Personalized gold bars from the Swiss.
Used jumbo jet from Qatar.
Huge amounts of $$$ from crypto.

The amount of corruption in the White House is at unconscionable levels. We need some real serious ethics across the federal government.

Just started watching the new Ken Burns
series about the #AmericanRevolution on PBS. Looking forward to the episode where the Continental Army takes over the airports. #TrumpIsAMoron

MAGA followers think everyone on Welfare and SNAP are people scamming the system,while realistically it is the working poor and a lot of our Military.All along turning a blind eye on the rich/ corporations.We must make sure when we vote it is for people who have OUR BEST interests not the wealthy.

We're currently at the "Jesus didn't say we should feed people"

Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages

is it good or bad that the president of the united states is bragging about the difficulty of a test he took that started with identifying an elephant

Trump Nixing of Dem State Disaster Aid Backfires, Screwing MAGA Voters After Trump’s handling of disasters boomerangs on MAGA country, the author of a piece on his retribution against blue America explains how this saga reveals MAGA ideology’s deepest depravities.

Trump screws his voters again: He just denied disaster aid to Maryland (while giving it to red states). But I took a look and it turns out the suffering Maryland counties are in Appalachia and backed him by 40 and 54 points.

Republicans have given up almost everything they said they believed in, like small government, lower deficits, morality, free trade, etc., but they are still firm on protecting a pedophile from the release of evidence about his crimes.

Why does everyone keep calling it β€œThe Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

It does somehow sum everything up neatly. Trashy vulgarian unilaterally decides to tear up an iconic American building as though it’s one of his tacky private clubs, rather than a national monument he has very temporarily (and foolishly) been permitted to inhabit.

The Right's Most Unhinged Reactions to the Historic 'No Kings' Protests Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and Speaker Mike Johnson's attacked "No Kings" attendees, who were peaceful as they protested authoritarianism.

β€œThey say they’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king,” the president said days before posting an AI-generated video of himself piloting a plane labeled β€œKing Trump” while wearing a crown and dumping excrement on protesters.

Thought I would dip my toes back into Boston's "98.5 The Sports Hub" talk-radio waters after tuning-out 2 yrs ago when they played politcal ads. I wanted to hear some good Patriots talk today. Then I just heard an ICE recruiting ad. I know y'all need to pay the bills, but that's just gross. #NoKings

I know Donald Trump is a pathological liar, malignant narcissistic sociopath, racist, antisemite, misogynist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, hater of our troops and believer in euthanizing folks with disabilities, but we too often forget that he's *also* an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.

For at least 9 years, I have thought the D Party as a whole is as dumb as the people who should be voting for them and don’t.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Mike Johnson is holding Congress out of session for two reasons: number one, so that way there are no negotiations; and number two, to cover for all the pedophiles on Epstein's list...They're covering for pedophiles and dropping your healthcare coverage."

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Moonrise over Logan tonight. Full moon is technically tonight, but it happens just 12 minutes before midnight. So tomorrow night's 99% illumination will be practically identical, just on the other side of sunset.

This was at 6:07pm - about 5 minutes before sunset and 12 minutes after the moon rose.

Republicans brought the Senate back today to block our bill to lower health care costs and end the shutdown, and to insist on their bill to deprive millions of their health care.

Meanwhile, Republicans in the House decided to remain on vacation.

The history teacher is going to be stuck on β€œwhy didn’t the Biden admin punish sedition and why was a seditionist even allowed to run for president again” for a long, long time…Americans stopped believing they had a functional government long before they started believing they had a fascist one
