I appreciate thoughtful, intelligent discussions with reasonable people, nature, good food, wine, humor, animals and music. I hate arrogance, prejudice, mean spirited and offensive people. Please no DMs.

Nearly 80% of voters in farming-dependent counties voted for Trump. Now, many of the farmers are on the brink of bankruptcy because of his policies.

The only trust I have tonight is in the American people. Voters had a huge win nationwide last week. We had 7 million demonstrating in the No Kings protests. Citizens have rallied to come to the aide of community members hit the hardest by the GOPโ€™s refusal to fund SNAP benefits. Today capitulation.

Started watching 60 Minutes tonight, but couldnโ€™t sit there and watch the lie after lie that Trump was given a platform to spew. The pushback was generally weak as these type of interviews tend to be. Not sure what CBS had in mind here, but in my mind was pretty much a disaster.

Trumpโ€™s amateur, unprofessional, undisciplined, secret police. These guys are total hacks. Tomorrow is an important court hearing on the rampant, use of excessive force in Chicago.

Virginiaโ€™s GDP growth drops from 6.2% to 1.7%. Three new economic reports issue warnings about why and what comes next. The reports also suggest the state may be losing high-wage jobs but gaining lower-wage jobs.

" All three cite the same thing for this sour economic outlook โ€” President Donald Trumpโ€™s policies, which have reduced federal employment and increased tariffs, both of which have hit Virginia uniquely hard..."

Does anyone really believe that Mike Johnson knows nothing about nothing as he always claims? How stupid does he think we are? He doesnโ€™t even have the guts to admit that he is a huge part of the biggest raid on the welfare of American citizens in modern history. Good grief!!

One thing thatโ€™s missing in the picture are foreign entities throwing money into the vacuum cleaner in the expectation of corrupt influence by the Trump admin. I need a bigger poster.

Power and joy! These tools displayed this past Saturday by the seven million people that came out to demonstrate are exactly what the authoritarians in the Trump admin are afraid of. They know they are in trouble and itโ€™s only going to get more desperate for them. People Power!!!

One day the White House โ€œballroomโ€ will be a museum cataloguing this countryโ€™s descent into autocracy, including horrors we have yet to see.

I feel like I need to re-post this sign I made back in June in light of Trumpโ€™s shake down of the American taxpayer for $230 Million for his hurt feelings on perfectly legal judgments that were made against him. Also donโ€™t get me started again on the illegal destruction of the East wing.

Seems to me that Attorney General has standing in her official capacity in representing the state of AZ in the harm that is being done to the citizens of Az-cd07 in the blatant refusal by Mike Johnson to do his job in swearing in the representative elect. His excuses donโ€™t hold water.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

Mayor Karen Bass: Today, I called on Congressman Robert Garcia, who is the lead Democrat on the Oversight Committee, to hold congressional hearings looking into the abuses by ICE and what is going on with the administrationโ€™s attacks on cities.

Weโ€™ll be having a hearing soon.

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. Theyโ€™ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally โ€” almost certainly incomplete โ€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. Theyโ€™ve had their necks kneeled on. Theyโ€™ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

He thinks he owns the White House. Itโ€™s the peopleโ€™s house. Just sad! โ€œOh, I wonโ€™t touch the existing structure of the East Wingโ€. More liesโ€ฆ.and for what. So he can spend millions of taxpayer money on something that no one wants. Disgusting!!! ๐Ÿคฎ

Karoline Leavitt can wear a thousand crosses, go to church a hundred times a week, and scream about โ€œChristian values.โ€ The truth is: she works for a corrupt criminal, convicted felon, two-bit con, lying, cheating fraud and lies every single day to protect him. Thatโ€™s not faith. Thatโ€™s a sin.
