Trump's firing of Pam Bondi and the war crimes of Pete Hegseth both illustrate the perils of personalist rule. Flattery, tribute, and the willingness to break laws for Trump are all that matter. We are seeing the disastrous consequences everywhere. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2086...

There are 3 million acres of federal Forest land in the northern lower Peninsula and Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the federal government is really doing a disservice to us up here. It looks like blue/purple states are being punished 🤬 www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

Fire and Ice. Here's your TGIF Yooper sunrise from the northwest corner of Lake Michigan with oodles of drama this morning #906Life #PureMichigan

Some good news. 73,000 acres in a remote stretch of the Upper Peninsula’s Huron Mountains are now permanently protected from future development and open for public recreation. www.mlive.com/environment/... #906Life #PureMichigan

This aged well 🙄🤡

A country where Flag Officers are dismissed on the whim of a president or a secretary of Defense -- and where it's tolerated by those in a position to stop it -- is a country in decline

Not a good time for a cabal of ignorant unqualified idiots to be running the country. Elections matter. Vote wisely. CDC temporarily halts testing for several infectious diseases amid staffing shortages www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Secretary Hegseth has fired over a dozen senior military officials. Firing the Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war is a big deal: www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...

Pam Bondi proves that for Trump, you can't debase yourself enough.

Orange Caligula is going to fire Attorney General/Hack Pam Bondi because she hasn't weaponized the DOJ enough and because she released some of the #EpsteinFiles. He is butt hurt and just wants to lash out with fact free cases against his perceived enemies. www.ms.now/news/trump-i...

It's a freezing rain Thursday winter storm warning kind of day up here on the northwest corner of Lake Michigan. #906Life #puremichigan

Wisconsin Supreme Court justices have a profound responsibility: protecting the rights of the people and delivering on the promise of equal justice under the law. Judge Chris Taylor is the only candidate running for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court with a proven record of delivering on that promise.

This regime fired experts in their fields and replaced them with maga loyalist lunatics. This one claims he can teleport himself and is responsible for disaster response at FEMA 🤦‍♂️

Covid strains are mutating around the world. Would be nice to have science believers running our government. Scientists say that Cicada carries 70 to 75 new mutations in the spike protein, the portion that the human immune system recognizes and targets. time.com/article/2026...

Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.

He knows he is going to lose this in court but that isn't the point. The point is when his GOP gets wiped out in November he is going to say it was stolen from him by mail in ballots. He is going to pull some serious crap this fall.

The Keweenaw in Michigan's Upper Peninsula is having it's snowiest winter in over 20 years - 344 inches - almost 29 feet of snow this season already and more on the way! Just 45 inches more to set their all time record. www.mlive.com/life/2026/03... #906Life #PureMichigan

Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain are egging on this idiot Pedi-Potus to continue the Iran War? Let them pay for it and let them put forth the ground troops then. this is not making America great! 🤬 apnews.com/article/trum...

The truth of it.

Phang: This is so typical of what has happened in this administration. Michael Flynn sued and is now going to be given $1.5 million in a settlement. Ashli Babbitt’s family is receiving $5 million. The Trumps are suing for $10 billion. Just a snapshot of the type of bullshit that is happening

The corruption with this regime is over the top. We need to beef up the public corruption unit at the FBI and DOJ and put some teeth into the law!

He just wanted to wash his hands and turn off the faucet, but things went out of control.

Boyle: The situation is bad. It’s getting worse. And we have a president who, frankly, only cares about putting his signature on currency, illegally etching it onto the Kennedy Center, and building his big, beautiful ballroom—and frankly couldn’t give a shit about the American people.

I mean there it is.

Americans: We just want health care Republicans: How about another Middle East war?

Fascists and oligarchs around the world are sleeping with one eye open. Putin is in hiding because he is worried about internal plots against him. Felon47 lies his ass off because he can't stop the rising tide against him and his pals. Their insatiable greed and corruption is not sustainable.

Over 100,000 people here at the #NoKings rally in St. Paul Minnesota. This amazing crowd continues to grow. Our country belongs to all of us, not one person. Trump is forgetting this. He acts like he owns America. He does not. On this day from Alaska to Maine we remind him!

JFC this is all self inflicted. The ridiculous war on woke and dei is having real world consequences. Make them pay for it - VOTE BLUE America!

Met this guy in Boulder Junction, Wisconsin back in the 1990's when he built an incredible little village out of all naturally made log cabins. It had a bakery, a pub and a restaurant. He is so talented. And a huge land conservationist. Do you know him @mimapleman.bsky.social www.lovewi.com/joe/

These clowns running the Department of War are too concerned about woke and dei and not nearly concerned enough about protecting highly expensive US taxpayer bought military assets and this should piss off every American taxpayer. Fucking clowns. 🤬

This is not cool. At all. A Calgary, Canada company that is deeply unpopular in the upper Great Lakes are going to pay law enforcement to rough up peaceful protestors in Wisconsin and force their unpopular and filthy oil pipeline on them. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

In general Great Lakes legal matters, “Enbridge has agreed to funnel money to U.S. law enforcement in anticipation of protests against its Line 5 pipeline reroute project, a move that has raised concerns about the depth of the company's influence in policing issues”. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
