Whenever I hear Barack or Michelle speak, their eloquence and love of country come through, but what’s also apparent is that they’re just normal human beings—something you could never say about that pair of sleazy, tone-deaf grifters occupying the White House now. I really miss normal.

Thank you to our first responders, already hard at work this wildfire season. Do your part, too. Stay informed, and stay safe.

The President of the United States is a liar.

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

New lawsuit just filed challenging Tommy Tuberville’s eligibility to run for Governor in Alabama because he’s a … Florida man.

There's President Obama, And Then There's Chump.......waah.

It is very funny to hear objective reporters say having a ufc fight at the WH contradicts the idea that he is an old man who falls asleep in public. Did he fight? Does watching a fight require any particular vigor? What are we doing here

Good Morning 😃

Even before nomination, Rs were under siege for their handling of the Epstein. But Blanche nomination = a gratuitous slam at Epstein victims, puts the issue back in the news, and forces Rs (many past primary season) to decide: Save themseleves or promote Blanche? open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

"Maine veterans showed up outside Senator Susan Collins' Portland office this weekend with 168 lunchboxes, one for each schoolgirl killed in the Minab school bombing, and 13 portraits memorializing the 13 American service members killed in the war in Iran." (From Common Defense)

Trump declares the Strait of Hormuz will be permanently toll free. You mean like it was before Trump's war?!!

@rebeccaditchlily.bsky.social Good morning, Rebecca! Have a great day! 🤗😸

"Why elect a policy wonk … when you could send Congress a longtime Manhattan litigator and onetime Republican, plenty familiar with GOP hardball, who’s now playing for Team Democracy and the Democrats?"

"We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid." ~ Benjamin Franklin

A strong Times editorial argues Todd Blanche shouldn't be confirmed as AG. But amazingly the Times never mentions Blanche's management of the Epstein coverup, culminating in his meeting Maxwell and rewarding her for silence about Trump. Our elites are out of touch. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/o...

Senate Republicans who vote to confirm Todd Blanche for attorney general should take heed: They will be haunted for the rest of their careers (some of which may very well end with the midterms) by the courageous survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s monstrous crimes. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Once Trump is out - the WH will need to be heavily saged to release the demons & negativity.

I explain that Trump should not be spending his 80th birthday watching a UFC fight. He should be in a prison cell! I also talk the importance of Trump's name being removed from the Kennedy Center. youtu.be/k0T-t-QSBAs?...

A moment! When [Rep. Becca] Balint [D-Vt] mistakenly referred to Bondi as “Secretary” at one point, Bondi cut in and said, “I am attorney general.” Balint shot back, “Excuse me, I couldn’t tell.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

Attorney General Pam Bondi has the power to hold the men in the Epstein files accountable.  But she’s doing the opposite. She’s protecting them.

To the people of Minnesota and everyone across this country: You have the right to peacefully exercise your First Amendments rights. Keep recording. It can be used as evidence in the future.

Every Blue State should stand up like Pritzker did.

It should not be easier to get a weapon of war than a vaccine. #FireRFKJr

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...

Parker was shot in the head with a flashbang in LA. Her skull was fractured and she had bleeding on her brain. She’s now back out there protesting and documenting. Because she says we have to. That’s bravery.

While freedom dies, scream your rage into the faces of its killers.

The maps are immoral and unlawful.

America is not drifting toward authoritarianism. Trump has already crossed that line. Donald J. Trump has stripped Washington D.C. of its autonomy, deployed thousands of troops into its streets, and declared the capital his personal “test run” for a national police state.

Here is the link to the DOJ's website for the transcripts and audio of Todd Blanche's meetings with Ghislaine Maxwell: [NOTE: The level of fiction in these transcripts borders on the absurd.] www.justice.gov/maxwell-inte...

Someone finally made the posters. Info in next post/

He knows all about grass because he scoped it out when he planted his ex-wife in his golf course.

Concerned about the state of our democracy? Come see us in Reading this Sunday. We will practice some democracy. www.mobilize.us/berkscountyd...

I knew from a young age that I didn't have a lot of opportunities - that's why I joined the Marine Corps. And after 3 tours in Iraq, I know running for office isn't going to kill me. Our democracy is being torn down in front of our eyes. We can’t afford to settle for the status quo!

President Trump took away your health care for this.

Some Texas Democratic women have torn up their permission slips and will now be hosting a “slumber party for Democracy” on the House floor.

"A system that brutalized, raped, and killed human beings while stealing their freedom and humanity is rotten to its core. That enslaved people were able to find resilience and build lives is a testament to their courage and spirit. There is no “other side” to the story of slavery." Dan Rather

In case you forgot …
