Attention y’all! I lived the 70’s marching in the streets. I lived thru our National Guard shooting students peacefully protesting at Kent State. I lived thru tricky Dicky. We fought and won, and history will repeat itself when we win again! Power To The People! #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

So are we supposed to applaud Tillis for speaking up now? Where was he the last 8 years? Couldn’t he see what this reprehensible piece of garbage was going to do? FAFO😡!

I’m thinking to myself; many cases in Biden’s administration upheld district court judges. And now, astonishingly, the court has ruled that the executive overrides the district courts🤔😂! So, let me think, what’s changed? Could it be who’s in the White House? SCOTUS has become a trump shill

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation. -You cannot legally deport people without due process. -You cannot legally deport citizens. -They are defining down deportation to break the law.

Maybe the one good thing about the trump/russia love fest is that it forces Europe to step up regarding its common interests. The downside is that America has pissed away any influence it had in international affairs. Even including trump’s buddies in Russia and china. Not even sure about Ben

Really upset by what I have been reading about today’s Oval Office meeting. Kudos to Zelinsky for taking the high road and not calling trump out for being the two faced liar he is.

Instead of asking for restraining orders for those agencies where DOGE has already infiltrated computer systems, why not request a Restraining Order against any future incursions into any government office?

So here we are two weeks into the trump presidency. Is there any governmental pronouncement that we can accept as true?? Where are democratic senators and representatives? Totally frustrated .

I’m not sure if the icing on the cake yesterday was the musk nazi salute or trump pardoning all of the j6 terrorists. I guess for sheer unexpectedness I’d have to go with musk.

So, if repugs kept the government open tonight I hope they did it without democrats support. I believe that republicans should take responsibility for any legislative actions taken going forward.

PSA for those who don't know: New Orleans' WWOZ, the greatest radio station in the world, has a free app and on this free app, as well as getting live radio from the Crescent City, you can listen to any show that aired in the last two weeks and one of those is the daily traditional jazz show. YW.

So I just heard that abc settled with trump as regards his defamation suit against them. In the words of a to soon departed master, “another one bites the dust”. ABC, welcome to the ranks of Washington post, LA times, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Morning Joe, and so many others caving to the orange asshole
