Captain Mark Kelly earned his rank. Now his decades of service are being attacked by a drunk and a draft dodger. All because he reminded our military to stay true to their oath, his right as both a veteran and an American.

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory What caused the Great Depression? Most people would say the stock market crash of 1929. That was probably the No. 1 factor, but the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 made it worse. The act raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods by almost 60%. /1

Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

The Oregon DOJ is asking a judge to block the construction of an ICE detention facility in Newport -- a facility no one is sure is actually coming. www.opb.org/article/2025...

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Lots of info on this site was new to me, the names, the crimes, the connections, the pardons. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/12/16/t...

Bongino served for 27 Scaramuccis - that’s long enough to learn nothing and still feel entitled.

REP. @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The biggest ‘welfare queens’ in 🇺🇸 are corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes, and CEOs who get a tax deduction for flying on a private jet — not hungry kids, or working parents who work multiple jobs.”

Ugh. I didn't even need to click to know it was Bison, yet again 🙄 To paraphrase a popular saying: "I do not support all local coffee shops. Some of you have extremely bad politics!"

I love unique/weird fishing trips and this was a doozy. We hiked across mud canyons and past ancient ruins, across the bottom of a reservoir, to hook trout in an Oregon river that only forms for a few weeks just outside Eugene. The fishing is surprisingly good, too: tinyurl.com/2j59b5ye

A “strong” atmospheric river is forecast to hit Oregon and the PNW early next week and could bring minor flooding. Got the details on where, when and how much rain is pouring (and some depressing news about its lack of snowfall in the mountains): tinyurl.com/56xj5pz7

Holy shit 🫡🤣

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

What would you bet that the Trump administration is parsing the differences between “follow” and “abide by”

SCENES FROM WAR RAVAGED PORTLAND! OMG! The horror… the horror

Naturally.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor SLAMS Pam Bondi: “Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalise free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed.”

Jennings: He does not have a right to have a TV show where he lies his ass off to the American people and attacks half this country on a nightly basis Phillip: There are plenty of people over on another network who lied about the last election, who denigrate half the country every single night.

Checking in on this

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

I Stand With Jimmy Kimmel! 

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. In other words, I am the *opposite* of his cowardly employer.

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

He's such a slug.... 🤦🏻‍♂️😠

Really sad news: A beloved local bike shop in Salem has closed its doors for good. It’s yet another hit for local outdoor shops in Oregon that continue to disappear: tinyurl.com/shtra726

The data and fire models said not to worry. But Nikki Swanson couldn’t shake the feeling something awful was coming. So she pushed for a mass evacuation of the Jeff Wilderness, moving hundreds of people from the path of what became the worst wildfire disaster in Oregon history: tinyurl.com/rpvt94h5

There’s not a single Republican lawmaker with the basic civic decency to say this is fundamentally wrong. History will condemn each and every one of them.

The barking yam confirms that Pritzker is really getting under his skin. Cool. He drags out all his tired old insults, thinking they are so powerful. Keep it up, Governor.

Whoopsy

NY GOV. KATHY HOCHUL: “If we refuse to fight for our democracy, we’re doomed to lose it… bullies in Texas are not going to intimidate us.”

“Listen, DT is a piece of shit -we know that. But in a functioning democracy, he still wouldn’t be able to get away w this. He’s been able to get away w it bc the 🏠 Repubs r complicit, Senate Repubs r complicit, & most importantly, the SCOTUS is complicit…” WE NEED MORE ELECTEDS LIKE CROCKETT 🔥🔥

How about some healthcare right here on Earth? I don’t really need a nuclear reactor on the moon.

🤬🤬🤬

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still love this & it's true 🥰🥰🥰
