“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.” — President Bill Clinton, 1/25/26

Please care for your pets. If you are cold, so are they. Cats feel cold 10° BELOW what YOU feel. They're cold when you may feel fine. Make sure ALL pets have warm beds and plenty of food, treats, and water to see them through. Pets that MUST go outside MUST BE WATCHED & brought in and warmed.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

A lot of people have seen the epstein files. Since it is the will of we, the people to release, now is a great time to leak a tsunami of info if you have it. LFG.

💜 this. Thank you for sharing @butterflygirl24.bsky.social 😘

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesn’t appear that will happen anytime soon though.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

These two sentences, by themselves, literally ought to suffice to establish a diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

The baby was like wait a minute 😅😅

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Dr. Coni: One patient had been receiving treatment with eye drops, but then I didn’t see her for months.. I wondered what had happened to her. When she finally returned, she told me she had lost her Medicaid coverage and couldn’t afford her drops. As a result, she had gone blind in one eye.

Integrity. Honor. Decency. Compassion. There was a time when we had all of those traits in our President. Thank you Pres. Biden for taking the time to respect, recognize, and honor the incredible lives of Melissa and Mark Hortman, as well as their beloved Gilbert.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

Pay attention and focus

If Russia ceases combat operations, the war is over. If Ukraine ceases combat operations, Ukraine is over

More than 1 in 3 Americans rely on Medicaid for health coverage – including nearly half of all children. @5calls.org has a script to call your members of Congress opposing Medicaid cuts here: 5calls.org/issue/protec... @familiesusa.bsky.social has a tool to email them here:

We passed “it can’t happen here” long ago people. It’s happening.

Trump’s White House revealed in a court filing that Musk is not an employee of DOGE and has no decision making authority. If that is true, who is firing all of these people? If Musk has been firing people with no authority, sue him.

Never use AirBnB ever.

Millions of dollars meant to feed soldiers on army bases has been redirected but no one seems to know where or why. 👀 www.smartnews.com/en-us/articl...

Hey, @msnbc.com. Why do you allow your readers to share articles on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and most other major platforms — but NOT Bluesky? Asking for nearly 32 million users.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Do whatever you can however you can. #Resist 💪

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

NIH has cut billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
