Simple living in a log cabin along the Snake River, plus catch-&-release fly-fishing. Out West.
Trump regime has killed at least 234 people by bombing boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean since last September. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. This is a danger to us all.
E Idaho. Quick trip into town for a few items at hardware store. Decided to gas up. $5.999/gal. $60 for 1/2 tank, to top off. Up 20 cents/gal since 10 days ago. From what I can gather, no end in sight, either.
Wife & I have voted & we've dropped ballots into courthouse drop box. Now, had to take a "news" break. So, my back deck time cleanse. Binocs, book, 70° with hint of a breeze. After supper, this evening, head down to fly-fish the Snake.
BREAKING: ballot seizures ruled illegal by CA Supreme Court! A key precedent as we prepare to defend the 2026 election Proud that our @democracydefendersfund.org brief helped secure this win
Honestly, this sounds like they just haven’t reissued and activated the passes yet because they’re morons. What’s great is that it matters here. What’s not great is that the judge didn’t rule on First Amendment grounds for the TRO, so Trump can argue “you’ve had due process”.
Josh Gerstein@joshgerstein.bsky.social · 11h agoLATEST: CNN, MS NOW & POLITICO objected to Judge Timothy Kelly (Trump/DC) over reporters being denied entry to White House & having passes taken Thurs AM despite judge's ruling overnight restoring access. Kelly told govt to respond by 12:30 P.M. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...
apnews.com/article/trum... Trump still has reporters blocked and he’s still an asshole. #Blues #Politics #Democracy #News #AssholeInTheWhiteHouse

James Talarico: We have agreed to five debates, and Ken Paxton has declined every single one. The people of Texas deserve to hear from the two candidates seeking to represent them in the US Senate.
The largest dinosaur weighed around 85 tons. Some male blue whales weigh as much as 200 tons. A blue whale's heart is 6 feet wide and weighs 400 lbs. The largest animal that ever lived. Original post
Trump’s AI guardrail is to have no guardrail. Good luck, everyone.
(Contrarian) A new CNN poll shows nearly two-thirds of Americans acknowledging that we are not winning the war. 70 percent say Trump’s Iran decisions have hurt the US, and 75 percent presume he has no plan to end it. A stunning 76 percent say it was not worth it. Much of this decline: GOP members.
Real presidents understand the need of the free press.
And *this* is why this special little boy had to have his daddy pay someone else to take the SAT for him.

We really need to hear this. “History offers a reassuring reminder: whenever concentrated wealth and elites try to hijack American democracy, from the Antebellum era and Gilded Age to the 1920s, ordinary citizens step up, turn the tide, and restore the balance.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.
In 9 months, Zohran Mamdani has: -Secured millions in worker restitution from DoorDash and UberEats -Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program -Cracked down on bad landlords -Balanced NYC's budget without cutting major social services This is what leadership looks like.
Kinda' starting to think H.G. Wells was right about future of humankind...

Hello neighbor! Break in weather yest afternoon & a quick walk down to the river. Bald Eagle & Narrowleaf Cottonwoods getting more Fall color.
10 tons of cement, one abandoned ant colony, and weeks of digging revealed a mind blowing underground world. Original post
Trump was talking "tough" at the UN today. (Read that as "Trump made an ass of himself...again.") Will Trump nuke Iran? No. Not because he's wise. Because it would wreck oil markets, poison the Gulf, and invite his own generals...to call it ILLEGAL. Even Trump can do that math.
