Pragmatic progressive, enlighten boomer, non theist, cat dad, anti-fascist, I've been fascinated with fascism since JR High when I saw films of the camps of the Nazi's. I do now understand how the people allowed that to happen. I am living that nightmare.

Something else to be thankful for today! Retirees are mobilizing to defend democracy—and the benefits literally show up in their DNA.

Repubs have held Tennessee's 7th Congressional District since 1983. Here's where things stand: The costs of housing and basic necessities are skyrocketing. Wages aren't keeping up. People are struggling.

It's time for change.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

Please tell me you understand what a huge responsibility we all have to vote in the US.

It’s our voice. It’s our choice. It’s the power we have as a people.

Vote.

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

Martin: You see a clear pattern of Brian Mast not voting in the interests of this district. Taken all together, with the right candidate, we can absolutely flip this district blue.

You have to ask, why was Witkoff chosen for this critically important role of special envoy to Putin? He had no diplomatic or foreign policy experience. No education on those subjects. So of all people, why him? I think what we all surmised is clear - Putin wanted Witkoff.

We are monitoring the situation in St. Paul and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation.

While we are always willing to work together on public safety, that is clearly not what this chaotic situation was about.

On tonight’s episode: Pam Bondi lunges at Lindsey Halligan: "You ruined my James Comey revenge!" Halligan yells, “You were the idiot who let the statute of limitations run!” A drunk Jeanine Pirro pushes them apart. Pam snarls at Pirro: “I’m not through with you, Miss Can’t Get a Fucken Indictment!”

Anybody seen 'em anywhere?

Surely they're around here somewhere...

Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator.

I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.
