To hell w/decorum. Democrats need to start calling out their GOP colleagues for what they are - cowards and traitors. I want to see some righteous indignation from the Dems. Look ‘em straight in the eye (preferably in front of a TV camera) & tell them what you think. Stop being nice to traitors.

Not only that, he's just broken Verizon's contract with the FAA and given it to His company Starlink for the $2.4 Billion Dollars. That's only One of the contracts President Musk has awarded himself. The Co-President can do whatever the hell he wants. Musk purchased the American Presidency.

Oh if this were only real. With all the budget cuts in the National Parks service, maybe someone can sneak up there and do this! #Ukraine

I wish every elected official with any integrity remaining will now use the title “Russian Agent Donald Trump and President Musk” over & over & over again, ad nauseam. Hammer that message! Stop being nice, start using the power of ridicule. If Trump can repeat a lie, we can repeat the truth.

The Atlantic asked every GOP member of Congress two straightforward questions: Did Russia invade Ukraine? And is Putin a dictator? A few said yes; one responded with an interaction with a chatbot; most didn’t respond at all. theatln.tc/C9Sz9dk4

To my mind, today was a “Have you no shame, sir?” Moment that brought down Sen. Joseph McCarthy. The treatment of #Zelensky today was 100X worse. I feel so utterly ashamed and so utterly helpless. #Ukraine #IStandWithUkraine

@sanders.senate.gov @lincolnproject.us @klobuchar.senate.gov Until the Democrats start hooting and hollering in utter outrage and calling out their GOP colleagues as KGB agents, you aren’t getting a $.01 from me. Shout outrage from the rooftops. Our POTUS is a ‘fake and phony” American. #ukraine

I am convinced, Donald Trump and JDVance are KGB agents. Shame on them, shame on the GOP, what horrible, sickening show by our “leaders.”

A double-exposure of a single swallowtail butterfly (Papilio glaucus) prancing around in my garden. Although not native the Verbena bonariensis is a real butterfly magnet! #garden #butterflies #nature #pollinators

Since I’m new to #bluesky, thought I would introduce myself with a few photos. This is a farm house in Kent County, #Delaware so pretty with a light dusting of #snow. A little Wyeth-esque I thought. #Farm #agriculture
