Friends, a madman is in charge of the country — but almost no Republican member of Congress, no major CEO or university president or head of a major foundation seems willing to sound the alarm. These people are all cowards. Where are America's leaders? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC0vKzRmPos

Trump sued his own government to pay himself $10 billion in taxpayer funds. He even said: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself." It's not strange. It's corrupt.

I’m gonna post this video every day so we NEVER FORGET what Donald Trump did to the USA on Jan 6th

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

Wednesday weirdness. Turned on TCM and I see this barechested guy leading a band of Indians. I thought, why is he the only one not wearing a shirt? Then it hit me,"That's Bill Shatner, of course!" "White Comanche", 1967, which I had never seen before.

It's been 60 days since the President started his illegal war with Iran. According to the law, he must withdraw troops NOW.

They should be issuing a tsunami warning. Because when gas hits $5 a gallon, elections don’t go the way people in power think they will. And yet, you’ve got Republicans giving Trump an A on the economy. An A. With prices surging. They see the wave coming. They’re just pretending it’s not there.

🩸🩸🩸 Every day, I’m sharing this video to remind us of the actions of the 34x POS convicted felon 🔥 who incited political violence—adjudicated rapist & pedophile Donald Trump—on January 6th! 🩸🩸🩸 👇👇👇 THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE!

🚨BREAKING: A Virginia circuit court has refused to block the implementation of Democrats’ new congressional map, which voters approved in a statewide special election last week. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

That tracks.

The Moon over Northern Illinois tonight.

Feeding the Dolphins at the Shedd Aquarium Chicago.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran. These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East. And they put Trump's ego before America. Every damn time.

There is no cease fire! Staggering how many news outlets continue to accept the word of con-men, lying liars, grifters, and ungainly weirdos.

Civilization Annihilation! Tonight at 8pm, 7 Central. Don't Miss Must See TV, watch it on NBC!

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

Moonshot Monday.

Happy First Contact Day!

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'" These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now. Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

14th Amendment (1868): “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Seems pretty clear to me.

Dow Jones closed at 45,577.47 On January 21, 2025, the Dow Jones closed at 44,025.81 45,577.47 - 44,025.81 ——————- 1,551.66 Stocks down, gas and food up, national debt now $39 trillion… … and Trump is good on the economy? No one voted for this

I like Starfleet Academy, but doing a 15 to 20 minute open before the title credits, why? You're already a third of the way thru the episode, it feels like an afterthought. Title sequences are the invitation to the viewer 'Look! isn't this cool! Watch this!' Streaming is killing the art.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Summary; no objectives and no exit strategy, apparently we just keep going until Trump gets tired, or leaves office, and the next president cleans up the mess. In the meantime a lot of people die.

Chicago lost in a cloud bank this morning.

The rot starts at the top, The Boss thinks these meme videos make him look tough, so they vie for his approval with this garbage.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Watching "Nixon in China" this evening. If Trump had any class or culture he'd be eating his heart out to have an opera written about him. youtu.be/FJmXMo9nWRU?...

Reading that screed actually caused the speech center of my brain to freeze up for moment.

On the plus side, Kristi Noem just got more free time to finally catch those Dalmatians

Americans cared so much about all the terrible mistakes that happened when Bush invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, causing unfathomable harm to our military and veterans that the American people elected a person dumber than Bush who has now started a war with Iran. Don't thank me for my service, ever.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

This evenings Moonshot.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

No cats, but Blaise is eyeballing that blueberry muffin with a fierce desire.

A little phone 📸 of Old Luna, just because.

My follower count here has been skyrocketing lately, now 17k! And I am not even posting cat pictures. Go figure. Lot's of accounts with 0 posts...Welcome anyhow y'all.

It's that day again. #TwinPeaks

Watching "The Tale of Zatoichi" 1962. The blind samurai keeps his code of honor, in the midst of a gang war.

@malcolmnance.bsky.social Sr. Chief. So is the Balloon actually going up in Iran or is it all Trump bluster?

CBS just can't handle the truth; they keep kneeling before the autocrat occupying the White House. The more they try to supress, the more resistance will arise. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

A mighty oak has fallen. I've written about Rev. Jesse Jackson many times over the years, and spoken with him at length. A controversial figure, without a doubt, but as I learned more about the man, writing this, I came to respect him. He was heroic. www.everygoddamnday.com/2026/02/rev-...

Civil rights leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson has died at age 84. We're remembering several of his visits on WGN Radio.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who led the Civil Rights Movement for decades after King, has died at 84

Wow.
