Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

A great deal of our problems result from not holding those who tried to destroy our democracy accountable for their actions.

We lost both our girls - Syd (right) and Nancy - within three months - so hard to deal with - but I am sure they would have wanted to appear on #caturday every now and again, as they loved making friends.

Almost 10 years ago. When dealing with rough patches, I turned to her for comfort. If you find yourself struggling with anything happening in your life, don’t just internalize it. Find something or someone to help. My therapist at the time just happened to be four-legged

Italy: COVID is advancing and the flu is already here. Over 2,800 COVID cases reported last week nationwide, up from 2,000, fueled by the Stratus (XFG) variant. Of samples, 19% were COVID, 6% other coronaviruses, with a few isolated flu cases detected.

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

Are y'all beginning to see who the problem is yet? The pedophile with biggest megaphone, the president of the United States, continues to be the biggest instigator of violence. Fuck Trump, fuck MAGA, and fuck all fascists. 😳👇

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed. Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing. Both sides!

This is why I don’t garden tidily. Letting this rocket flower is giving the bees somewhere to forage though today’s breeze is making clinging on challenging! #bees #UKGardening #cotswolds

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS (CNN, live-on air just now): Despite what FBI director Kash Patel previously posted, the FBI does *not* have a suspect in custody in the shooting of Charlie Kirk. The person behind this despicable act unfortunately remains at large.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

In April, I called on the FTC to investigate Meta for its violations of my Children's Online Privacy Protection Act on its Horizon Worlds platform. Since then? Nothing. Now, there is more evidence Meta violated COPPA. The FTC needs to enforce the law and stop this egregious conduct.

Public media is at risk. Congress is considering deep funding cuts to PBS, threatening the shows, local coverage, and educational programming that have shaped generations. Visit ProtectMyPublicMedia.org for more. #SavePBS

Support public media.

Had a good time at the Reagan Library discussing the American Revolution with Fred Ryan.

And now a word from the Oval Office....

I stand with @pbs.org and their efforts to carry on the legacy of the CPB. "For $5/month or $60/yr you get access to PBS Passport and the entire Masterpiece library plus Great Performances, etc. Defunded but not defeated." www.pbs.org/passport/lea...

There is nothing more important than supporting our children and helping them learn. The loss of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting will have devastating results for generations to come. www.npr.org/2025/08/01/n...

me driving to get lettuce because i can't afford a home in a walkable neighborhood after an american knife maker voted a certain way without realizing he needs swedish steel

still thinking about the Montana knife maker who said you don't have to worry about tariffs if you buy american. and then three months later, he realized he imports swedish steel and german equipment. and even MiUSA equipment costs $100k more now because of tariffs

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

Thou shalt not pardon a convicted child molester. This one should be easy to follow.

So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...

Welcome to America; where our president is publicly saying nice things about, giving immunity to, and suggesting a possible pardon for a well-connected child sex trafficker. But I’m sure he’s got a good reason.

🤣

When TrumpleThinSkin went to the Federal Reserve the other day it was to try and flex on "cost overruns" as red meat to his slobbering base. That's why Powell's verbal disembowelment was so satisfying. EVERYONE needs to start factchecking his ass in real time. He would quickly lose his power.

While the Department of Justice is meeting in secret with Ghislaine Maxwell to coach her on testimony, it is hiding from us three discs containing court-authorized recordings of her phone calls. [Source: ABC News] That is the REAL evidence. And this is a cover-up.
