I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

The president of the American Farm Bureau Federation …said that more than half of U.S. farms are losing money, threatening small towns and rural economies and court records show farm bankruptcies in the 12 mos. ending in June were up 56% from the previous year.

Direct quote from a fellow citizen, an ACA (ObamaCare) enrollee:
(She said)…”premium this year has been $495.32 for coverage for her and her husband. Without the credit in 2026, she was informed that it's increasing to $2,168.68.”
The GOP controls all branches of govt. This is on them.

Watch Trump talking about his parson of the “crypto guy.” The man is fucking demented. How does anyone with an IQ of more than double digits support this idiot? This country is done . It’s done.

I’ve disliked the whole “drunkest state in the Union” that gets laid on Wis. Tommy Thompson, 83, is thinking about running for Governor. One GOP candidate has dropped out after spending a time on porn sites & the other is a clerk in county government. Explains why we all drink so much.

I see Trump and his toadies are criticizing the Fed Chair for redecorating the fed offices. That’s rich from a guy that made the Oval Office look like a brothel. Haven’t seen that much fake gold since a guy tried to sell me a “Rolex” on Wacker in Chicago

In the No Shit category,here is a CNN headline for today:
“FEMA’s response to Texas flood slowed by Noem’s cost controls.”
When we have a government run by “money matters” instead “people matter” is anyone really shocked by this? This is not the America so many of us fought for so long ago

A lot of the worst things in the big stupid bill won't happen until after the midterms, on purpose. We have until then to redouble and triple down on our efforts to 1. hang this around the heads of every Trumpian Congressmember & 2. build structures to help each other survive it all.

In a time of boredom I watched the opening of SNL tonight (7/5/2025). What was impressive is that the Trump routine is EXACTLY how that asshole acts.

When asked by Terry Moran what the Declaration of Independence means, trump said:
“..exactly what it says, it's a declaration, it's a declaration of unity and love and respect and it means a lot and it's something very special to our country."
What an embarrassing answer even by Dumb Trump standards

Thanks for chickening out and supporting the Trump “big bill” that guts America. You talk tough but in the end you caved. So, a coward for Wisconsin

Story on ABC.com that convinces me we need the death penalty, for whomever is responsible for this:
“More than 100 dogs were rescued from an apparent puppy mill in a North Carolina home, where they were kept in "egregious conditions," according to a shelter.”

So @karinejean-pierre.bsky.social has left the Democratic Party apparently over the “betrayal by the party”. Did your sheltering of Joe’s condition constitute betrayal? I don’t know but looking forward to your version. I have come to distrust all press secretaries….

I never really thought that Banana Republic would apply to the USA but pop over to ABC News and look at the images of what the Moron POTUS has done to the Oval Office. It looks absolute garish. How embarrassing for America.

All you need to know about the radical right running the Wisconsin GOP-
“Wisconsin Republican delegates at their state convention approved a party resolution calling for the state to enforce an 1849 abortion law”
In case you don’t know, it means complete and total ban.
