give this lady a sock and a piano accompaniment and she would tear the party UP

Very Trump-era story. 1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum. 2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property! 3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property. 4. The person who did the right thing was fired. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

Sure, old-fashioned foreign aid may have been inefficient, and maybe even a little corrupt. But today’s aid (with proven strategies such as empowering women, helping small farmers join the global market & climate-smart agriculture) gives people reasons to work hard, produce & stay where they live.

It is raining here a bit today and it knocks down the harvest dust yet makes for slick roads (summer gunk on roadway turns to slime).

Rain during almond harvest here in the 70s meant an unexpected day off for us laborers. The Central Valley town taverns and country bars would see a windfall of day drinkers and pool players. Good memories.

(Reuters) - The Federal Communications Commission said Wednesday it has furloughed 1,044 employees -- or 81% of its staff -- and suspended most normal operations after a lapse in U.S. government funding. @reuters.com

The DoD just spent millions of taxpayer dollars to haul in top military leaders so Pete Hegseth could rant about “fat generals” and Trump could ramble about sending troops after Americans because “woke”. Tell me again how we’re making America great again?

"There was nothing chivalrous about Teutonic tournaments. The object was mayhem. A knight entered the lists determined to hack to death as many fellow knights as he could; in one medieval tourney near Cologne, over sixty men were slain." From 'The Arms of Krupp' about Germany. Hegseth types.

Sick, just sick. Whirled peas please.

Pete Hegseth is a caricature of what right-wingers think strength and leadership is, but he just looks pathetic and weak.

Team Europe trolling Trump after winning The Ryder Cup 🤣💀

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are going to shut down the United States government so they do not have to release the Epstein files. Shutting our government down, hurting Americans, to protect pedophiles. How this isn’t the biggest scandal in American history is beyond me.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

He could have stayed at home. It’s the Russians.

⛳ That was some good drama and I enjoyed watching the Ryder Cup event today.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Brutal CEO poll for Trump

Miles, gone 34 years ago this weekend. “People talk about ‘cool,’” he said, “but for us it wasn’t about being cool — it was about trying to find a different sound. The critics called it ‘cool.’ We just called it music.” #RIP

Every time I hear Trump answering questions from a gaggle of reporters I'm struck with how utterly feckless the entire White House Press Corp is. It's not that there aren't some terrific journalists out there doing amazing work, but every time they question Trump they fail miserably at their jobs.

The Secretary of Defense of the United States.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

He really didn't want people to see this so he had it taken down. He probably doesn't want to see photos like this flooding social media either. So it goes....

Amelia Earhart would have wanted the Epstein files released. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Senate Judiciary's Dick Durbin: "The Department of Justice has become a political tool of a vengeful President. President Trump wears his corruption like a badge of honor and defies anyone daring to challenge him."   "Is there one Republican left in Washington who gives a damn?"

I feel bad seeing folks lose their grip on their ability to discern what is the truth.

I rode two escalators today in the same new building, they each had different safety switch configurations. One was a stomp-on button. Foot level. The other was a flip the cover and push. Arm level.

I’m sorry, but is this not the most gorgeous photo ever? Glen, you are just amazing!!
