Light always conquers darkness -- hope you can be a beacon for someone this week.

The 2025 version of "let them eat cake"

No cloture

Impeach Trump

Or, just maybe, those millions of people are changing their minds as they see that they were lied to.

5 Things I Did (not) This Week
1 Did not lie about Zelensky
2 Did not childishly insult & lie about astronauts
3 Did not wear sunglasses indoors while addicted or wave a chainsaw
4 Did not fire nuclear, FAA, & FDA employees who keep us safe
5 Did not take billions in contracts while cutting SNAP

...and bombing sheltering children in spite of a roof painted with the message "children inside"

And then, in tbe future, you find yourself, after a lifetime of paying into social security as a US citizen, having to suffer thru miles of red tape and delays because a rigged system sends you nothing but headaches in the name of "weeding out"

Pretty depressing when our president doesn't know how rain works. Or where Pacific Northwest rivers and mountains are. Or how our the hydrologic cycle works. 🤨

Not good enough -- and the read only thing isn't fooling us, btw

When telecomm companies were allowed to self-report compliance on using federal funds earmarked for improving rural internet access, they reported falsely and spent the $$ instead on improving broadband in urban areas where they could increase profit. Don't expect a fox to guard a hen house. Ever.

When telecommunications companies were also allowed to self-report compliance in using federal funds earmarked for improving rural internet access, they reported falsely and spent the $$ instead on improving broadband in urban areas where they could increase profit. Foxes dont guard hen houses.

Dont forget, federal grants come with explicit, plentiful rules on how $ must be spent with extensive grant reporting requirements to ensure compliance (federal funding isn't a free for all with no strings attached). The feds can already evaluate grants thru grant applications w/o this chaos.

Great speech

He has not earned that conversation. In truth, he may be the least qualified applicant for any federal position. Ever.

@senjoniernst.bsky.social Please do NOT confirm Hegseth and compromise US military. A no vote against Hegseth should be more important than party line loyalty.

Wonder what makes some dogs interested in watching TV and others not. My daughter's dog (the Bouvier below) will watch and respond to TV; my golden retriever ignores it completely.

Here is one of my favorites from my garden, blooming last summer

It's a corgi thing,right?
