My government is now willingly funding the killing of Ukrainians so that the price of a gallon of gas — which my government sent skyrocketing with an impulsive bombing of the Middle East — is a dime cheaper.
Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Under Trump, the GOP-led House has made it clear that it will not, cannot fulfull its duties as a check on the other branches of government to uphold the Constitution. Voting to give the House to the Democrats is necessary, and @bobharvie-pa.bsky.social would represent PA1 well.
Washington has changed Brian Fitzpatrick. He's bought and paid for by his party bosses and corporate donors. If we want to change Washington, it's time to change who we send there.

Dear MLB, This is how your schedule should look EVERY day from June to September. Wallpapering television for 12 hours a day every day will win you the next generation of fans and make your product impossible to ignore. You're welcome.
We've got a loaded day of Postseason baseball ahead! Phillies vs. Braves - 2 pm ET, NBC/Peacock White Sox vs. Astros - 5 pm ET, Peacock/NBCSN Red Sox vs. Yankees - 8 pm ET, NBC/Peacock Cubs vs. Padres - 10 pm ET, Peacock/NBCSN (MLB x @AbbVie)
“I mean, one day, Democrats say north is up. Then, literally the next day, they argue that north is up. I mean, come on. Make up your mind, commies!”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Democrats of being “incredibly disingenuous,” saying they do “360s on every single policy position they have.”

Today in 1941, Ted Williams plays a doubleheader in Philadelphia to see if he can finish the season at .400. He enters the final games hitting .39955. He proceeds to go 6-for-8 and finish at .406. No batter has hit .400 since.
Today in: Only Democrats are expected/required to enforce ethics violations.
Breaking News: Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell of New Jersey resigned after eight months in the role, following a report that found he had crossed ethical lines such as trying to secure a promotion for a girlfriend and dates for himself.

Glad about the result, but I don’t think it speaks well of us as a country that after two years of human rights violations, war crimes, naked gangster corruption, and contempt for the Constitution, he’s finally unpopular because gas got expensive.
Remarkable: An Iowa right wing radio host just leaked word that GOP polling shows House Rs in peril even in districts Trump won by +10. The culript? Trump and the war. On the pod, Iowa Dem chair Rita Hart explains why the conditions are ripe for big Dem rural gains: newrepublic.com/article/2158...

It’s amazing (extremely negative) how U.S. diplomacy is focused on getting the aggressor a win, trying to find some way to secure gains for Russia that the Russian military has failed — for over 4.5 years and counting! — to achieve on the battlefield. What an awful, consequential, damaging change.
Kushner on Ukraine: “President Putin's laid out his line of what he wants to achieve. If Ukraine, you know, wanted to withdraw to that line, then obviously, you know, we have the rest of the deal set up and put together. Ukraine right now does not want to do that.” Putin’s brain cell

Do not fall for this, folks. It's only Sept. 10. He's sure to raise the offer price by late October. Stay strong: Hold out for more cash.
Trump: "If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate...I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000."

The 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most: 5) No one who speaks German can be an evil man! 4) Sometimes, Josef, I think you WANT TO FAIL! 3) Does this look like a man who’s had ALL he can eat? 2) DENTAL PLAN (Lisa needs braces.) 1) …and by gum, it put them on the map.

I don't understand why the US military is falling apart. I mean, it's led by a FOX News talking-head with a documented history of driving veteran charities into the ground.
“We need to face facts that the US military is in terrible shape and it will continue to get worse under the present leadership. This is in some ways the greatest scandal in US history. The US has spent about $9 TRILLION on defense since 2016, and has created this deeply flawed, deteriorating force”
Saving this story for when the grandkids ask what it was really like to live under Trump.
