Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

You know what I'm doing this week. Going to attempt to make pikelets. And bring back my childhood. Of going to my grandmothers place, with my two male cousins, for Summer christmas holidays. And watch her like a hawk while she made them. They didn't last long with 3 growing boys.

Newsom may not be everyoneโ€™s pick but he can run and WIN and that is all that has to matter right now. He knows what heโ€™s doing and to run the 4th largest economy in the WORLD says that he can fix whatever felon has fโ€™d up.

If Newsom runs heโ€™s got my vote. I know other governors are fighting the good fight but Newsom is calling Trump out everyday. His PR team are great at getting under the buffoons skin.

Yes! Whoever the Democrat nominee is in 2028, whether itโ€™s Newsom or someone else, I sincerely hope that he/she can hire Newsomโ€™s fabulous PR team!

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office.

Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

With my experimental spectacles Iโ€™ve knocked over six coffee and tea mugs, each time before Iโ€™d poured the boiling water in.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.โ€

Thatโ€™s tonight. If the weather is good I might spend an hour or two on my back in the front yard just watching.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them โ€œviolent mobs,โ€ but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

๐Ÿ“Œ Keep sharing videos, everyone, because theyโ€™re evidence.
