Have been catching up on the happenings of the day and listening to the Dixie Chick’s Goodbye Earl for no particular reason.
“The measure is backed financially by Brian Heywood, a hedge-fund manager funding the effort through his political action committee, Let's Go Washington”
Good framing.
So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
Absolutely shameful. It’s been 6 years since I was on a board, and I really didn’t think I wanted to do that again, but this article changed my mind. Trump's diversity crackdown reverberates through US boardrooms - www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
Trump's diversity crackdown reverberates through US boardrooms
As U.S. President Donald Trump intensifies his campaign against diversity programs, appointments of women and racial minorities to S&P 500 boards have dropped to their lowest level in more than a deca...

Gov. Beshear on Mitch McConnell: "If he can have a 17-minute conversation with his protege, he can call into any of your news stations for three. All we're asking is just a little bit of proof."
NEW: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is demanding in a new letter that Mitch McConnell "directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign."
Need to get every politician in office or running to say this. Period.
At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.
I just finished reading American Gods. What should I read next? #booksky
Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.
@governorwalz.mn.gov Can we please do this in MN?
Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊
Be alarmed. Resist fascism. Speak up. Vote.
Beshear, appoint someone already. Do it!
He should just appoint someone.
You know what doesn't cause apocalyptic skylines and wildfires? Solar panels. Can we stop burning fossil fuels and just start massively investing more in renewables and battery tech, please?
Susan Collins voted to give ICE and CBP $70 billion. She owns the consequences of that vote.
When will someone finally be arrested for these murders and prosecuted? ICE has got to be held accountable for murdering people in cold blood.
Six months after Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed at the hands of federal agents, this is long overdue but offers a hint of accountability. Minnesotans will continue to demand justice for the horror the Trump Administration brought to our streets. www.startribune.com/renee-good-a...
Maine is in absolute outrage! Protesters took over Senator Susan Collins’ office chanting "VOTE HER OUT" after an ICE thug brutally executed a 26-year-old Colombian man. We demand immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!
The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
🔴 BRAVA ‼️ this intrepid woman, shut ice down ✊🏾🇺🇸✊🏻
After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.
The Hill accidentally published an article titled “DO NOT USE”—a draft obituary on Mitch McConnell’s Senate career. Awkward.
It’s been six months since the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Here is how the federal government has stonewalled investigations, and how Minnesota law enforcement is attempting to push for accountability anyway
The Death of Renee Good Has Yet to Be Properly Investigated
Six months after she and Alex Pretti were shot on the streets of Minneapolis, little has come of the probes into their killings.

The sheer number/duration of illegal aerial fireworks shot off in my Minneapolis residential neighborhood over the wkend was terrifying, sleep-depriving, & unsafe. Filed complaint on city website & saw this. No enforcement. None. @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social www.minneapolismn.gov/news/2026/ju...

Today, I voted YES to release the names of Members of Congress who used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct and other misconduct cases in Congress. No more abuses of power and no more hiding behind a system that shields perpetrators. We will always fight for justice for survivors—period.
Whoa. What an absolute knob. How do these people keep getting elected?
Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.
Germany has successfully engineered a revolutionary transparent solar glass that generates clean electricity while remaining completely see-through from both sides, fundamentally transforming how buildings produce energy. #solarpower #ActOnClimate

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.
