This is not to say you can't donate food. Just don't go grocery shopping specifically to donate the food. Give them the money you would have spent on groceries.

I just changed the channel again because of another one of those atrocious ASPCA ads with the abused dogs. They say every second matters but then take minutes to make videos instead of immediately helping the dogs. So far no more MSNBC and WEtv today. Am I the only one that objects to those ads?

Keeping the House Absent, Johnson Marginalizes Congress and Himself www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

One week from right now, millions of Americans will gather in every state for the biggest day of peaceful protest in American history. Join your local No Kings Day event to make it clear that We The People won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education. America’s children deserve better than this.

We’re entering another week of Mike Johnson refusing to bring back House Republicans or swear in Adelita Grijalva. Like this if you agree Republicans need to show up, do the work, or find new work.

Stephen Miller Says Trump has “Plenary Authority”. He does not. Plenary authority means ultimate authority that doesn’t answer to anyone else. Our Constitution provides for checks and balances so that no one would have that kind of authority. Join a NO KINGS protest on Oct 18th. Mobilize.us

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million. Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals. Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

@klobuchar.senate.gov Why are the mergers/buyouts media companies are currently trying to get approved not being rejected on antitrust grounds?

The first spam phone call arrived this morning at 5:52 am. There have been 11 more spam calls and it is only 2:29 pm. Why can't, or doesn't, our government stop these calls? We can't block them because they spoof the Caller ID and phone number. This will go on till around 7 pm.

I don't see him as photogenic.

In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided

Vance is having family trips all over the world. Who is paying for these trips? Does he ever do anything besides vacation?

Are they going to arm wrestle? Compare fists? Threaten tariffs?

Trump was impeached, twice. Considering posting this every day until the Smithsonian corrects its exhibit. Feel free to join me.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Cloud seeding is nothing new. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_s...

I just received the fourth call today from people offering to get me money owed from an auto accident in the last 2 years. This has been going on every week day for months. Do these people really think that after hanging up on 1000+ calls, I will suddenly want to talk to their "lawyer"?

@msnbc.com is showing flood damage on the right side of the screen during the TX governor's presser which means that we can't see both hands of the person translating for the blind.

Today (14 June 2025) is National Skunk Day.

Do today's NYT Wordle.

Send in the DOGE guys. The waste if running amok in the DOJ.

Trump doesn't seem to realize that he is within the scope of eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse objective?

Putin wants all Ukrainian forces out of Russia as a condition for peace talks. Ukraine should demand that all Russian forces leave Ukraine then. Seems fair.

I hate watching speeches where there are two people sitting behind the speaker who keep popping up and down.

I have more followers on Bluesky after a few months than I did after years on X. I haven't set out to get followers on either. I just post what I think.

Ignoring the values of the two sides, $2 trillion in savings does not pay for $4 trillion in expenses.

Elon Mush said, in the Oval Office, today that they were being transparent by putting info on the DOGE website, which says: "An official website of the United States government DOGE Logo Department of Government Efficiency The people voted for major reform." I don't see any transparency there.

We the taxpayer are paying an extra ~$800,000 per fllght so Trump can use military planes instead of charters for his deportations. I assume he is doing this to get photo-ops. This is confirmed by seeing Dr. Phil standing there watching them load. Where are DOGE and the HSS IG when you need them?

Any bets on how long before Pete Hegseth imbibes on a nip of alcohol He should be tested daily.

Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power. REPOST if you stand with Bishop Budde against Trump!

This (AP Photo/Adam Gray) of Rudy Giuliani leaving the Manhattan federal court in New York, on Friday, Jan. 3, 2025 looks just like the work of the courtroom sketch artist's which he complained makes him look like a dog.

I just watched today's State of the Union show. Once again a Republican member of Congress doesn't know the name of the political party it is criticizing -- and the mediator didn't correct him. It is the Democratic Party, not the Democrat Party. Its members are Democrats.

Can someone explain the purple answer on today's Connections. They are the 4 words were what was left after I got the other 3 groups. They gave it a group name that I don't understand. NAMES FEATURING "!" -- AIRPLANE, JEOPARDY, PINK, YAHOO

@senjoniernst.bsky.social You should form a group of about 12 responsible Republican Senators and divide up the disastrous nominees so everyone only has to vote against 2-3 and not make a huge target of any one of you.

Deporting US citizens because of the actions of their parents has got to be unconstitutional and illegal. We don't send children to prison when their parents break the law and are send there.

Once again I awoke to a robocall wanting to tell me about all the great Medicare Advantage plans. I have been getting at least 2 such calls a day -- all hours. Why do telemarketers think that after I have hung up on them 30 times, I will buy their spiel on the 31st call? I just don't get it.

@jonathancapehart.bsky.social I just switched off your Saturday show. Why? Because of another of those horrible ASPCS commercials.

When I first saw it, I thought this ad was going to be for perfume. I doesn't say expensive cars to me.

I just spent a couple of frustrating hours trying to place orders on Amazon and Instacart. On both websites, it was hard to do what I wanted because I had to wade through an endless supply of "Recommendations". 1/2
