I'm Mad About David. I love twinks so much, I courted one for years until he married me. We are nerdy, coffee-holic, film buffs loving the dream in our parallel universe we call our "Lovenest". Married September 17, 2015, and born in Fort Worth TX
Kick Every "BBB-ing" GOP Congress to the Cub this November!
Senator Mark Warner@markwarner.bsky.social · 2d agoMillions of Americans lost their health care last year because of Trump’s cuts. That’s going to skyrocket further when his Medicaid cuts go into place next year. His policies are leaving millions sicker and poorer.
Ken Paxton Senate or WH? Voters Mandated reform in Austin, San Marcos, Killeen, Elgin, Denton, Dallas were blocked by Paxton. AG said: I will not stand idly by as cities Run By Pro-Crime Extremists violate Texas law. Ala Harry Anslinger Ken didn't know the details of Texas's THC ban Ala Trump?
Harry J. Anslinger: The Man Responsible For Banning Cannabis In America "He Was Pro-Pot Until His Job Was In Jeopardy" "People understood heroin and cocaine were more dangerous than pot. But use wasn’t widespread enough to sustain the campaign of fear he desired." www.ranker.com/list/harry-j...

My sincerest conviction is that politicians that cheat to win elections, so they can do Nasty Stuff like Burn Rare Books. Should BE CONVICTED of Those Crimes.
Todosco Jones the liminal spaceman@todoscojones.bsky.social · 16h agoOne of my sincerest convictions is that destruction of rare books anywhere should be a major felony. 🤷♂️
GOP Makes consumers pay tariffs. GOP Refunds Tariffs to Corporations In Time to make Campaign Contributions. Nod, Wink. Kick Every GOP Congress to the Curb in November.
Justin Wolfers@justinwolfers.bsky.social · 14h agoTrump just imposed 50% tariffs on Americans who buy a range of Canadian goods. Here's what's going on, and why it matters: newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/why-trumps...
You said a mouthful there. Hillary was winning in the polls, until the election was lost.
@raprel.bsky.social · yesterdaySo far election results appear positive for the midterms. We do not want to become overconfident. We need to continue the hard work we have been doing.
It's not what happens to you. It's how you let it affect you.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 19h agoThe powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.
We support Democracy Dockett with Continuing Contributions because: We Don't Want This Election to be The Last Election. Keep on really pissing off the White House, Marc!
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 2d agoDonald Trump hates me and Republicans think I am the enemy. Trolls and critics can say what they want, but they should know that I wear their scorn as a badge of honor. As FDR said, “I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.”
Trump is raising Minnesotans’ bills because they voted against him three times. www.twincities.com/2026/08/18/m...
Minnesota grant cancellations political, Trump administration concedes
The Trump administration admitted it canceled more than $7.5 billion in federal grants last October “based solely” on whether the projects were planned in Democratic states.

On this day in 1935, the Social Security Act was signed into law. This vital legislation is a lifeline for older Americans, people with disabilities, and families. I will always fight to protect and strengthen Social Security so future generations can rely on its benefits.
Today, reports from a chat linked to #FuturoNazionale — the new Italian far-right party led by former general and MEP Roberto #Vannacci — revealed racist, antisemitic and openly anti-constitutional messages, including praise for Hitler and calls for violence.
Kudos to HEB for caring about their customers.

I Strongly Support the Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act Rep Peters Et Al.
Rep. Scott Peters@repscottpeters.bsky.social · 5d agoInstead of funding this outrageous glove to force people into complying with enforcement that may not even be intended for them, we should pass my Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act to teach ICE and CBP officers how to actually de-escalate conflict and use dangerous equipment responsibly.

Still trying to process my feelings about tRump's humiliation for hiding in a food crate, Karolyin' Leavitt leaving the White House & the MyPillow guy denying he lost in his bid to become Governor of Minnesota. #SAD 🤣

@ohfaith.bsky.social I look both ways before crossing a one-way street because I do not trust anyone. It's a conspiracy 1984 In Oceania, your neighbor, coworker, spouse, children can turn you in. Distrust everyone. Gone Girl Dark Side of marriage. You Can Never truly know or trust your partner.
I support Democracy Docket. Nod Wink, know what I mean?
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 2w agoMany of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld
That's Doctor "Captain Obvious" Fauci to you.
Saganism@sagan.bsky.social · 2w agoDr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".
The GOP is probably passing their "legislative agenda" with votes from a guy who is pretty much comatose. Now Who Exactly, Outfoxed Who?
Kimberley Johnson@kimberleyjohnson.bsky.social · 2w agoFor obvious reasons, we should know wtf is going on with McConnell. But there's the fact that he's not showing up for votes. Haha. Fuck you, Republicans.
Experts Said: Republicans/Trump will Create "Famine, Pestilence, and Massive New Federal Debt." Some folks may have misheard that as New Jobs.
focelon@focelon.bsky.social · 2w agoWhy is everyone surprised the US lost 23 thousand jobs in July? You have cut tourism in half. Other countries are turning their business elsewhere to avoid tariffs. No one can afford housing, new vehicles etc. Come on. This shouldn’t be a surprise.
Here is my daily reminder. P2025 is only 50% implemented; they need to win in Nov to replace judges and then they will implement the rest. You think what we have seen so far is bad? The second half is much worse. Please make voting a priority in your life; talk about it, encourage others.
Or, as Han Solo famously said to Luke Skywalker: "You're all clear, kid! Now let's blow this thing and go home!" right before Luke fires his proton torpedoes to destroy the Death Star.

Fauci Saved Millions, AFTER the GOP/Trump Admin's Disastrous COVID Response TOOK A Million Lives. How much Havoc Could an AI Enhanced COVID Variant Wreak WITHOUT Do-Gooders like Fauci Around? Hmmm? Didn't "GOP Bipartisan Support" HELP Dems Print $7 Trillion in Red Ink? GOP - War/Plague/Repeat.
janemick@janemick.bsky.social · 2w agoThey are bullying a good man who has saved millions of lives
I Prefer to Blame "The Federation" instead of "Lord Vader" - For $20 Trillion in New Debt - And Qazi NAZI Government Operations Now Taking Place in America. And, FUCK the Epstein Files. GOP/SCOTUS Will NEVER MAKE Anyone Pay. Except Epstein. And Philanthropists who Make GOP Look Bad by comparison.
Debs Kaye@debskay2298.bsky.social · 2w agoHave you noticed how much the MSM has talked about THIS, yet they say NOTHING about the POTUS having his 300 SHELL Corporations bank accts closed because of suspected MONEY LAUNDERING! They do the SAME with Epstein files!!
Veiled Threat Indirect: No "or else". Context-driven: Situation Makes Warning. "Marine One within 0.8 miles distance, 700 vertical feet from passenger jet." Does GOP Think We Believe POTUS's aircraft, operated by Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1) Can Operate This Haphazardly? BULLSHIT!
