Not a shrink. Just a retired band director who had a bad therapist. Used to be @That_Darn on that other site. Please follow along. She/Her

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Everything is a land grab for this grifter.
Trump on Gaza: "We're gonna have it. And we're gonna keep it ... nobody is gonna question it ... we'll have lots of good things built there, including hotels."

This is what I've been pushing for. It's time for the Democratic Tea Party.

I had @walshfreedom.bsky.social on my show yesterday, and he said his record number of town halls was the thing he was most proud of.
Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important

Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone

The kicker is criminals will escape prosecution by this administration, but law-abiding enemies of Trump will go bankrupt proving their innocence.
This and the Eric Adams dismissal are signals.

Our criminal president is signaling that corruption is acceptable as long as your allegiance is to him.

He will control his criminal cronies as well as his enemies through abuse of the justice system.

America is entering its age of kleptocracy.

Dana: “You are the government.”

“Yes, that’s what I’m saying.” 🥴

Reporter: Why do you want to be chairman of Kennedy Center board?

Trump: Some of the shows were terrible. They were a disgrace.

Reporter: Have you seen any shows there?

Trump: No, I didn’t go.

I'll be honest, I'm not super confident seeing "the president can't ignore the law" posts about the guy who, by law, should not have been allowed to even run for president again, let alone become it

Yeah, he's not allowed to do many of the things he does, but no one's stopping the fucker, are they

Honestly, the Dems questions today for Hegseth seemed weak, and they let him get away with too much. They need to do better

I took some more photos of poor Pepper today. He is so sweet and loving and gentle but nobody has wanted to adopt him just because he looks a little bit scrungly. 😢 Please share with anyone you know in northern Vermont who might be interested! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Chris has it exactly right:

a. Cannon has no jurisdiction because of the appeal of the dismissal. She has no power to do jack shit in this case now.

b. She’s got no business addressing the 1/6 report not only because of (a) but because that’s totally separate from the case she dismissed.

I'm a vintage everything audio collector

This cassette recorder manufactured by Panasonic (RQ-309) was the most popular unit ever manufactured ( Over 100,000,000 units made between 1973 and 1975)
Many today, 50 years later still work perfectly.

I own 5 of these, brand new in box, never used.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.
