New filibuster (technically NOT a filibuster but the longest speech on the floor of the senate) record JUST happened by #CoreyBooker. 24 hours 18 minutes was the old record held by Strom Thurmond when he was protesting civil rights. Glad I saw this historic moment.

This thing with Greenland saying “no” and that not being accepted and the president saying it has to happen one way or another, even by force feels… similar to other behaviors in relation to this president.

No votes for turncoats.

Trump is coming for the first amendment to the constitution. No doubt the second amendment is coming soon.

They said they were going to do this. They don’t care that people will be hurt. That our nation will be hurt. They fooled so many into voting for what is coming by lying and feeding fears.

Trudeau: "Every country is very aware that if the American government is willing to do this to their own closest ally, neighbor, and friend, everyone is vulnerable to a trade war."

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

I wish I could be alive 100 years from now to see how it all works out and what they will say about this period of world history.

Hold the line, democrats.

Remember what a big deal that was during the election? Wha’ happened?

If you have an Alexa try this. Say “Alexa tell me some famous people?” I’d love to hear what it says. Mine says Donald Trump, Elon musk, David lynch, and Caroline Leavitt. Seems a bit slanted.

If you are angry, be angry. Then take action if you can. Post if that is all you have in you at the moment. March if you have it in you. Call it out whenever you can. Make calls write letters/emails.

Or don't.

I'm not the boss of you.

I just know that our actions will lead to the results we get.

This is the actual, real post from the official White House site. Other nations see this. This becomes an official statement from our nation in the eyes of other nations. Is this what you want?

He has always been clear who he was. He has lied, cheated, manipulated, scared, bullied, stolen.

Just a few years ago she called him “Saudi Arabia’s bitch” and now she’s his Director of National Intelligence.

American politics is a strange, strange world.

Vertical morality is the mindset that says rules and authority are more important than human rights, your personal wellbeing, or the health of your horizontal relationships.

Horizontal vs Vertical Morality

HORIZONTAL morality requires attuning to self and others with emotional maturity and responding with mutual respect.

VERTICAL morality requires reliance on an entity outside yourself (usually god) to dictate your morality for you.

Score for tonight’s game will be

🚨 Elon Musk’s Team Gains Access to Treasury Payments System 👇

The Treasury Dept granted Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to the federal payment system, which handles $6T annually—including Social Security & Medicare.

I think I will begin calling billionaires, villainaires.

Please feel free to do that too.

Thank you.

Trump said he hadn’t read Project 2025 – but most of his early executive orders overlap with its proposals | CNN Politics A CNN analysis of Trump’s first week in office found that two-thirds of his early executive orders and actions appear closely aligned with Project 2025’s plans.

“This is exactly the work we set out to do,” Paul Dans, who oversaw Project 2025 at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told CNN.

Every journalist that ran with Trump's denials about Project 2025, that indulged them, that pretended it was a liberal conspiracy.... should hang their heads in shame.

Check yourself.

Well, the club owners of any sports club always have the best seats. That’s how you know who owns the franchise.

Apparently Joe & Jill will ride with Trump & Melania to the Capitol tomorrow.

Either Trump is a threat to democracy, & guilty of an insurrection, or not.

I believe he is.

Biden claimed to believe he is, too. But Biden & many top Dems didn't actually believe it.

Otherwise, how to explain this?

Just watched Wicked. Hugh Grant was excellent. The green witch was subtle. Not as much singing as I imagined. I understood the monopoly metaphor. Where there supposed to be monkeys?
