Mrs. C.🌻

I totally don’t disagree with the idea of ushering in a new generation. But I also don’t like all the bashing of older people. There is strength in cross-generational collaboration- the best of an age spectrum. There’s value in all ages just like having moderate and progressive Dems. Balance, y’all!

I wish someone could/would try to look into all those visas they got to bring women/girls over from out of the country , whether via Epstein or MaraLago or both. I don’t care who was involved- bring ‘em all down.

Dear Senate Dems,

Republicans don’t keep their promises…

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

I hope you commence an emergency Substack Live with someone tonight since Danielle is off for her b-day tomorrow. I’m sure @muellershewrote.com will join you! I don’t have a dog in the fight as I’m in TX, but we need to primary them OUT. Shame on the retiring ones caving-a pox on their legacy.

Even though I initially watched it for those two, the whole movie is truly entertaining from start to finish. I try to watch it once a year.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

A lot these names also threw Biden under the bus so I am not surprised. The ones who are retiring are wimps because they should have held the line.

What kind of person asks the Supreme Court to block funds for SNAP but has plenty of money for planes, ICE, Gold trim, and billions to Argentina for no reason?

Rep. Crow: Congress appropriated $6 billion to put towards SNAP. This is lawfully appropriated money that Donald Trump has decided he does not want to spend because he is trying to weaponize hunger to gain leverage in a negotiation. How sick and grotesque is that?

US accused of threatening EU diplomats during bid to kill green shipping rules Negotiators at shipping talks in London were told both they and their countries could be punished unless they voted with the U.S.

Scorched Earth @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com is manna that could probably feed the whole planet. 👏🏼😮‍💨

He was going to run out the clock either way regardless of venue with delay, delay, delay. Would starting all of this in 2021 instead made any difference with a longer ramp?? Possibly??

I’m pretty sure his legal team told him not to go to the inauguration for this very reason re: official acts & immunity. The decision to skip it was likely a calculated decision on top of him being a sore loser. He never cared about the American people. Only the grift & pirate’s booty.🏦💰

Is it just me who thought that CBS Sunday Morning today was missing its usual oomph? Or, am I having an unconscious bias regarding the new owners and head of their news? I am done with ‘Face the Nation’ after today, and getting lukewarm now on ‘60 Minutes.’

@facethenation.bsky.social @cbsnews.com it is really sad to see Margaret Brennan attack Hakeem Jeffries about problems the Republicans caused!! I don’t like the bowing down that CBS News is doing to the dictator. Where is our Bob Schieffer and Walter Cronkite? Where is the journalism?

What will it take to convince Zelenskyy and the rational countries in EU that 🟠felon is stringing them along like Lucy with the football to Charlie Brown and has no intention to help Ukraine?

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

They must be exhausted.

One year ago, all the mainstream media talked about was how terrible inflation was. Here we are, a year later, and it’s even worse.

Riddle me this: Why does inflation under Trump get only a tiny fraction of the press attention it got last year? 🤨

I wish we could get other games in Austin besides games with the Chiefs and the Eagles. I am burned out on both teams.

Trump Is Setting the National Parks Up to Fail Workers say the real crisis is happening behind the scenes.

“We are really pulling out all the stops to make sure that the impacts are being hidden.” National Park Service workers say a crisis is building behind the scenes, Kylie Mohr reports.

In the middle of reading ‘107 Days.’ Just getting to the convention part. I watched both conventions & they didn’t even compare. Growing up on Schoolhouse Rock, I naïvely assumed people were more for a melting pot vs ‘Mass Deportation Now.’ What has happened to us??

Sonny Curtis, member of the Crickets who wrote the "Mary Tyler Moore Show" theme song, dies at 88 Sonny Curtis died Friday, his wife of more than a half-century, Louise Curtis, confirmed to The Associated Press.

Sonny Curtis, a vintage rock 'n' roller who wrote the raw classic "I Fought the Law" and posed the enduring question "Who can turn the world on with her smile?" as the writer-crooner of the theme song to "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," has died at 88.

Thanks for sharing- looking for “something good” stories since since I cannot be “rid of this turbulent priest” in the US.

Robert Reich Trump Lied About Grocery Prices

Grocery inflation hit a two-year high in August.

But Trump seems to have given up on doing anything to make groceries cheaper.

Wasn’t that what the entire election was supposedly about? https://youtu.be/9EXi6xyOXSk?feature=shared

Listened live in Texas and had many grins and giggles. Look forward to a replay. You should have been on all day for breaking “commentary” when live footage was shown! #ClipetyClop
