Trump and his allies mount a pressure campaign against US elections ahead of the midterms | CNN Politics A few weeks ago, Republican election officials in Colorado began receiving unsolicited calls and texts from a GOP consultant who said he was working with the Trump administration on “election integrit...

Stephen Miller is the real threat. He drafts the new executive orders, and Trump acts clueless as to what he is signing. This is Democracy being taken away from us. Let's hope all states ensure they take action to protect our elections.

Thank you for including me! I hope you had a great weekend🙂

Great song! Thank you for sharing, Simon.

And there it is.

@unitedhealtcare.bsky.social is getting worse! I Why can I only have the oral suspension of Famotidine and not take the pills (now a plan exclusion)? I am aware of your, "that is part of what your benefits manager choose" -- but, most companies rely on you to help with managing benefits.

I agree. We have a bookstore/coffee shop near where I live. I bought a book-- so no coffee or treats. I still got the automated tip screen... I did not tip for a book purchase.

GOP’s Murkowski says she feels ‘cheated’ by administration following megabill’s passage The Alaska senator thought she’d negotiated an agreement to protect solar and wind projects. Then she learned otherwise.

Why don't I feel bad for Senator Murkowski? She got taken by her own party. She voiced her opinion-- but sold out because she thought she was getting a deal for Alaska. She then "hoped" the House of Representatives would fix things.

Congress do your job. There is a lot to uncover. No one in the Justice Department can be trusted to uncover the truth when the lie for Trump. We are losing faith in our government.

Colbert's cancellation is a dark warning CBS's decision marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large.

Why Colbert's cancellation marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large

Thanks for the Friday music, Simon! I have not heard this one...I just came from an outdoor market where a band was doing a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's, "Feelin' Groovy."

A Message to Stephen Colbert from MeidasTouch By Ben Meiselas

Stephen Colbert, if you’re reading this: the door is open at the MeidasTouch Network open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Stephen Colbert doesn’t need CBS anyway. Wherever he ends up, people are going to watch him even harder now. All CBS did was solidify the fact that they’ll be know until the end of time as just another spineless corporation that couldn’t do the right thing.

Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' run will come to an end next year as CBS cancels franchise The decision "is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount," the network said.

I am disappointed in #Paramount. I canceled my subscription months ago after they settled with Trump for his approval to merge with Skydance. Paramount proves they will pay the price. I am a big Star Trek fan. Sad I will miss the premiere of "Strange New Worlds."

Hmm

The election results came in abnormally quicker than previous elections. It was all so strange. We also heard about warnings of outside influence from Russia and China. I question Elon Musk and his DOGE Team. They hacked into government systems-- did they hack election results?

New song for me! Thank you, Simon.

Good morning, Simon! I wasn't sure if I've heard this one-- but I have heard it on the radio playing! I now know who sings the song! Thank you 😊

Hi Simon! Sorry, I didn't respond sooner... I was doing what the song said-- soaking up the 🌞 Thanks for including me! Hope you are doing well!

There’s something SERIOUSLY WRONG with a political system like this.

'Hard fact to overlook': All Nebraska Congressmen hint at voting for President Trump's bill The House of Representatives convenes at 8:00 a.m. Wednesday to begin debate on the "Big Beautiful Bill"

Don Bacon. Retiring at the end of his term. He admits there are things about the Big Beautiful Bill he doesn't like... but will vote for it anyway. Another #LisaMurkowski

It's not! I like the song a lot. It made me 😃

No words. I spoke to several Trump supporters who thought Trump would only deport immigrants that were "criminals." The problem? Trump sees all immigrants as being here illegally and thus, they are "criminals" - even those who haven't committed a crime.

I saw the title as I scrolled past, and I started singing it! Lol. Then, I listened to it. Now? It's stuck in my head.

I feel bad for everyone that this bill will hurt. Murkowski sold out, hoping she could keep Alaska exempt-- she failed.

I don't believe anything they say. They first tell us what we want to hear and then vote the other way.
