Iowa Leads The Way statuskuo.substack.com/p/iowa-leads...

Pretty soon all economic and jobs data released by the federal government will be handwritten with a black Sharpie

The Rocky Horror Picture Show has officially joined the One Million Watched Club on Letterboxd 💋

It just keeps coming… CBS uncovered a mystery third person caught on jailhouse cameras the night Epstein died. Not named. Not mentioned in the DOJ report. Spotted near his cell just after 4 a.m., two hours before he was found dead. Why now? Somebody wants this out.

Please pay attention.👇 We cannot afford to leave our democracy in the hands of a process that requires this DOJ to act in good faith. We must act now to harden our election systems. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

Bitching about a low birth rate when you make it virtually impossible and even life threatening to actually have and raise children is beyond evil

Yes. But this will be entirely lost on @RepTimBurchett, sadly

In his attempt to spin another story about how he broke up with the late child sex trafficker, Donald Trump said something truly disturbing about one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Giuffre.

And the lies about this bill are already in full force! SSA sent an email saying 90% of SSA beneficiaries will no longer pay fed income taxes on benefits. WRONG! LIES! Of course it's much more complicated-it's a $6K tax break for 2025-2028 for folks over 65 w MAGI up to $75K-est 40% of benes.

Name them and shame them. #FlipCongressBlue

Time to pick a side, America. Is this the future you want for us?

I'm stealing this, but here's something in exchange.

The audacity of Burgum showing up at a national park saying he appreciates the staff is astounding. Kudos to the folks who called him out! #AltCitizen ✊ @altdoi.altgov.info @altwasonps.bsky.social @altacadia.bsky.social @altmtrainier.com

Posting this because I didn't see much in my feed on Gaza today. These are real people lives. I'm not sure what we can do....but we can do a LOT more than this.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms and mother-figures! Michelle, the girls and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. We love you.

Tariffs... And the economy... I just want to shout out how much I love avocados. I'm bracing for them to get more expensive for one reason...not drought, or infestation, but because of one man's 80s fever dream of big, beautiful tariffs & power. Guessing Mar-a-lago will have plenty.

There is so much coming at us... Today I'm calling out the looming import crisis of avocados. It's not the most important thing, by far, but I REALLY like avocados...and Mr. "people only need two dolls" probably has an unlimited supply at his club (that we're paying for)...

I'm joining our local "Fight Fascist Friday" event today. It's kind of amazing how satisfying sign-waving is...especially with so many good reactions from drivers, and the like-minded people that are able to stand with me. Plus, I get outside and a little exercise. Hope you have a great day!

I heard Trump signed a new Executive Order against Act Blue... He's done several EOs for revenge like he promised...where's his EO for lower prices for you and me? Oh. Right. He doesn't give a sh!t about US.

It's a beautiful day in the PNW...protested earlier outside a local SSA office along with a small but earnest group. Looking forward to another one tomorrow-should be a bigger crowd on a Friday evening! We are not going away-we are getting stronger.

Gotta love Banksy!

So, Poor folks can't afford groceries. Middle-class retirement savings being wiped out. Even billionaires are taking big hits. All for one deranged man's 80s fever-dream of tariffs.

Yesterday, I had to tell my kids their inheritance is going to be much less than I expected. It's not as bad as sending folks to an El Salvadoran prison without due process or firing good people for no reason, but it meant a lot to me. This administration just sucks all around! And for what??

Thought for the day: Billionaires can afford to lose millions from Trump's obsession with tariffs. Most of us can't. How many people that are losing their retirement savings right now are going to VOTE in the midterms? GOP-who do you think they'll vote for?

Cape Disappointment never disappoints. #photo #photography #ocean #landscape #nature

Manifesting this in the near future...

He did it!!! Way to go Senator Booker!!!!

JUST IN: Judge Hollander has issued a *second* letter today warning Social Security acting commissioner Dudek not to shut down all operations over her order barring DOGE's access to sensitive systems. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Cutting wasteful spending is a good thing. Are the culprits really climate and cancer research, veterans' services, national parks, and financial oversight? Or is this just propaganda? The real cost falls on working Americans. #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/SO7yBo4h

I love Bluesky. I love being able to chime in on the news of the day (and there's a LOT of chaos and confusion and lies). Have to come back to - has he done ANYTHING at all to lower prices? An executive order...a GOP-authored congressional bill? Anything?

Shout out to the two astronauts back on Earth today-whoo hooo!
