I am happiest when talking about books, movies, dinos, wildlife, art, and genealogy.
Tonight, Democrats forced a vote on a simple amendment.
To remove new tariffs that are increasing the cost of groceries, gas and housing.
Republicans rejected it.
Has anyone else noticed the increase in the cost of books over the past 2-3 weeks? #books #bookprices

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

Reminder to our troops from General Milley: you took an oath to defend the Constitution, NOT a would-be king. Refusing illegal and unethical orders are rights. As FOTUS moves closer to installing martial law, please remember your oath and your rights #Voices4Victory

Withholding money for medical research while increasing tax cuts for the richest among us is morally criminal.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

Three updates:
1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.
— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu
— Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile
— Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans
“Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.
