It took the Russian govt 3 days to admit to the disaster at Chernobyl. Nothing to worry about, they said. We got this.
They were lying.
When people lose faith in their government, when they know they can no longer trust officials, the govt will fall. It may take some time, but it will fall.

Leqembi, a drug used to treat Alzheimers, is given bi-weekly by infusion. The most serious side effect is swelling or brain bleeds, necessitating MRIs before the start, then a week before the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 14th infusions. The infusions often cause bruising of the back of the hand.

It's all piling up on the orange felon. The Epstein files that will not go away. The East Wing turned to rubble. The quiet eloquence of Jack Smith's testimony. The debacle of renaming the Kennedy Center. The revenge crusade against all who displease him.
It's getting rickety. It's about to topple.

I think it was much more than grocery and housing prices that caused the Blue Wave on Tuesday.
It was the Epstein files, masked ICE agents, the teardown of the East Wing, cost of medical care, arrogance of Pam Bondi, idiocy of RJK Jr., refusal to fund medical research, the Great Gadsby party...

Someone snapped this picture of Rory Bourke and Anne Murray at the after-party, held at the Grand Ole Opry House this past Monday. She saw him in the crowd, came up to him and said "You got the next single!" The song is "Rest Easy in My Love," written by Rory Bourke, Charlie Black, and Bucky Jones.

The Orange Felon once called the White House a "real dump." I wonder, is it next to fall to the wrecking ball? Or will he be content to shred the constitution and destroy democracy?

Three hundred million dollars (projected cost of the DJT ballroom) divided by ninety thousand square feet means the new bldg will cost three thousand three hundred and thirty-three dollars per square foot. Is that possible?
Is my math off?
Or is someone getting a giant kickback?

This is the new $300,000,000 Jeffrey Epstein Ballroom that will soon dwarf the White House. The East Wing is history, as is the Jacqueline Kennedy Rose Garden.
Yes, that's three hundred million dollars. And counting.

That the very disturbed man living in the White House would post a video of himself wearing a crown and piloting a helicopter, dropping piles of feces on peaceful protestors is a measure of how low we have sunk.
Omg, how disgusting. How gross. How infantile. How sick.

To see thousands of protestors streaming down the hill from the TN State Capital brought tears to my eyes.This is our Boston Tea Party; this is when we say NO to kings, racists, Nazis, homophobes, misogynists, liars, & criminals.

Let's all get a costume, like those fun-loving Portlanders, and march on No Kings Day. Let them call us far-left radicals; they're hoping repetition of their lies will make us care less that we are losing our democracy to a tyrant. We can answer with brays, moos, quacks, neighs, meows, & woofs.

Judging from the sign and the flag on the back of this pickup, I'd say the driver is an Evangelical Christian who supports the Felon in the White house.
Guns don't kill people ... Really?
There's a wall in Heaven to keep Immigrants out. Really?

You don't have to read very far into Julie Brown's book before you hit Trump's name. It's on Page 32.
One of the tools Miami police used when they began to investigate Epstein was to comb through his garbage. They found names of clients and victims. And something else: letters from Trump.

According to the Washington Post, since Columbine, we're had 434 school shootings. In 2025 alone, there have been 44. We still have 4 months to go. How many more kids will be traumatized, and how many will die?
The Orange Felon might want to concentrate on that, rather than crime in blue cities.

If TACO wants CDC Director Susan Monarez out of her job, he has to do the firing himself, according to her lawyers. Because she was confirmed by the Senate, he can't just order one of his flunkies to do the job for him. TACO will have to put on his big boy pants and do it himself.

"Rest Easy (In My Love) is Anne Murray's new single.
Written by Rory Bourke, Charlie Black, and Bucky Jones, the song is one of "eleven, newly found, unreleased songs" on Anne's new album.
How thrilling, to have this song find its way out of some dark canister into the light.

I wore my "Free Palestine" pin to Cool Springs Toyota dealership earlier today. I got three compliments.
Yesterday it was the "Stop Genocide" pin. "I like you pin" said the guy checking out customers at Trader Joes.

@bsky.app Socialism, as it exists in most European countries and a ton of other enlightened places, includes universal healthcare, free higher education, strong labor protections, and generous welfare. It is NOT a slow slide toward Communism. Get a grip, Republicans.

@bsky.app Now that DJT is an adjudicated rapist, we might look at his trip down the golden escalator a bit differently. We know he habitually accuses others of what he is guilty of. So when he says Tim Walz is grossly incompetent, a clown and stupid, here's at you, Mr. Incompetent Stupid Clown.
