I’ve been quiet but paying attention. Swinging btwn outrage and hope, despair and determination. Germans in thirties? Time will tell. Musk is illegal psycho. Just some random musings for a Kate Saturday night

Our DOJ will fight tooth and nail to protect Epstein et al but not people murdered with guns. We’re good with mass shootings and child rape. We are fine with environmental destruction and public land desecration. We applaud immigrant removal and white supremacy. We are all in on corruption. MAGA WTF

But stop raising the price of diesel. And oh yeah it’s Zelensky’s fault there’s no peace. Straight from Jrs mouth. Look it up

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Guess the mask threw him off? Or the scotch?

“Don’t tell me that you remember Sept. 11, 2001. I remember Sept. 11, 2001. But I heard her say she was there that day. I was there that day. I don’t remember seeing Hillary Clinton there.” - Rudy Giuliani

Happy Labor Day as we celebrate those who work to support their families and our society, the folks who actually produce the goods and services so necessary and who have to fight again and again against those who want to keep them down. Dolly got it. Fight on!

It’s not even close. This man is one of the worst humans in American history let alone the worst president. Failure across multiple fronts. You might say he’s the GOAT of failures - a failure all timer. He fails BIGLY. A reverse Midas.

There’s nothing like the sweet smell of failure in the morning.

History will look back on the USA AND ASK “how could you let that happen? Why weren’t they stopped?” What will we answer? What could we do? We were powerless. We were only following orders - or laws. Auschwitz, treblinka, sobibor, belzec. Read the history don’t redo it.

I am struck randomly at how we laughed at the moronic imbeciles who inhabited the fringe columns and cable channels of looney tunes. Pirro, Kennedy, Loomer, Miller, Hegseth, McMahon, Carson, etc and here we are paying for allowing them to run the asylum. Just a morose thought as I mourn Dolly. Rip.

Let me see if I understand this. Iran has no say over Hormuz b/c we have erected a “ WALL OF STEEL”. Therefore, Iran has no responsibility for the strangulation of energy shipments. So apparently Trump is CHOOSING to keep traffic stalled. And energy costs keep escalating. AT HIS WHIM. Right?

Great words from americas most underrated president. Thank you, Mr. Truman.

“Socialism is a scareword they have hurled at every advance the people have made… socialism is their name for most anything that helps the people. 1952. Truman. This is how stale their desperate fearmongering is. cc: @MarshaBlackburn

While I own the complete chip Hilton series, the Hardy Boys was a close second for me. And my wife has collected the complete Nancy Drew. Also shout out to historical novelist Joseph Altscheler whose tales of various early American adventures colored my world. (2)

This will of course mark me as older than most but CHIP HILTON Chip and his friends played every sport in school while dealing with some surprisingly timely social issues. Written by legendary basketball coach Clair Bee the series tracks chip and crew through high school to State. Great stuff. (1)

Have to admit if Romero position is indicative of position of majority of DSA, I am out. “tons of diplomats” is disturbingly like “strongly worded objection” nonsense I have hated from Dems all along. Send guns missiles, money - all the weapons they require. There is NO alternative! Support Ukraine

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

God already built a wall through Big Bend — it's called the Chisos Mountains. We don't need to give billions of our tax dollars to out of state vendors. We don't need to desecrate this sacred land. We don't need this useless, disgraceful, corrupt Big Bend border wall.

The fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!

Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

Today's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...

I agree the gop is pathetic - full stop!!

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social

Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.
