If lobbyists didn't own this country, we could have nice things like the rest of the modern world, too.

At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.

👏👏👏

My evening plans instead of watching the orange felon lie: -Make a soufflé with my extra eggs & broccoli -Practice guitar -Take a walk As my dad would have said, “I’d rather watch a test pattern”.

So damn ugly…

NYT gift article. There has been an aggressive ramp-up of immigration arrests across the country that has largely occurred outside the public eye with thousands being arrested daily. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/u...

Maggie Haberman is always telling us about stuff that happened a few years ago but she never tells us about what's going on today, because she doesn't have a book to sell yet.

The Republicans, who were so worried about Biden‘s health seem awfully quiet about Mitch McConnell’s three week absence

It’s National Blueberry Day!

And you can bet Trump figured out how to personally benefit from the deals. That’s why he ran for POTUS- to enrich himself.

😆

Today I returned my work equipment- laptop, monitor, camera, headset, speakers, cell phone & office chair. I’m finally retired. Such a strange feeling.

Sunny days

I would like a side-by-side account of the cost of: the Iran war, the reflecting pool, the ballroom, the Qatari plane, the WWE fight; DOJ settlement payoffs (like to Ashli Babbitt) and any other vanity projects I'm missing; compared with all of the "waste and fraud" supposedly saved by the DOGE cuts

I love this!

We’re back from central Washington. So much is changing. Wenatchee is no longer the “apple capital of the world”. Orchards are disappearing, replaced by apartments & luxury homes. I even saw advertising for orchard removal. 😢

Virta makes a gimmicky claim that their program will “reverse” Type 2 diabetes. T2D is treatable but once diagnosed is permanent.

Max the wiener dog lives on the property where we’re staying. He bonded with me.

In upsetting news you may have missed - ~40 detainees in a California concentration camp have been on a hunger strike since *mid-May* Their demands? Basic rights: access to clean food and water and adequate medical care This is happening in our country. We should all be ashamed.

Wenatchee Riverfront Park has a lovely, 2-mile RT walk along the River. Several art pieces, a splash pad for the kids and an active osprey nest with a very vocal mama.

On a little vacation, making my favorite coffee my favorite way. It doesn’t get much better.

We visited Pybus Public Market in Wenatchee. A former steel foundry, it’s now home to several Washington and area food & artisan shops. I left with apricot balsamic vinegar, cheese, wine and a jigsaw puzzle but not before eating some yummy gelato. 😋🍨 They even have a little free library!

Yesterday we went to Leavenworth, a cute little town where all the business are Bavarian-themed, even the McDonald’s and Starbucks! Today we went to Lake Chelan, a beautiful, 50+ mile long lake. The water was so clear! No pics- use your imagination. 😁

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath. Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.

Milkweed galore! Horan Natural Area, Wenatchee. And a fallen nest.

No op-eds in major newspapers that he has major cognitive health issues. No cable news panels exploring whether he has major cognitive health issues. No political reporters in legacy media talking about his cognitive health. They're all too scared to question the naked emperor.

She’s not wrong.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

History will be very kind to Pelley. Not so much to CBS News.

It’s important to take a beat & say it out loud. This is the president of the United States. How undignified. How diminishing of our country. You wouldn’t let your kids talk like this, so why are you willing to tolerate it from the leader of your country?

Has Hegseth finished that “investigation” of what happened on the bombing of the elementary school where all those kids are killed? Americans talked about My Lai for years. Decades. Now nothing seems to matter anymore and we just move on. When do we get the findings from that?

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

An effective push back against GOP culture war tactics? Seems to me it should be.

👏👏👏

The minute Trump said he was sexually attracted to his daughter... His entire career should have ended there.

It's criminal what he's doing as president, and that not one person in his circle will tell him the truth makes them complicit.

Looking at what he's done to the People's House (without Congressional approval, of course), I feel equal parts rage & embarrassment for our country. The Midterms can't come soon enough... #Register&VOTE 🌊

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

Bless them and never forget they made the ultimate sacrifice.

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Donald Trump has done a lot of terrible things to this country over the last decade. But here’s what I think is most insidious of all: Trump has taught Americans that cruelty is strength, that resentment is identity, and that hating other people somehow makes you superior.

Trump isn’t the problem. He is the result of the problem: the racism, ignorance, and selfishness of many people in the United States.

There is absolutely no reason for prediction markets to exist. None.
