I will never ever order anything from @WalMart .com again. Lied to over & over by their overseas CS. I’m out $500! more than my grocery budget! My spouse is a disabled combat veteran and we are on a limited, fixed income. Incident no. 2412 0904 4210 9720 000. I’ve been trying since 12/12! #walmart

The attempted funding freeze seems to have awakened the Democrats who have been taking a Power Nap since November. We are back and ready to fight! Go Team Blue!!

I’ll survive the Oligarchy but my heart breaks for those that won’t.

I’m a 59 yr old rancher in TX who is not a big fan of current country music and I seriously don’t get the criticism of Beyoncé’s NFL halftime performance. I thought it was perfection and better than any Super Bowl halftime that I can remember. 77 yr old spouse said the same. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s been a great 35th wedding anniversary on South Padre Island. We are heading home. New calves on the ground to meet. #ranchers

Boy are Republicans struggling right now. They're finding out that tariffs are actually taxes, Obamacare is actually the ACA, and that Project 2025 was actually the plan all along.

Canada's top military commander Jennie Carignan calls out the GOP for questioning women in combat: After 39 years as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify women's contribution to defense and service in their country...

So I made some Thanksgiving Dinners in a bag for my local food pantry box. Saw a lady with a wagon take them less than 10 minutes after I put them in. Each was Dinner for 2. I really hope she was sharing with those in need.

Thinking about the Thanksgiving shopping list I need to make before I get to the grocery at 7AM. I need to be sleeping. It’s a long day of cooking today.

There IS a left-wing agenda, and it’s to prioritize compassion over greed. Kindness isn't a limited resource.

The controversy is not merely that Matt Gaetz raped underaged girls.

The controversy is not even just that Donald Trump wants to make this sex predator attorney general.

The controversy is that the entire GOP is OK with that.

POTUS should release the FBI files on all of The Rapist’s nominees if he is going to forego the traditional vetting process. The American people deserve transparency. #draintheswamp
