The choice is simple for #Trump: #sleep or another screed on #LiesAntiSocial. We all know what he chooses. And good! The more Trumpian flickering of eyelids, the more nodding off, the better.

Russell Vought, given his power and influence over Trump - think #co-president - is one of many who definitely should be held to account. Encouraging to see signs of a moribund Congress finally ... finally ... finally stirring to some life and, with the boat fiasco, on both sides of the aisle.

Many ❓❓have not been definitively answered about Trump/DoD's process - if one can call it that - for determining whether the victims of these US attacks really are terrorists, as defined by law; whether the boats are carrying drugs and, if so, are they even bound for the US❓

Given recent #WSJ reporting, a truer headline would be "Envoy Witkoff, allegedly with money at stake in peace talks, arrives in Moscow."

Damn! I hope the provost doesn't have many tasks other than policing of course materials bc s/he is going to be seriously busy with that! I knew they liked #Trump in Texas, but this is ridiculous and disturbing.

You captured her! Beautiful!

Agreed. The problem is that #Trump doesn't know the meaning of the word "responsibility.$

Love it! To the point, though #Columbo will soon learn that asking #Trump to make sense of anything is a futile endeavor!

Good luck! Keep fighting the good fight - and do like Blue: take a nap or two! Thanks for all you do!

Many years from now, assuming humans still inhabit this earth, there may be a new industry born: the reclamation of once-natural areas that we, in our greed and/or ignorance paved or built over. We humans, who are of nature, will one day feel its loss to our bones.

Interesting how #Trump and #Hegseth are both denying knowledge of any order to fire on the two surviving crew members. They are, in effect, throwing the involved US military personnel under the bus. #CutandRun, that's their leadership style.

Thank you, Senator. That well sums up the supremely unfair disparity currently baked into our economy. Thank you for your service and work!

That's a pretty clear division of labor!

Private equity owns a big share of the US economy. Like a preying mantis, it and its players constitute a silent threat that is downgrading the quality of life for the vulnerable in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, mobile home parks.

Thank you, Rep. Pocan! A succinct view of both the lunacy of our current system for those younger than 65 and the sanity of extending Medicare to all ages. Medicare works!

We're at an even lower ebb after the #SpeakeroftheHouse refused citizens in AZ their Constitutionally-mandated right to representation for close to 2 months! If it was to put off the vote on releasing the #Epsteinfiles, well #SneakeroftheHouse is all I have to say.

Write/call your representative in the House. Keep the pressure on! This is Democracy+Constitution101: elected representatives need to be seated or else the voice of the people is quashed. House.gov website. You surely have 3 minutes, right?

Serving up the #Epsteinfiles for Thanksgiving would take the stuffing out of #Trump for sure!
