Posting this pic right now for no particular reason. Actually, not true — posting it because it tells you something about what kind of man Walz is, and something about what Minnesota kids think of him. www.sosaznetwork.org/wp-content/u...

I was surprised when Vance said before the ‘24 election that he was fine with creating stories, i.e., lying to the American people, to push his agenda didn’t receive more pushback in the media. Now that we know, of course, there’s no reason to believe a single thing he says.

From SFGATE: “Warriors game in Minnesota postponed after another ICE shooting” I hope they interview Steve Kerr about what’s happening in Minneapolis; I ‘m sure he would have some choice words to impart, and I’d love to hear them.

Have they started the investigation into the victim yet?

Instead of the bullshit history-denying celebration Trump is planning for 250th July 4, there ought to be a giant country-wide protest, bigger than No Kings, huge, like no one’s ever seen before!

I would love to see some journalist(s) do a formal “compare and contrast” of this bellicose Trump speech today with the generous Biden speeches in Europe less than 2 years ago at the D-Day commemoration honoring those who fought, sacrificing so much, to preserve freedom for all of us.

Honestly, was not hoping for this, but contrary to my earnest hopes and wishes for my country, the current POTUS makes this novel more relevant than ever on a daily basis: www.amazon.com/Adoration-An...

The Stupidest Trump Move So Far open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug... The answer to the question he asks at the end is: Sadly, most likely, yeah.

He wants ownership of Greenland as that appeals to his personal psychology🤦‍♂️. Historically, of course, military activity done to appeal to one man’s psychological state has been the work of monarchs and dictators. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

We get 19 minutes (and 30 seconds) every night,” Ms. Harvey added. “We need to nail it.” They didn’t “nail it.” Instead, they screwed it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/b...

CNBC app headline just now: Sen. Kelly sues DOD Sec. Hegseth, says he was punished for ‘disfavored political speech’ I, for one, just want to say that I favor his political speech!

How shocking it was (at least to me) to see all those “Mass Deportation Now” signs at the ‘24 RNC,” and as I believe a majority in this country finds the ICE and CBP implementation of that policy deplorable, Dem ‘26 oft-repeated mantra ought to be: End Mass Deportation Now!

It’s almost like they had a crystal ball that showed what was gonna happen 80 years down the road. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Thinking of writing a book about this administration and titling it “Ghouls and Goons.”

He must be talking about how the administration and its lackeys are reporting on it, right?

Just listened to the 1/06 report on NPR’s 1A and am happy to report they did not both sides it.

Although there are exceptions, as a general rule of thumb, denizens of a country don’t like foreign invaders, especially those who proceed to steal the natural riches of their country.

Small point relative to every else going on, but when did kinetic, a word referring to motion and generally first encountered in school with respect to a certain type of energy, become a code word for military? I don’t approve of the usurpation of this word!

The NYT doesn’t do everything right, but, boy, does the editorial board ever nail this editorial! With respect to McConnell, imho, a terrible senator and leader, and his decision not to vote to convict Trump and lead his caucus to do so has led us to where we are 😔. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/o...

Well, hell, if they’re not gonna give me credit for peace-making, I’ll start wars all over the place, first Venezuela, then Colombia, maybe Greenland, keeping open the possibilities of Canada, Nigeria, and Yemen. That’ll show ‘em!

I’m glad this worked out to help police id the guy, but the story is strange. The tipster encounters the guy in a bathroom 1-2 hours before the shooting, finds his clothing odd, so he tails him out of the building and around some local streets. Just seems weird. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Good history lesson here, as there is most days in her substack, but perhaps most relevant to today is the paragraph 6th from bottom. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Fictional conversation that takes place in November 2016 shortly after a certain election. I think Sasha was onto something here, particularly with respect to the part about eight years. In fact, in year five alone…

Just another reason to love Costco. Not going along with Trump in any fashion; fighting back. CNBC headline this morning: Costco sues Trump admin seeking tariff refunds before Supreme Court rules if they’re illegal

Love this story! I wonder if any other national media outlets will take it up. Free the buses! Free the buses! Iowa City Made Its Buses Free. Traffic Cleared, and So Did the Air. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/c...

NYT today: “Iowa City Made Its Buses Free. Traffic Cleared, and So Did the Air. Ridership jumped, people cut back on driving and, over the summer, the city extended the program another year.” Oy, communism here, right here, in the heart of the country. What will become of us?😂😂

Lede in NYT story today: President Trump has been dining with billionaires and has taken a keen interest in crises overseas, leading to fears that he is drifting away from his more populist stances. Drifting away? Hey NYT, how ‘bout considering the possibility that those stances were all bullshit?

NYT headline tonight: The Shutdown Is Ending. When Will Things Get Back to Normal? Hahaha, NYT, do you really think there will ever be anything that resembles normalcy in the government during this administration? So, in answer to the question, the earliest possible date is late January 2029.

CNBC headline: White House says October jobs and inflation data may never be released because of the shutdown So, the numbers were that horrible, huh?

So, let me get straight what happened here. The POTUS imposed more and more painful conditions (including starvation) upon the American people (while he played golf and hosted a Gatsbyesque party) so that enough Dem senators would relent to allow him to impose another painful condition. Huh.

So, in other words, let’s go back to the pre-ACA days, which we all remember was just the best. Unrelated, I will go to the golf course today, where between the 5th green and 6th tee, I will end my seventy-first war. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hey Jersey Mike, you listening?

Gonna go out on a limb and say tonight’s election results are even more impressive and exciting than the No Kings rallies a few weeks ago. Perhaps the country and its democracy are not done for.

Hey GOP congressmen from swing districts, you might want to consider walking, if not running, away from Trump starting tomorrow or even tonight.

The biggest question of the night now in NJ is whether Jack Ciattarelli will run again in ‘29? — for the 4th time!

So, once again I find myself trying to reason with election season😬. (Shamefully, I borrowed from Jimmy Buffett’s rhyme ‘bout hurricane season.)

That new (this is from January 2019) Dem rep from the Boulder region mentioned here is, of course, Joe Neguse, who has proved to be a terrific rep. As evidenced here, he’s very, very good at this. Would love to see him on a national ticket, sooner rather than later.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t think this unitary executive theory thing is working out.

Trump saying the physical structure of the White House wouldn’t be interfered with and then having a portion of the East Wing knocked down is completely reminiscent of his promise to the Met not to destroy the Art Deco friezes of the Bonwit Teller building.

CNBC headline” ‘No Kings' protests against Trump bring a street party vibe to cities nationwide But I was told they would be attended by violent Hamas/Antifa terrorists. But instead, street parties? Huh.

Savannah, blue Georgia!

I’m confident that if Sasha were not a fictional character, not only would she be attending a No Kings protest rally tomorrow but she’d be an organizer of that rally. www.amazon.com/Adoration-An...

Hey, New Jersey, please make this Saturday not only No Kings Day but also No MAGA Governor Day!
