Dept. Q on Netflix is an incredible & original detective show. In case you're looking for a new show.

This is the 8,647th time he's said this. 😉

Americans are paying more for groceries, gas, and everything in between. So what is Donald Trump focused on? Building new ways for his family to profit from the presidency. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Imagine If Trump Worked This Hard At Governing

Trump is working harder than ever. Just not to improve the country.

Former Republican Senator Jeff Flake just endorsed Democrat Jon Ossoff. Flake says he is still a conservative Republican, but character matters more than party. Flake warns Mike Collins would be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump. #GASen #CharacterMatters

El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

And yet, they keep doing it even after he made this post.

Agreed. I don’t understand why he wasn’t tried for Jan 6! He didn’t call in the guard, metal detectors removed before his incitement speech, he stood there in tent & watched doing nothing! WHY WASN’T THERE A TRIAL? He should never have been allowed to run! Now, he wants to pay insurrectionists!

❗️Lithuania seeks to establish the production of Ukrainian drones on its territory within the framework of a bilateral agreement on cooperation in the defense industry.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.

Tongue in cheek. But in all seriousness, this really is the Trump/Hegseth/MAGA/Manosphere theory of war. Both in the literal sense that cartoonish displays of try-hard toughness are key to defeating enemies, and in the meta sense that their war effort prioritizes memes for their domestic audience.

Survivors have been on Capitol Hill for months, courageously sharing their stories and demanding accountability. The Senate must listen. Todd Blanche is unfit to serve as our next Attorney General. Every Senator should vote NO.

Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"

The next Dem leaders must be dedicated to overturning everything Trump-related.

He won't live forever & when he dies, so does the party.

Today, the Senate is expected to confirm Todd Blanche to formally lead the DOJ after he ordered the cancellation of a $1.8 billion slush fund aimed at compensating Trump’s allies. But the new deal left in place protections that would give Trump and his family broad immunity from IRS audits.

GOP senators sign off on corrupt immunity deal from IRS audits for Trump and sons

Todd Blanche appears to be on track to lead the DOJ after Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) agreed to the plan.

I've no idea how, but the VA re-approved my Tai Chi after the new, "improved" VA system regused renewal THREE TIMES! I do know a VA nurse from my previous PCP works in Community Care now. Maybe she saw it & approved it? 🤷‍♀️ The VA sucks more now. I didn't know that was possible.

Last week, I learned we have 2 additions to our woodpecker population at our house. I saw a juvenile Red-Breasted Woodpecker at our feeder, so the mating couple done good there. Then I saw a 3rd type of woodpecker--we've had only Downy & Red-Breasted for years: A Red-Headed Woodpecker!

What a surprise. The “peace deal negotiations” Trump talked about yesterday and Republicans saying on Fox that something is “very close” was just more blather and drivel.

There are times I miss teaching my college students about Gothic lit, especially Monster Theory & how monsters are social constructs. I taught them to identify the monsters our society creates (like Dracula, trans people, foreigners, etc.) & students loved it. Critical thinking is important.

You mean besides the media @cnn.com ?

Worked on my LGBTQ+ board game idea some today. I've got a good feeling about this! It's a pretty simple game. I'm excited to get everything drafted & tested by LGBTQ+ veteran friends. I'll pitch it to LGBTQ+ & Ally companies, but if it's anything like Hollywood & scripts, I'll crowdfund.

Well, Tigers came out the biggest loser in their one trade. Screwball for 3 position player PROSPECTS - 3 untested guys who might end up staying in MiLB & never helping the team - instead of getting pitching [prospects or otherwise] for their historically shitty bullpen. Harris & Hinch gotta go.

Yup. You did. And cancer research for children was first to go.

TACO & family don't have to pay taxes they owe. Meanwhile, the rest of us lose everything if we don't pay. Cuz that makes sense. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤬🤢

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
