember this.
A fired national park ranger lost his dream job. He says the public is losing more
Brian Gibbs was an environmental educator at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa. His job was among those nixed by the Trump administration as it pushes to shrink federal spending.

ATTN: it might be a good idea to freeze your credit with all three agencies now that Musk has all your info. I froze mine long ago and it’s pretty easy to unfreeze temporarily if you need to.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

President elect SissyPants isn't moving his inauguration indoors because of the cold weather.
It's because his fragile ego can't handle meager crowds...or wind messing up that ferret glued to his head.

For me, nobody epitomizes this quote better than Jimmy Carter.
Rest in peace, good Sir.
May your character, compassion and deeds inspire generations to understand the true meaning of a life well lived.

To honor one of the most compassionate Americans we've ever known, consider an act of kindness today, for a loved one or even a stranger, however small.
Be the reason someone feels seen today. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word or a sincere gesture.
It will make Jimmy smile.
