Hi all! Just joined today, great to see so many familiar faces and a better algo than Threads. I’m a huge dog lover, athlete, travel junkie and tech nerd. Here are my canine babies:

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown. “We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital. "We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU" www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Got our Covid and flu shots yesterday. No issues other than a couple of sore arms. We have a bunch of travel coming up and wanted the protection.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th. If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY: Make your voices heard. Join us in a peaceful protest across our country against the most corrupt, deceitful & criminal Administration in U.S. History. We say NO KINGS, NO CROOKS, NO SPRAY-TAN CONMAN! 👎 Check for a location near you at: www.nokings.org #BeThere 👍

Their cruelty is only matched with their incompetence www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/h...

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey. I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Christian Nationalism doesn’t follow Christ. It’s a power cult.

"She said to me after that - Samantha, 21 years old - all my life I've prepared for this moment. All my life, my mom, 53 years old, who was just going to get meat for a stew, has told me one day this could come." @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social talks ICE with @timmiller.bsky.social on The Bulwark Pod

Every word he says here is a lie. Every. Single. Word. He’s living in an alternate reality. #25thAmendment.

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection. Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Reminder that NONE of these workers need to be fired because of this shutdown — Trump is just using them as pawns because he views people as expendable if it serves his interests.

This is the way www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

BREAKING: Masked Border Patrol agents aggressively arrested WGN video producer Debbie Brockman in Lincoln Square Friday morning, supposedly for "obstructing justice." (Video via Josh Thomas on Facebook) Follow @heartlandsignal for more.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

🐶🐱 New California pet laws! 🐾 3rd party, for-profit sales of cats, puppies and rabbits are now BANNED 🐾 Cats CANNOT be declawed for non-medical reasons 🐾 Sellers MUST disclose origin and health info 🐾 Contracts for pets that include non-refundable deposits will be VOID

This is wonderful ❤️🌈

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast. But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Mabel & I hope all our fellow Californians vote YES on Prop. 50! #FightFireWithFire

Amazing.

They are batsh*t crazy.

Idaho families could see premiums jump from $611 to $2,083 a month if Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to save the health care tax credits. That's an increase of $1,472 a month for the SAME plan. Republicans won’t talk about it but Democrats refuse to let that happen.

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.” The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

😕 Here’s the video again: www.instagram.com/reel/DPi9m_2...

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House. Not a single offer. Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Proud to welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid, Princess of Belgium, as part of the nation's largest trade mission to California. There’s no better place to do business than right here in California — the world’s fourth-largest economy.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

Don’t give an inch

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

This will eventually come out. Can they keep it hidden for 3 more years?

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
