The US military fights in the dark - just like we did in Desert Storm, so this is my experience.

Wednesday is a new moon, so the attack is imminent, I believe.

Marines exercising in the dark.

These are my indicators - I missed the Ukraine invasion by 3 days, I'm predicting the next 3.

Trump didn’t attract the $12T and now $20T in investment. The $12T is just Americans’ own 401(k) savings he’s relabeling as “new money.” Foxconn in proved the pattern: in 2017 he made big promises, with tiny results. The numbers only grow when he retells the story.

I wish this kid and I would bump into each other.

We're on the same train line.

Well, here we go, apparently.

So much for "no new wars."

Elon Musk and Doug Collins said cuts at VA wouldn’t affect patients - none of the cuts would be patient-facing.

They lied. DOGE considered a mechanical person to correctly assemble and maintain wheelchairs and other rehabilitative equipment to be unnecessary.

Here they call it the “gay agenda” or “trans ideology.”

They want the same thing.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov You can make it the easy way (resign) or the hard way (forced out).

We the people are NOT happy that you caved and made Trump look right.

Boo.

What do Dem politicians not see when Trump makes deals with universities and law firms, then goes back to doing whatever was before the deal?

The Senate will hold a vote on subsidies and Thune has kept his promise.

The real Speaker Gramps will not allow Grindr Mike to bring it to the floor.
In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

I’m with @indivisible.org - if you don’t vote to dump @schumer.senate.gov I’m for your primary candidate.

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s time to get rid of this Dem leadership.

They are feckless and weak.

They think the R’s will keep deals they make - WAKE THE FUCK UP.

They’ve given away their only leverage.

We will never see those ACA subsidies now.

Never.
Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Evil.

No other way to describe it.

Defying a court order to feed people.

Starving people is one way to spark a revolt.

PS - Massachusetts has paid its citizens the full amount. Fuck Trump.

I always try to remind you (and myself) to take a little time every day to find something beautiful that brings you joy and take a picture of it for when you need it to cheer yourself up.
I share mine to make it work free. Today it’s the best skater I’ve seen in my 61 yrs.

Fell yesterday- broken ankle that requires surgery.

Screw plates and breaking my heel bone in 2 places plus a tendon lengthening in my calf.

5 hour surgery as soon as he can get the OR space - it’s booked and right now it’s Black Friday.

Anyway. Fun times!

Thank you for your attention to this
