Retired, avid gardener, enjoy doing all the boring things retired people do. Very concerned about the state of the world that my grandchildren will inherit. On Bluesky to get the real news!

To be clear, this now a massive cover up involving the President, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, and the GOP Congress.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no."

This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

What the Right Kind of Nationalism Sounds Like. Justin Trudeau gives an international lesson in leadership.

Why Justin Trudeau's speech was the right kind of nationalism.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.

What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking β€œin unison β€œ ?

I appear on @CNN often. And if saying this means my days at CNN are over, then fuck it. CNN, removing @Acosta.bsky.social from his am show is cowardly bullshit. Acosta is an independent, unafraid host. To demote him to appease the crybaby in the White House is pathetic. Shame on u CNN. Don’t do it.

This is worth a watch. Listen to Michael Fanone after the trash is done speaking. Pass it on.

Trump is weak, stupid, and corrupt. He’s an absurdly easy mark for Putin and Xi to manipulate and roll.

Idk what it is, but this picture fascinates me. JFK just pulled up to Appalachia and said, β€œI want you to tell me what you need.” Call me crazy, because yes, times are different, but I see the vision. We need more of this!

Pete is correct, as he usually is.

The Republicans were obsessed with Obama releasing his birth certificate, and VP Harris releasing her McDonald’s pay stubs. BUT THEY don’t want to release the report investigating THEIR Attorney General nominee for allegedly hooking up with a child? Interesting how that works!
