This ought to scare you. It scares me.

Pete Hegseth’s confirmation will make our nation less safe.

It is a sad and dangerous day when Republican Senators put loyalty to President Trump ahead of our national security.

There's something needs to be said
And it's important
You don't need to be gay to stick up for your gay friends
You don't need to be trans to stick up for your trans friends
You don't need to be Jewish or muslim or Hindu or black or white
You only need to be good people
To stick up for your friends

One of the voices I frequently seek out!

Just imagine what our world would be like today, if he'd been found guilty the *first* time he was impeached

15 years after Citizens United, which transformed every corporate treasury in America into a potential political slush fund, we now see the result: government of billionaires, by oligarchs, for plutocrats.

Federal Workers Sue Trump Administration Over Schedule F Executive Order Read more here.

NEW: President Trump signed an executive order known as "Schedule F" that strips thousands of federal employees of job protections, making it easier to dismiss them for political disloyalty. Federal workers have sued challenging the order.

After Biden pardoned Jan. 6 police officers, Trump pardoned Jan. 6 criminals The new president agreed to let violent criminals back onto American streets, and then peddled discredited conspiracy theories and lies about the attack.

In a nutshell...

"Biden pardoned January 6 police officers,
Trump pardoned January 6 criminals."

It wasn't just black vultures. There were turkey vultures hanging about as well.

Black vultures have been hanging out for the last couple of days

Did I say mild-mannered?
This little rapscallion is showing much more attitude as he settles in. He's ready to play.

Mr. Krinkle(s)?

Still settling on a name, but Mr. Krinkle is in the running.
A very mild-mannered kitten so far.

Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.

Krinkle?

We thought it too soon after losing LPC, but another foster encouraged Leesa to adopt this one.
Possibly to be named Krinkle (he has crinkly whiskers)

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact.

You are entitled to your own opinion.

You are not entitled to your own facts.

Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.
