2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

It’s not unusual for stolen art to turn up in a descendants parent or grandparents attic. The former auction I worked at had that happen.

“Maximize pain” — that is what the White House literally told the GOP their strategy is. Imagine responding to the fight for human dignity with a strategy for maximizing pain. History will remember those who stood up, spoke out, and did what was right in this moment for the American people.

Imagine running for congress because you have certain principles but on one bill you get badgered by other members to change your vote, keeping you up all night, certain people cornering you in a room and the president threatens your job publicly trying to humiliate you…kind of like water boarding!

When the senate is struggling to come up with a the big beautiful bill and the fiscal hawks want to cut medicaid benefits, why in the world would they have $88 million to fund the transfer of the Discovery space shuttle from Virginia to Houston?

Pundits hate simplicity. If something is simple you don’t have to have pundit expertise to explain it. Trump Cabinet now has a public record as the stupidest Cabinet in history. This isn’t complicated. They are stupid rich people. Any analysis that doesn’t begin with their stupidity is stupid.

And he's still going 23 hours later beating records for Sen Wayne Morse (Oregon) record from a 1953 filibuster that lasted 22 hours, 26 minutes. Still ahead of him is Stom Thurmond (SC) for 24 hours, 18 minutes. I think he's going to beat Thurmond's record.

We need to keep going to these town halls. It’s motivating and people need to be encouraged to do something, anything to bring attention to Trump’s wrecking ball. Upcoming elections in Florida and Wisconsin are very important to help the cause. Go to democrats.org to find ways to help.

#NJ07 Hey, Tom Kean Jr! See those 500 people who turned up for the CD7 Town Hall in Bridgewater yesterday? They wanted to hear you explain yourself. Of course you did not come. Weren’t we lucky that Bonnie Watson Coleman stepped in to do what you refuse to do - meet constituents in an open forum.

Today, Democrat activists are doing a post card campaign to bombard Trump with simple messages that you don’t approve of his actions, specific but simple, nothing threatening. Send to President (for now) Donald J. Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500

My thought bubble: So considering that Vance would probably be a worse president (if that’s possible) than Trump, I wonder if there may be grounds to impeach both of them once the democrats take control of congress again?

Meanwhile in the state of FLA “State Sen. Blaise Ingoglia (R-Spring Hill), meanwhile, introduced legislation to ban the use of artificial intelligence to detect firearms in public areas; it would be a first-degree misdemeanor to do so.” Per Axios

And “Sen. Randy Fine (R-Melbourne Beach) filed bills to lift the state's age limit on firearm purchases and expand the areas where firearms can be carried, including on college campuses.” Per Axios Tampa Bay newsletter.

Hey Floridians… it’s time to take charge of our state again after 26 years of Republican rule and micromanagement of every aspect of our lives! Our home taxes, cost of electricity, etc are out of control… thanks to an all Republican legislature. We need to elect more Democrats.
