This was his goal so I'm sure he's thrilled. And there IS no "Trumpcare"; those are two incompatible words. www.freep.com/story/money/...

Prince Andrew gives up royal titles over his Jeffrey Epstein ties The king's brother still denies allegations that he had sex with a 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre and other Epstein accusers.

Can we also get the Orange Scourge to give up his (perceived royal) and military titles over his frolicking with Jeffrey Epstein??? www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

The No Kings protests happening across Michigan and the country are powerful opportunities for people to make their voices heard. I encourage everyone who wants to participate to make signs, bring your friends, and stand together for what you believe in.

Trump is all about normalizing corruption.

BlueSky just verified the White House account. I responded by doing the only appropriate thing:

Military Plans to Fire Artillery Over California Freeway on Saturday Rounds were fired on Friday across Interstate 5 as part of a test for Saturday’s event in Southern California. The governor said the state would shut a section of the freeway.

The Marines plan to fire munitions over Interstate 5 in Southern California on Saturday, despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s concerns, as part of a demonstration to celebrate the Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary.

Opinion | I resigned from the military because of Trump I could not swear to follow a commander in chief who seems so willing to disregard the Constitution.

Military service members aren't political props.

President Trump's domestic military deployments put our fundamental rights at risk of being violated and put our troops in legal and ethical jeopardy.

Today's bible lesson

New York Times: "Military Plans to Fire Artillery Over California Freeway on Saturday"

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.

Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

I shall hoist a cold gin to Space Ace this weekend. I was at the Fraser Hockleyland gig 5/14/1974. It was so long ago, KISS rolled up in an old station wagon and asked us girls to take Polaroids of them out back; what a change! KISS were second on the bill to headliner Savoy Brown.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Russ Vought: "Let it be said -- there are all manner of authorities to keep this administration's policy agenda moving forward, and that includes reducing the size and scope of the federal government, and we will be looking for opportunities to do that."

Not sure that the military needs lectures from a makeup-wearing TV host and a senile draft-dodger

Trump administration uses taxpayer dollars to blame Democrats for government shutdown Federal employees across the government reported seeing similar messages. Experts say the messages may violate ethics laws meant to keep partisan politics out of day-to-day governing.
