Three years ago this terrified dog arrived at our home. Since then we’ve been on a long and often difficult journey to make her feel safe with us and there’s more to do but we’re so glad that #sophiefromromania came into our lives

Our street had a great little carols and mince pie party where #sophiefromromania was invited to be the celebrity turning on some Christmas lights. I had to take over as she was a bit shy but she did accept a treat from a fan..

Michael Fanone: "When it comes to people like Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi, Trump hired clowns. And when you hire clowns, expect a circus…I think every American should see what's happening and be terrified that these people are running this country — I know I am."

They picked the wrong veteran to screw with.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

@peters.senate.gov I just called your office. I'm going to reiterate here. DO NOT VOTE TO REOPEN WITHOUT FULL ACA SUBSIDIES. The ACA saved my wife's life ten years ago. The GOP will never keep a promise. They are snakes. We cannot afford you to cave. The public knows whose fault this is. DON'T CAVE!

If you can at all afford to, head to WalMart ASAP for some shelf-stabile staples for your local food bank.

My daughter threw snacks & goodies (not on the list) in the cart "I KNOW what kids LIKE mom!" 🫶🏽

Solidarity is a muscle - it requires regular training and you need to start the kids young 👊🏽

Trump is openly ranking companies by political loyalty, weaponizing the government to punish companies that don’t push his agenda. This is political blackmail, plain and simple. https://www.axios.com/2025/08/15/white-house-rating-big-beautiful-bill
Scoop: White House hands down loyalty ratings for hundreds of companies
The unusual scorecard fits this administration's habit of micromanaging companies and administering loyalty tests.
