I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

For all federal employees:

Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs.

If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

Republicans want you to hit your kids instead of giving them health care

My ex was a Canadian (now US citizen) and his family are all in Canada. Y’all can be really petty. I’ve seen it first hand during a divorce. lol

You may not be on this list, but he’s coming for you next.

My mom did, too. I wrote Grassley and Ernst days ago. No response. They don’t care

How can anyone in their right mind ignore this letter from Caroline Kennedy about her cousin, RFK Jr.?

Dems need to be strategic.

'Viruses Are Our Friend'— 10 Off the Wall Video Clips from RFK Jr. Resurface on Bluesky Past comments include denying AIDS and calling vaccinated children "damaged"

RFK Jr. is far more than just an “anti-vaxxer.” Over the years, he’s made countless outrageous statements on a wide range of topics. We’ve compiled 10 of the wildest clips—though even that barely scratches the surface.

The silence from Dems is deafening.

We’re exhausted—looking for leadership and starting to feel desperate. Everything feels like it’s slipping away & electeds aren’t acknowledging it, let alone speaking on it.

@dougjones.bsky.social sounds like someone who’s actually read the room. More of this!

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

Absolutely nothing.

American politicans are lying to you about American healthcare.

Universal health care map

70% of the world’s population has universal healthcare, but not the US

We are the only highly developed nation without it

Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation

US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

RIP Jimmy Carter.

This is why I let Brad carry my phone most of the time.

He loved a life of service. May his memory be a blessing to all he touched.

He did so much for so many. May his memory be a blessing.
