Daniel Silva's book Ransom is outstanding. Silva outdoes himself year after year. Superb.

Looks like the MFer is still breathing. I wonder if he has a medbed.

Downtown today--streets blocked with dump trucks and humvees, national guard everywhere and other law enforcement, White House blocked with bollards, jersey walls and fences (in addition to usual security fencing), the expanse of the Mall fenced and screened as seen from 14th. Sick fuck in charge.

Well, the National Guard was spotted in Georgetown today -- 8 soldiers, all young, headed up Wisconsin in a squad. Maybe they were on leave from reflecting pool duty. I feel bad for them.

Appalling that hospice for Medicare recipients will be suspended, supposedly to investigate fraud, waste and abuse. Families will send dying loved ones to the hospital, or for wealthy people, skilled nursing care. How about cutting our inflated military budget.

In an open letter to American psychologists, Iranian psychologists called for an assessment of the mental health of the US political leaders in the interest of world peace.

I bet trump was chosen last when kids chose who would play on their teams.

I find the use of Margaret Wise Brown's iconic "Goodnight Moon" in a television commercial to sell hotel rooms offensive. That's it.

🧑‍🌾 SPOTTED in Jackson County, Wisconsin…

What percentage of one's net income would be a reasonable amount to spend on health insurance, not including dental, eye glasses or hearing?

Halloween is a time to dress up as something you're not. ICE dudebro thugs should take off their masks today and pretend they're not weak, cowardly fascist bootlickers who need to hide in anonymity because they're not strong enough to own the crap they do to innocent people.

Interesting that the weather all over the US yesterday appears to have been clear and sunny for the No Kings protests. Hmmm

Big No Kings turnouts in red Fernandina Beach, FL!

Just finished Daniel Silva's An Inside Job. Sooo good, as usual.

Need inspiration? Need a refresher of hope? Honor the life of Jane Goodall -- read or watch her story.

My telemed follow- up appt was cancelled as Medicare will not pay after October 1. Why have the regs changed mid year? Now everyone's time is wasted and I have to wait until December to see the doctor.

I have seen no recent references to the Miami Herald expose of the Epstein matter YEARS ago.

I wish all the residents of DC would wear camo clothing for a day and go strutting around downtown. Maybe mask up,too.

THIS…is the mindset. THIS…is the attitude. THIS…is the fire in the gut….that we are going to ALL have to adopt. I have. Have you? We can’t have people sit this one out…and still prevail.

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

What if we had a huge march in DC, all dressed like these Federales? My black vest would say "MO M" or some such in bright yellow.

Perhaps Trump was inclined to employ big force because his parade was a mammoth bust.

This man is a hero.

For the love of God.

Now I understand why it's okay to kick out so many working immigrants. We don't need workers during a recession brought about by tariffs/trade war. How smart is that?

Are Trump's kids taking a ride on the gravy train? Someone let them know their dad has lost the plot. Past time to intervene.

My cousin, a PhD neuropsychologist, has been hired by the U. of BC in a faculty/research position. Brain drain to Canada.

This is disgraceful on so many levels. Hegseth, a raging alcoholic, has turned the US military into a clown show. To the family of this brave soldier, we are in awe of your loved one. We thank you for his service and your sacrifice. Hegseth should award himself the DUI Medal.

The Tesla symbol reminds me of an IUD I had removed in 1974.

Love this.

What if the Democrats dressed like Zelinsky for the State of the Union address?

For the love of God.

I never thought Mike Pence and I would have common ground, but here it is. Wonder why he reposted it now? 🤔

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Among other things, Trump’s latest unconstitutional move will pause research on cures for childhood cancer, close homeless shelters, halt food assistance, reduce safety from domestic violence, and shut down suicide hotlines. People will die. Is this what you “price of eggs” voters wanted?

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Thank you President Biden. Your grace, wisdom, and love of country will be sorely missed. 🇺🇸

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
