I must mix in a little love with all the horror. I give you pure happiness. This moment in the sun was shortly ruined by a certain golden retriever.

While they use official government sites for lies and political gain, violating the hatch act.

What do we do with the government uses official sites for lies about the other party?

Trump administration said it would not use any of the approximately $6 billion the USDA holds in reserve to fund the SNAP. states have run out of funds to distribute to the more than 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP to put food on the table. this is on the gov website, breaking the Hatch Act..

Cool California morning. Rain is a good excuse to snuggle up and read.

The brutality. The corruption. The lies.

Everything is on full display β€” and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson.

Watch.

Illegally tearing down the people’s house. No plans, no permits, no public reviews. Sums up this two-bit con’s first 9 months. Republicans are still
In hiding. Seems like taxation without representation.

BE AWARE - Especially at No Kings

Undercover ICE, far right influencers, and agitators have
been spotted at other protests.

Mike Johnson has already started the narrative that the No
Kings protest is a "terrorist" event.

They WILL be trying to provoke violence. Whatever you do,
do NOT take the bait. Do not let others take the bait. Stay
peaceful, stay on message.

If you are interviewed, repeat the most unifying talking
points.

Do NOT lean into "antifa" labels. It is not a real organization.
Don't let their lies become real. Don't let it become a label.
Stick to saying the whole thing: We are against fascism and
violations of the constitution.

I think as many straight white people who can should attend whatever "No Kings" protest is near you. But use your head. Stay peaceful. Speak of TRUE patriotism and support of The Constitution, Freedom, and The American Way when asked. Convince people to register to vote AND TO VOTE DEM.

Super close golden retriever nose, behind that a calico cat spelled in my lap on a blanket and the white golden retriever looking sad in the background.

Heather Cox Richardson October 5, 2025 (Sunday) On Friday the Minnesota Star Tribune reported a conversation on the messaging app Signal between one of Stephen Miller’s top deputies, Anthony Salisbury, and a senior...

Why isn’t this in the news? More signal leaks showing that Miller is running out government? Read Heather Coz Richardson if you already don’t. www.facebook.com/100044557238...

When your youngest is obsessed with the 80s, anime, sonic, stranger things, and Pedro… and you have very low baking skill, you just go with it. Tacky 80s birthday cake complete.

They will spend twice as much making sure not one person who is ineligible will get care than they will making sure people get the care they need.

I love my work and cant wait to launch our new 5th grade pilot program, Watershed Protectors. They will be learning all about invasive plants, get to remove some, and educate the public on the issue.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."
