Retired Rn, military brat, cat mama, grandma, daughter of a WWII East German refugee,woke unapologetic liberal, Democratic socialist. The closer we get to November the harder Trump is trying to disenfranchise voters. Vote blue 💙.

Donald Trump told reporters he feels "badly" for Max Miller, a Republican congressman accused of abusing his wife, and hopes Miller can "work it out." The only thing less surprising than a Republican politician abusing his wife is Donald Trump empathizing with the abuser.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

Texans, including former State Rep. Lon Burnam, were arrested for defending our voting rights. Tarrant County leaders tried to slash 𝟭𝟰𝟬 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. That’s nearly HALF of the election day polling locations! Texans showed up, fought back, and forced them to back down—for now.

It is surprising that there is not widespread public outrage among Americans regarding this issue. The majority of the funds will be allocated to shareholders, leaving little to no benefit for the lower-level employees. And will the prices come down for you, who paid the tariffs?

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
