In search of bike adventures that end with tacos. Current goal: bicycle 50 miles in all 50 states for turning 50. It doesn’t get any easier than right now. Listening to Bob Dylan along the way. (35 states done!)

This is as treasonous as it gets

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

JD Vance walked right into this one. He never saw the follow-up coming. “People who break in and vandalize a building should be prosecuted.” Kaitlan Collins: So about January 6th…

This is some of the most encouraging news I've seen. But we MUST SUSTAIN it. The only poll that matters is the one on November 3. VOTE. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

My #lyft driver is from Colombia. He’s learning English (listens to US music on the radio) and building a new life in AMERICA. Immigrants are a benefit to the USA. #immigration

If Republicans can’t manage the reflecting pool, we can’t trust them to manage the country. LFG national Democrats - the campaign ads write themselves.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around this fact - San Diego produces more energy from solar panels than a nuclear power plant (battery storage becomes the next concern). It’s unfortunate that we have a FEDERAL government so unwilling to give robust support to alternative energies.

In 2026 Portland Oregon you are much more likely to be killed by a vehicle than murdered but Portland Police keep letting drivers off without holding them responsible. A driver who breaks traffic laws and hits pedestrians or a bicycle rider needs to be held responsible. This is not controversial.

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

Someone ran past a metal detector and was stopped. A floor above the dinner. It was terrible it happened, and i have not seen a SINGLE PERSON in office say otherwise But they are milking all of this for all its worth. Playing themselves all to be victims all the time. It’s exhausting

The US adds $4.17 million in debt PER MINUTE. Every minute, everyday, 24/7. (And the POTUS wants to blow $400 Billion on a ballroom; that is 67 days of debt. For a ballroom. That none of us will ever use.) #ballroom #potus #nationaldebt

The idea that the President of the United States could publish an image of himself as the Messiah and no news outlet covers it is the biggest indictment of the American free press.
