Just got back from a nearly 2 hour ski. Lake ice is solid but I stayed near shore to be safe. Check this out.

The moon is so bright that it is making these great shadows from our oak trees.

rfk jr wants to kill your kids, it’s really that simple.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

Here's my play list from today's show.

Health care is the #1 issue for Wisconsin families — and I’m the only candidate in this race who’s actually worked inside the system. I’ve been a nurse, a public health leader, and now Lt. Governor, and I know what it takes to fix what’s broken.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it? Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean. He served for 37 years.

AOC: This is how our healthcare system got deregulated. People talking about Americans should have the personal choice of getting totally fleeced by insurance companies.

“Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” Carpenter said in a post on X.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

If You Are Afraid To Do Your Public Service Job, You Need To Resign Immediately…..

They call this a truck 😂 No wonder I've only ever seen one of these abominations in the wild up here and that was in the summer lol

Stephen Miller’s Wife @katiemiller : “Can you cite the statute that makes the boat bombings illegal?” @bakarisellers.bsky.social : “The due process clause in the constitution.”

And it goes on. The man is completely unraveling. Bombing boats, threatening invasions “to stop drugs,” and now promising a full pardon to a president convicted of trafficking 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. This isn’t law and order. It’s the most lawless presidency in American history.👇

Wow, this Ireland ad about protecting your kids on your online posts. It might give you pause….think before you post about their activities.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words: “Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.” That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

A new Danish study, covering over 1 million children born between 1997 and 2018, was published in 2025 and its findings are decisive. The study “confirms that routine childhood vaccines do not cause autism spectrum disorder.” These findings counters the misinformation that continues to circulate.👇

Every claim falls apart when you actually look at the science.👇

“It is a shame the father put the child in that environment and then left the child alone in a car,” Ms. McLaughlin wrote. The father was separated from his daughter by CBP. It is surreal and perverse to then blame the father for leaving the daughter. Everyone in DHS lies.

And they’re gonna give this guy $1 trillion? electrek.co/2025/11/10/t...

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow. She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Be careful what you share, Ivanka. Some of us actually read the rest of the story.👇

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

It’s about people’s lives. @aoc.bsky.social

So many questions…🤔

A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

Dems held out for 40 days for nothing?

"They said they were punished in a dark room called the island, where they were trampled, kicked and forced to kneel for hours. One man said officers thrust his head into a tank of water to simulate drowning. Another said he was forced to perform oral sex on guards wearing hoods."

Before the disgusting GOP cut SNAP and are now fighting court orders ordering them to quit their psychosis & feed Americans, they cut USAID which has already *starved 100’s of 1000’s of human beings worldwide to death.* Barbaric isn’t enough to describe such depravity. *Well* past “politics.” 🆘🇺🇸
