Retired, avid gardener, enjoy doing all the boring things retired people do. Very concerned about the state of the world that my grandchildren will inherit. On Bluesky to get the real news!

To be clear, this now a massive cover up involving the President, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, and the GOP Congress.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no."
This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

I have a public library card for the first time in my life (embarrassing! I know) and I’m absolutely drunk on power.

President Trump seems to think he can suspend the laws of the United States, of international trade, and of economics.
The American Congress and US courts will decide for themselves how they will address these violations of Presidential powers. (1/3)

This is correct.
So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.
What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

I appear on @CNN often. And if saying this means my days at CNN are over, then fuck it. CNN, removing @Acosta.bsky.social from his am show is cowardly bullshit. Acosta is an independent, unafraid host. To demote him to appease the crybaby in the White House is pathetic. Shame on u CNN. Don’t do it.

Idk what it is, but this picture fascinates me. JFK just pulled up to Appalachia and said, “I want you to tell me what you need.” Call me crazy, because yes, times are different, but I see the vision. We need more of this!
