I grew up on an Oregon homestead farm. After graduating from Oregon State University I spent a career in the US Forest Service fighting fire and managing forests and recreation programs. I love travel, RVing, hiking, photography, birding and gardening.

Oh my God! Sooo annoying! I long for the day when the federal government just quietly worked day in and day out. When professionals could be trusted to do their jobs and do their best for the American people without fear, favor or criminality. Will we ever be able to return to normalcy? I hope so.

How much do you HATE the constant, non-stop, annoying, childish, WHINING, COMPLAINING and perpetual VICTIMNESS of Trump and his lackeys?

It sounds as if Trump’s Republicans have purchased, are buying and building dozens and dozens of huge warehouses across the country to house as many as 10,000 people each. Gulags!! Concentration camps!! To what end? THEY MUST BE STOPPED. ORGANIZE! MARCH! VOTE EARLY IN 2026!!

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are buildingβ€”and have builtβ€”a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

These criminals, masquerading as government officials and getting paid by us, must be stopped. Trump appointed them; Republicans are allowing them to run roughshod over our Constitution; and Trump and his conspirators are obviously planning to steal the 2026 election by nefarious means.

β€˜Designed to intimidate’: Fulton County official decries FBI raid in court filing The FBI showed β€œcallous disregard” for numerous constitutional rights through the raid, the county alleged.

It was a raid as shocking as it was extraordinary: Last month, the FBI entered the main election operations center of Fulton County, Georgia, and seized records β€” including ballots β€” from the 2020 presidential vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Republicans know, if everyone gets to vote then they lose! So, they no longer want a democracy. They do not want β€œone person, one vote”. They only want white Republican votes to count. Short of that they would prefer a dictatorship! To defeat the GOP cabal ORGANIZE, MARCH, & VOTE EARLY IN 2026!

Republicans ask Supreme Court to block states from counting legally cast mail ballots If the Court sides with the RNC, millions of voters who depend on mail-in voting could be disenfranchised.

NEW: The Republican National Committee (RNC) is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to dramatically restrict mail-in voting nationwide and asking the justices to rule that ballots arriving after Election Day β€” even if mailed on time under state law β€” should not be counted.

Trump, his cabinet and GOP leadership should ALL be required to go to one of these facilites, where little children are being kept, and they should have to sleep on a metal bunk with no decent blanket and eat the moldy, worm infested food there! MY GOD!! These are evil criminal atrocities!!!!

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡

on merit, not favoritism or retaliation. Without independent review, employees who speak up about problems, report waste or misconduct, or simply fall out of favor could have far fewer options to defend themselves. That weakens accountability and makes the entire federal workforce more vulnerable.

If this moves forward, federal workers caught up in a future reduction in force could lose their ability to challenge whether their firing was fair, lawful, or politically motivated.

This matters because these protections exist to keep the civil service fair and based

A new proposal from the Trump administration would take away one of the main safeguards federal employees have when they are fired. It would strip an independent review board of its power to hear appeals from terminated workers and block those employees from taking their cases to court.

Republicans, why are you doing this? Being in this country without β€œpapers” is not a felonious crime! It’s a misdemeanor, like speeding - worthy of a ticket, fine and court appearance. But no, these violent racists want to jail hundreds of thousands in gulags permanently! NO! THIS MUST STOP NOW!!

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

"The Dept of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for months... trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug"

Slimey! This whole administration is a bunch of disgusting low-lifes!
And the GOP (Grand Oppressive Party) are fine with all of them and every depraved act they have committed on our dime in our name. They ALL need to go!! Let us truly make America great again by throwing out all of Trump’s scum!

Howard Lutnick faces bipartisan calls to resign over latest Epstein revelations Recently disclosed records suggest a closer relationship than the Commerce secretary previously indicated.

Secretary Howard Lutnick lied to the country about his ties to Epstein.

Now we learned that they were in business together.

He has no business being our Commerce Secretary.

He should resign.

And current day Republicans all seem to disagree. They are losing their minds over this. Whatever happened to the party of Lincoln, Eisenhower, Reagan, Bush, and John McCain? The party did not used to be racist and hateful. This vitriol does not represent us! ORGANIZE, MARCH, VOTE EARLY IN 2026!!

As a convicted felon serving a long stretch she should be held in contempt for not answering. The 5th is intended to protect one from incriminating themselves. It cannot be used to protect other criminals. She should sit in a small dingy local jail cell until she reveals names of co-conspirators.

Come on Maine! You can do better than her! Susan Collins does a terrible job of representing THE PEOPLE of your state. And, as one of only 100 US Senators she has a duty and responsibility to represent the best interests of THE PEOPLE of the ENTIRE US. Instead she is for Trump and billionaires!!

Trump, his cabinet and ALL sycophantic Republican backers in Congress are continuously lying to the American people. Sometimes by making up β€œfacts” but in this case by eliminating 15 pages of crucial facts from an important education report. ORGANIZE. MARCH. VOTE EARLY IN 2026! DEFEAT THE GOP!

Trump censored this report.

The Trump administration censored this report.

Why?

They don’t want you to know just how much of a mess they’ve made with student loans.
