What he said. 100%.👇 #holdfast

I truly hope European leaders see this for what it is and organize to fill the gaping chasm caused by the corrupt, fascist regime we now have in America. We cannot leave Ukraine in the position to defend all of Europe from the Russian aggressor.

Two things: 1) Are we the only nation that advertises Rx pharma products direct to consumer? 2) If I have to see one more "Skyrizi" commercial, I may burn my TV remote.

I remember watching the first moon walk as a Gen X child. I was three years old when America broadcast this history. I've never forgotten it. No way I'm looking away from history now anymore than I did then. We may be the smallest generation, but don't count us out. We were born to know history.

Oregon National Guard General Alan Gronewold: “Yes, if you give an order that directs a soldier to commit a criminal act, they should disobey that." The only person who thinks the contrary is a 34-count convicted felon, who wouldn't pay himself for the crime committed by the soldier.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.” Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

Imagine if you will…🤪 A world in which Speaker Nancy Pelosi would bring a bill to the House floor, without knowing every, single, item in it. Down to typos and punctuation. Mike Johnson is an incompetent idiot, full stop. Don’t stop, repeat. Mike Johnson is an incompetent idiot, full stop. Repeat

Spot on.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

A relative told me that I'm "a better mom to your dogs than your own parents ever were for you." She's not wrong, but I would add my parents were my example of who I didn't want to be. Good parenting--for pets or humans--is a choice. People can choose to equip themselves to parent well, or not.

I've had a small veggie garden for over 10 years, with heat waves that required frequent watering, but none that lasted as long as this year's record. By the time July set in, even the tomatoes were giving up the ghost. But yes, please, assure me that climate change is a "hoax." Uh-huh.

Yep. What she said. 🥰

... sublime? .... 🙄

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 Jared Taylor calls himself a “race realist.” In reality, he’s nothing more than a white supremacist who built American Renaissance into a hub for extremists. (cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory www.splcenter.org/resources/ex...

This is why so many of us say, "Epstein didn't kill himself." If it walks like a duck .... etc., etc., etc. Also, "often the simplest explanation is the most likely."

A reminder that there is a lot of ongoing litigation around the drawing (and redrawing) of congressional maps. My firm is currently involved in more than a dozen cases in 10 states: AL, CA, GA, LA, MO, NC, NY, TX, VA and WI. Subscribe to Democracy Docket to stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The gentlemen in this photo had a lot to do with who I turned out to be. I am forever grateful for their example, and even more grateful they got to come HOME. I don't want to know who I would have been without them. Happy Veterans Day to all who served. ❤️💙🤍

It is truly heartening to see this kind of GOOD news on a truly stupid day like today. F/U, Kim Davis, and cheers to my LGBTQ+ lovelies. Go thou and live EXACTLY the life you want with EXACTLY the person you want to live it with. #LoveIsLove

I’m equal parts furious and exhausted. Let me finish this lovely bottle of Pike Road Pinot, get a full night’s sleep, and get back in the fray in the morning. Peace, love, and solidarity, dear friends. We rise again tomorrow.

I don't even know what to say anymore. I'm off to find whatever methods I can to help those in my community who are most negatively impacted by the Orange Idiot and the Compromised Republicans and the "What in the Effing Hell Are You Doing" Democrats who just rolled over for no good reason. WTF?

Please forgive the all caps here: "THIS IS WHAT WE EFFING EXPECT OF OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES!!!" Returning to normal capitalization now: For the love of all that is holy, will you PLEASE effing FIGHT?!?!? If that's not in your DNA, then resign and let us vote in someone who WILL.

We're on our own. From here on out, my goal is this: I will use what resources I have to take care of me and my family and to take care of those in my community who need help they can't get otherwise. May I recommend we all do that. In unison. At least until we can elect Dems with SPINES.

A GIF that demonstrates the kind of Dem candidates I will for now, and likely for the forseeable future, support: (I can't believe I believed you AGAIN. FFS, get a backbone and some grit or GTFO. We'll get it done without you. F**k.)

Watching "The Mountainhead" on HBO Max for something like the 5th time. Anyone paying attention will quickly arrive at conclusions as to the real-life characters being played out on screen. You could easily swap one for another at a dozen points along the way, but yeah. It's pretty much dead on.

What (and I can't emphasize the next part of this question enough) the actual F*CK?! 🤬

Senile Satan is straight-up lying again. After away food and healthcare from millions - this is his go-to defense. Obama has never made any profits or royalties from the ACA, ever.

Still sporting recovery shoes on both feet after fracturing my left 5th metatarsal and right big toe. (long story 🙄) And while I appreciate drive-up/pick-up services offered by so many stores, I just want to walk my own damned self into the store. I hate feeling hampered or limited in any way. Argh.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

Since my executive order last week to increase prescribed burns for wildfire prevention, California State Parks has done a series of beneficial fires. While most of our forests are supposed to be federally managed, we're filling the void as the Trump Administration continues to be MIA.

Remind people of this fact every fucking day.

The way I snort-laughed out loud ... 🤣

I wrote so many "postcards to voters" on this round that I literally had to ice my writing hand on the daily. Lemme tell ya: W O R T H I T !!!!! Let's roll. 😎

Tomorrow we begin the run to taking back MO-2, breaking the Republican super majority in Jefferson City, and flipping the House. Join us. We’re not done yet! #TeamWellman @wellmanformo.bsky.social

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Van Halen at The Summit in Houston, TX in the 80s. 🤘😎 (I will always miss The Summit. Good times.)

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies. Trump just won’t release it. 440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

The Senate can pass a bill on a straight majority whenever it wants House. Senate. Presidency. All GOP. Whenever they want, they can pass their budget 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mmm hmm.
