The Regime is now threatening Social Security and Medicare if the government shutdown doesn’t end. Reminder that Republicans have the power to end the shutdown at ANY TIME. They simply do not care to do so.

Impala lamb.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

Walk in the ‘hood. You know, I just get so many phony followers on BlueSky. Does this happen to you all? The psychology around that seems very odd.
