Just a retired grandma trying to stay informed as our country is being set on fire. To escape the multiple daily dumpster fires I enjoy watching the deer, birds, squirrels, cats, raccoons, and opossums stopping by for a meal. It’s my happy place.

This action by Trump is the order of a dictator. Astonishing violation of the Constitution. What next? Where is the response of Congress? The judicial system?
The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Actually I think the first rule is to lie. Every chance you get.
The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.

This must be the most pro-corruption Administration in the history of the Republic.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:

He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.

He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.

He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.

Keep fighting.

Trump behavior today with Pres Zulensky was shameful. We have lost our standing with Europe and global allies. We are now an ally of Putin.

BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP AND ZELENSKY CANCEL PRESS CONFERENCE AFTER HOSTILE WH MEETING

Absolutely shocking, appalling and disgraceful behavior on the part of Trump and Vance

Pathetic. Shameful. Cowardly. Disgusting. Trump and JD Vance showed the world they will enthusiastically reward the aggression of dictators and don't think freedom is worth fighting for.

They are setting fire to Reagan's "City Upon A Hill."

Trump & Vance are disgusting PIGS rambling on about how Zelensky didn't thank them and how bad that is... THIS was a publicity stunt for King Trump to show Putin that he's a STRONGMAN -and on Putin's side. This was a planned public flogging of Zelensky. Pathetic.

After that public flogging, I'm even more embarrassed to be an American, and hope Ukraine pulverizes both Putin and Trump.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

It’s time to take back our country. Not only from this authoritarian nightmare, but also from the collaborators too insipid and weak and chickenshit — too skinless and boneless — to stand up for us.

The government may try to dictate what White House reporters write but it will not stop an independent press from doing its job.
Our colleagues at the @AP are the best in the business, total professionals and straight as they come. Since I started covering the White House in 1996, no president has punished a mainstay of the press pool to enforce his personal choice of what words they use in their stories.

It’s gonna be too little, too late. We need that asteroid NOW
At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years.

Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.
