I appreciate your good wishes.🥰👍

Yay!! I love good news!

Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.

“We don’t need another king, another tyrant, another dictator.” — U.S. Army Veteran, 101st Airborne

We took an oath to the Constitution—not to serve the ambitions of any one man.

What’s happening isn’t national defense. It’s a warning sign.

Linda McMahon: "Universities should continue to be able to do research as long as they're abiding by the laws and in sync, I think, with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish."

Well payed, Harvard, well played.

So funny! My squirrel guy almost entered my home yesterday. Must be something in the air.😊

Great news! Congratulations Teresa!

Arlington National Cemetery stops highlighting some historical figures on its website Articles, photos and videos that are seen as promoting DEI will be removed under the new approach.

When I present to kids about history, we talk about how some history gets lost by accident - and how some is intentionally erased. That's when it falls on all of us to make sure those stories are shared. www.npr.org/2025/03/14/g....

Hooray!! Can't wait to visit the new bookstore!

The contagion is spreading. This is how you get a hard-core recession.

Love this.

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker.

Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

Over the years, Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, often at critical moments, a Washington Post analysis has found, helping seed the growth that has made him the world’s richest person.

Wonderful review Marcie! Congrats!
