There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness.
The ineffaceable, sad birth-mark in the brow of man, is but the stamp of sorrow in the signers.
I’m deeply grateful to Congressman @maxwellfrost.bsky.social for his support. This work has never been about one person. It is about people choosing hope over fear, community over division, and love of neighbor over the politics of neglect.
Hometown paper “pre-obituary.” McConnell, by despicable cowardice, betrayal of principle, and forfeiture of integrity, personally laid the groundwork for a constitutional crisis which may yet terminate in the collapse of the Republic as we know it. www.courier-journal.com/story/opinio...

The reaction to Sen. Lindsey Graham's death tells us we shouldn't speak ill of the dead. So I'll tell you what I think about Sen. Mitch McConnell now.

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.
"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."
Joel Pett gets the recipe: America turns 250, and Trump still reads the whole cake as “ME.” Patriotism as frosting, narcissism as filling, and the republic served by the slice. 🎂🇺🇸🎆🍴 #JoelPett #Trump #America250 #Kakistocracy

Happy Summer solstice from Glastonbury Tor where cheering was heard as the sun came up. It was very busy, very vibrant and a fabulous way to welcome the longest day. I took lots and lots of photos but here is the first one. More to follow later. #summersolstice #summersolstice2026 #glastonburytor
Hope. I didn’t realize how much I needed this moment. The promise of America lives on. I can’t believe I’m alone in feeling this way.
My God. The opening ceremony of the Obama Center is a beautiful display of American hope, diversity, and integrity. What a contrast to the pathetically stupid display at the White House last weekend.
I was just 2 weeks old when Mitch McConnell was first elected to the Senate. He has spent my lifetime screwing over Kentucky to build the Swamp. But this is it. The seat is open. And we’re taking it back. For the working people of Kentucky, we will win and finally drain Mitch’s swamp.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
Billions of dollars to bomb Iran. Hundreds of billions more to repair the damage of this unnecessary, illegal war. And WE are footing the bill. All while we’re told we can’t afford to invest in our people here at home. Absolutely sick of this. Hypocrisy. Corruption. A catastrophe in every way.
All day. Every day. Do not let America forget this one:
From the Hood to the Holler…to the U.S. Senate. Let’s win this race.

Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, we are all being screwed by politicians like Andy Barr who would rather fund endless war than fund housing and healthcare. We all deserve better.
