Trump’s new budget adds an extra $500 billion to fund wars abroad — about $3,700 more for every household in America — while cutting health, jobs, housing, and education. Put simply, it takes more of your money for foreign wars, while making life in America even more unaffordable.

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections. If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

My Easter contribution will be daffodils and @dearsusanbranch.bsky.social 's Carrot Cake-- the best recipe of all! I'm a little famous for it, so thanks, Sue! If this is your retirement year, I'm going to remember lots of favorite moments I've had because of you! Happy Spring!

8 million No Kings protesters Zero police officers beaten Zero police officers killed Zero feces smeared on walls.

In MEMPHIS — Trump says he told Republicans not to make any deal for TSA funding until he gets his voter suppression bill passed… then in the next breath says Dems are to blame for long airport lines 🤔

The so-called SAVE America Act is about as un-American as it gets.

I know this has circulated with alacrity recently, so you may have already seen it, but if you haven't... WOW BOY HOWDY it's the most useful thing. Thank you cardcatalogforlife.substack.com -- this is a very very very helpful public service: cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

Delphiniums are most accommodating plants. They will grow in almost any kind of soil, light or heavy and they will do their best for us; somehow or other, but they do respond to good treatment. It is not a question of ‘feed the brute’ but ‘feed the Beauty’

Should you wish to increase your stock, this month or next is a good time to do it. The old plants can now be lifted and carefully separated into bits with strong roots and young growth. I mean young green growth a couple of inches high. #gardening

If we were left with only one kind of herbaceous perennial, the delphinium would have to rank very high in the list of choices. #gardening

Imagine using that $80 billion to feed and house people instead of building a failed virtual world.

Cricket’s revenge.

Americans are stranded abroad — we all have a responsibility to do everything in our power to safely get them home. The federal government must immediately provide clear evacuation guidance and plans to leave the region. I’m calling on the State Department to take action now.

The fucking drapes. www.marytrump.org/p/priorities...

I guess in other countries, accountability is a thing

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Ramadan Mubarak! Wishing our Muslim neighbors in the #MA7 & around the globe a rewarding month of joy, peace, & community.

Last year, we secured a court victory blocking the Trump Admin from ending the FEMA BRIC program — but the funding still hasn't been restored, leaving communities vulnerable to natural disasters. Today, I filed a brief calling on the courts to enforce the order and resume this life-saving program.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

I really like the new mayor of NYC.

Universal love! Hoosier Hysteria moves to football! @nelliebragg.bsky.social

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Henry loves snow! He comes in every now and then for me to dig out the snowballs from between his toes, then out he goes! Be safe out there! @salfrye.bsky.social @dogdad999.bsky.social @mozartsgirl.bsky.social @nelliebragg.bsky.social @davidbarbour.bsky.social @exaltedaardvark.bsky.social

Happy Thanksgiving! Peace to thee and thine.

Hunting season. Y'all be careful out there. Henry's happy to help!

Frost. Northern Indiana. So much to be Thankful for. Next Thursday and every day.

America is not your sugar daddy, Lindsey.

With just one race left to call (ballots are still being cured), of 222 races up on 11/4, @runforsomething.net had 142 winners, 10 candidates moving to run offs, and 42 (!!!) red to blue flips.

Anybody interested in the last special election of this year, TN 07, might consider following @aftynbehn.bsky.social , the Democratic candidate. She needs national attention and support. TN is deep red, but Tuesday showed us that anything can happen.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

"Hours after the confrontation in Lakeview, dozens of parents stood guard outside a school in Bucktown after hearing ICE and border patrol were in the area. Some parents set up an informal checkpoint next to the school to check cars for immigration agents..." www.reuters.com/world/us/wer...

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

In the 2 weeks after Mamdani won in June, 10k ppl signed up with @runforsomething.net to consider a run for local office - our biggest surge *ever*. Like it or not (& I do!!) he's shaping the future of the Democratic Party. If you want something different, get other people to run.

Evanston, IL-- home of many friends who were in this line. They are DONE w brutality in their streets.

If he wasn't in the #EPSTEIN_Files, a hardbound copy embossed in gaudy gold would be readily available for sale at his MAGA Merch site for the low, low price of $500, or IF YOU ACT NOW, a personally signed copy for the more-than-reasonable price of $1K: Courtesy of the gross greedy #GrifterInChief.💰

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. The key to success is just getting up every morning and doing your best. That's what my 102-yr-old friend tells me. Happy Monday!

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 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.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Henry and I hope you're having the wonderful-est birthday ever!! Lots and lots and LOTS of love! @mozartsgirl.bsky.social

Marching today? Consider running for office next. @runforsomething.net will help you get started. runforwhat.net
