All he really wants is a big pay-off from the wind industry. Then he’ll call off his dogs. — The White House has taken the extraordinary step of instructing a half-dozen agencies to draft plans to thwart the country’s offshore wind industry as it intensifies its governmentwide attack on it.@NYTimes

Getting NO CA redistricting mail on a daily basis now. Nada from supporters. Fingers crossed that Dems won’t be outplayed again.

Padilla: "What if I was outside a Home Depot, because I like to do some work around the house, not dressed in a suit. Would I be a target of ICE enforcement under Tom Homan? Probably. And it is just wrong."

He didn't stop the wars.
His economic "tariff" war continues.
And now he's put a match to the fuse of America's next Civil War. (Breaking News: California Sen. Alex Padilla handcuffed at Noem presser)

Hatred of the other. We see and hear it every day. Be an example to others of how love can right that wrong. “The problem in liberating humanity…is the undying recurrence of hatred of the other, century after century, in culture after culture and religion after religion.” - Franciscan Richard Rohr

Springsteen calls on "the righteous power of art, of music, of rock ‘n roll in dangerous times..In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 yrs is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.”🙏

Tx for the tight and right post as we clear the 4-month mark @hillaryclinton.bsky.social - “This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.”

Still waiting for Congress to act on the fact that it has gotten no *due process* from @TheManWhoWouldBeKing. Runover with advance warning they have been.

It’s only been 4 months. 😱 And America has gone from a world leader in democracy and help to other nations to a world leading insular pariah. How much worse can it get? I shudder. Let’s help where we can. And urge Dem leaders to start leading. Damn it.

@ukraine Putin is the master in this poker game and he knows Trump has a very short attention span. Called T’s hand and there was nothing but smoke and mirrors. And the US continues its downward spiral as a Putin pal and no longer a world leader. #impeach

Why is T drawing a line in the sand with Courts around a guy sent to El Salvador? Think about it. If the Administration wins none of us are safe.

We need Democrats in Congress to get up off their asses, stop it with the socials videos and do what Bernie says the younger generation should do - “Fight for justice.” Of course we all need to do it, but we pay our Representatives to fight for us in DC, not to surrender.

Now that “Hands Off” is a wrap, time for “Hands On! Democrats.” Do you think Dem leaders should stop their yapping and start impeaching? Or use other tools in their toolbox? They are getting their ass kicked - at our expense.

News teams - Time to check and see if we have the people with enough education to work on any new assembly/manufacturing lines. Manufacturing ain’t like in your Mom and Dad’s day where a high school diploma opened the door. MBA’s and advanced degrees needed.

My *elder* wife is at the poster board section of our local Michael's craft store yesterday. A similarly aged woman appears beside her, looking at the selections. Simultaneously - "Are you going to the protest tomorrow?" Yes! They'll have anti-Trump/Musk protest signs 4 today's demonstrations.

What do you think? I'm shocked that @nytimes 36 Hours Budapest did not have a single mention of protests against the president there, thousands in the streets, roads blocked in the city, etc. While it's not be a 24-7 thing, it is news and the news should be mentioned in travel stories.

Journalists - Now that the Signal war plans debacle has proved admin officials *lied,* it is time for journalists everywhere to use the words lie/lied/lying in their stories on all WH reporting. Practice saying it a few times to get the groove going. 😎

Has Google search been kicked to the side streets of the internet by AI? If you have seen a good story about how Google search is late - too late? - and how it happened please share a link. This seems like when telegraph companies missed the telephone. (Personally, I use Claude for search answers.)

Hey Democrats- STOP sending text pleas for $. You’ve been beaten into political pulp by a person who now is leading the dismantling of democracy, you have no strategy or media innovations to stop it and you are leaderless. No fight. No money.

The Dems have been so, so pathetic that I’d label it a *leadership recession.* Won’t be investing any more of my time, talent or treasure. There is just no return on them. For the first time in 50+ years of voting I’m considering becoming an Independent. You?
