Lifelong Kentuckian who has never voted for Mitch McConnell or Rand Paul. Grandmother. Quilter. Retired nurse. Lover of all God’s children. No I am not a bot. It’s just that I read more than post, listen more than speak. (The better to learn.)
Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

Trump didn’t want to admit that he personally hired an unqualified contractor who screwed up the Pool and cost taxpayers millions. So instead he had the hack Fox host who he installed as US attorney indict an innocent man so he could blame him and others for his own incompetence.

Yes please. I, too, would like to see these numbers.
Asha Rangappa@asharangappa.bsky.social · 2mo agoI would like a side-by-side account of the cost of: the Iran war, the reflecting pool, the ballroom, the Qatari plane, the WWE fight; DOJ settlement payoffs (like to Ashli Babbitt) and any other vanity projects I'm missing; compared with all of the "waste and fraud" supposedly saved by the DOGE cuts

I’ve seen the chaos inside the Trump Admin and how his plans hurt Virginia families. So, I won’t stay silent. Today, I launched my campaign for Congress. I’ll fight to undo the harm — but I can’t do it alone. Share if you’re with me.
CNN’s Caitlyn Collins is an embarrassment and should be ashamed as a sellout in this interview. I appreciate DA Larry Krasner and understand his point clearly. #pinks #sheshed

Turns out one of the benefits of mass deportation is low growth and anemic job creation.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoPeter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

My crack team of coders has hacked into dozens of government websites and we can now reveal the following.
If Trump and his gang aren't bound by the law nor the constitution, why are you? Currently the system of checks and balances is being destroyed at a speed that would have launched most countries into riots or open revolt. This is a constitutional crisis and your constitution isn't doing so well.
The US should hold new elections, Trump must be removed.
What happened last time we had a mad king? America doesn't do kings.
Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.
Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Share if you agree.
Michelle Obama will not be attending the inauguration.
Fantastic interview with Biden by Ben Meiselas of Meidas Touch. More democratic politicians need to be doing this -- engaging with new media, getting the word out there through independent outlets not beholden to, or intimidated by, Trump's threats.

Bring It On, Donald: The January 6 Committee Stands on Truth
Donald Trump’s latest threat to “jail” members of the January 6 Committee is nothing more than the desperate howl of a man who knows history will regard him with shame.

Hiring two people to run a department is the most bureaucratic thing I can think of.
