🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153,000 government salary. Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!” Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short. Texans deserve better.

Made a new meme.

Excellent reporting on the Historical progress to Fascism and how it relates today. A bit long but it includes excellent data and background along with modern perspectives. www.facebook.com/share/v/1PYj...

Bluesky is drying up for me. It’s just friend packs of people trying to grow audiences and eventually monetize a large base. I’d rather have a few like minds & digital friends who actually comment & interact with me. I hardly post anymore. Nobody sees it. I can talk to an empty room elsewhere.

Billionaires aren’t Batman. They are users who have given up on the planet and humanity for their own narrow greed. apple.news/A0LXexqiIRfe...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Another Fake Trump assassination attempt tonight on anyone’s bingo card?

So the Trump Administration can’t bribe their way through the Iran negotiations. No hotels or golf courses are attractive to Iran. What are Kushner, Witkoff & Vance presenting with their “Mob boss” mentality? so Trump takes over the blockade. Is Trump’s “Board of Gimmie a Piece” needing donations?

Kushner, Vance and Putin’s envoy Witkoff. What a horrible team to pin the hopes of anything substantive happening. Iran will stretch this out for months till the midterms, as Trump’s power wains fighting impeachment and having his hands tied by a Dem house and possibly Senate.

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

Trump could have just quietly grifted and golfed his way through this term. But he wants to make his mark on America & the World in deed and structure. His deeds are documented with a 6 pack of crayons and his structures will be bogged down in court likely never to see the light of day.

Trump praised for not blowing up the world.

It seems to me that people will vote for democrats more for what they don’t do: attacking our Capital, starting wars, increasing deficits, destroying freedoms, and protecting pedophiles, than what they actually do.

We shouldn't all be forced to live in this episode of The Twilight Zone constantly. This is no way to live.

Here we are! youtu.be/Tj9M34DzAKo?...

Iranians are in the dark about what is happening in this war. They are only hearing their governments line. They want more information. If only we had a way to get that to Iranians. You know what used to do that? Voice of America- which Trump killed.

Oligarchs’ plan is for our entire lives to become a subscription service we all pay for until we can’t afford “life” and die leaving the corporations our property.

These Billionaires and the Trump/State GOP are conspiring to use AI to take jobs in a huge scale. Nobody is thinking about the ramifications of 100’s or 1000’s of white collar positions being wiped out by data centers we built with tax $$, that, once built, will only need a few dozen workers.

Trump wants to shred everything. apple.news/AQl1TBolKTY6...

Trump sounds exactly like my MAGA Uncles sitting in the East Texas piney woods spouting FOX News. Americans should expect more.

On the heels of NO KINGS, it’s time to face the work ahead. The Senate does not have enough votes to pass the SAVE Act. But it is still active and up for debate. Tell your Senators. NO SAVE Act. Let’s get the job done. Call (202) 224-3121 or bit.ly/4hZ7BK7 @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

🚨 Attention All 2026/28 Democratic Campaign Candidates Here’s your Commercial! Anyone know a good hacker that can run a loop of this clip on every airport terminal monitor in America?

Trump elected. Ukraine abandoned. Putin wins. Trump focuses on his personal enemies. American unification fractures. Putin wins. Trump policies bankrupt America. Alienates NATO. Putin wins. Trump invades Iran. Russia sanctions lifted. Russia supports Iran. Putin wins. Seeing a pattern?

Marquain Mullin’s departure from the Senate opens a seat in Oklahoma’s Senate in 2026. I see a LOT of frustration from Oklahomans with their current political outcomes: bottom of the Nation Education, etc. might we have an opportunity to move a Talarico style Candidate into that position?

Lack of health insurance kills FAR more Americans every year than Iran ever has. But Trump & Hegseth want $200B for war instead of care. That’s not “national security” — that’s national neglect. #HealthcareNotWarfare WE WANT HEALTHCARE NOT WAR OR ICE AGENTS

As time has gone on I've realized there is a still quite small but now non-trivial chance that the entire Iran War is simply an insider trading operation, creating repeated black swan moments and relying on markets continued willingness to gyrate wildly in the face of absurd and predictably ...

The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…

Watching both sides of this war blatantly manipulate the US stock market is maddening.

Seems like he’s talking about his 💩🤡🤡🤡administration.

You may wonder why Trump bundled trans issues into the SAVE Act. It’s because many Republican voters will vote against their self-interest if they have the chance to marginalize trans people.

If you find yourself confused by Trump’s irrational, UnAmerican, unhinged policy choices the most logical reason is incompetence, stupidity, graft and hubris. If you think it’s “3D Chess” you’re watching way too many “Trump explainer” YouTube conspiracy videos.

Meta paid an effective fed tax rate of 3.5% on its latest tax bill — its lowest on record. Mark Zuckerberg's net worth just hit $222 billion. And Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates. Now it's reportedly planning to lay off 15,000 workers. Hello?

GOP: the mail is secure enough to receive your photo ID, social security card, your debit and credit cards, your stimulus checks, and your tax returns Also GOP: the mail is not safe enough for voting

The GOP could be compared to rats: self dealing and hungry. But I think they are more like roaches. Rats will leave a sinking ship.

Putin carries around Trump’s balls in a sack made out of the skins of 14 year old girls.

Pentagon briefing included a story of a soldier’s excitement at blowing up Iranian targets and likely people. Killing people, even enemies, should be done with sober judgement, not joy.

Trump stealing, sending gov contracts to his sons & friends, outright selling pardons, selling America short and choosing winners & losers based on how much #$TRUMP coin they buy is not legal just because he’s not hiding it.

Inside a $50 million Venezuelan lobbying deal and a court battle ensnaring White House power brokers — including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and chief of staff Susie Wiles.

Is the Board of Peace bored of peace?

FTA-““Since the war began Saturday, Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft, said the three officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.” apple.news/AGZvEHh0WTPC...

Trump is burning through taxpayer dollars on wars just like he burned through his father’s money in the 80s.

Our democracy deserves a cleanup. My DISCLOSE Act is the solution.

Trump is selling the USA short through his sons with insider knowledge.

Patel has not rehired the FBI Iran experts he fired right before the Iran strike. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

DHS has billions to buy prisons and enlist troops but no money to update the Terrorist Threat level? A political move. This administration doesn’t give a rats ass about Americans. www.dhs.gov/national-ter...

Question: Is an entire new war with Billion$ on the line and 4 dead (so far) with no plan worse than “Benghazi”? Asking for a Conservative Party.

Trump’s “state department emissaries” consisting of ultra rich real estate developers was not able to pull off the complex negotiations needed to forestall war with Iran. Weird.

I Wonder what Eric and Don jr. are doing today and how much Trump will make off the insider knowledge they have on the war and companies involved. Who will they buy and what will they sell short?
