I recently gave my first major political speech of this campaign season to retire Lauren Boebert. Like, share, follow, pitch in if you can. LET'S GO!!
I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace.
And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.
The House is expected to vote today to allow the White House to claw back $9.4 billion already appropriated by Congress, including $1.1 billion in cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funding to PBS and NPR.
Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question.
They do this shit because they think they can get away with it.
Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.
In addition to their usual amazing work, our local animal shelter is currently housing dozens of animals from a recent hoarding case where over 160 animals were found living in a trailer. Please consider donating to my fundraiser for them if you can! givebutter.com/catsofyore
With SCOTUS allowing DOGE access to sensitive social security information (while shielding DOGE from having to turn over its info), I'm ... feeling pretty good about some of the stuff I said on @thedailyshow.com (ca. 9:05):

A big crowd of Third Act Mainers stands along the entrance to the parking lot at LL Bean's corporate headquarters in Freeport, Maine. They are holding signs and banners and having a grand old time! #LLBeanDropCiti #ActOnClimate @thirdactorg.bsky.social @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social
This mornings standout at L.L. Bean's headquarters was a big success! It felt great to see so many L.L. Bean employees wave at us and honk their horns in support as they turned into the L.L. Bean parking lot.

The President of California’s largest union, David Huerta, was targeted and kidnapped by ICE during their illegal raids in Los Angeles. Huerta is a US citizen. He stood his ground against the regime troops terrorizing the city. #3E
Do the right thing, Roberts. "one man, one vote."
Sick of your fascism.
Critical BLS number- downward revisions for prior months. The economy is worse than reported
I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk.
I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.
Trump to clear 113 Million Acres of National Forests
Soon Forest Service will clear 90,000 acres of critical wildlife habitat-trees, native plants, chapparal, etc. in Los Padres National Forest for logging, mining, etc
Oppose this now

Good @jilldlawrence.bsky.social focus on climate side of House GOP bill:
"It would roll back Biden-era clean energy programs, resulting in increased climate-warming pollution and rising electricity prices...setbacks to US progress in clean-energy manufacturing."
Not restoring manufacturing, then!

Rep. Al Green Files Impeachment Articles, Cites Trump as Threat to Democracy in ‘Dear Colleague’ Letter. Watch Rep. Al Green's floor speech by clicking: youtu.be/05S_2DLsK8M
The stock market is going to skyrocket today, but this is not bc Trump is a great president, an economic genius or a master deal maker. It is simply bc he’s an arsonist who almost burned the house down and is now putting out his own fire by caving on it all. Do not forget any of this…
How much longer until till we get to the book bonfires???

The aurora illuminates the night sky over a lake along the OK/TX border. Stars shine through a sky completely filled with colors of pink, purple, red, and green.

The aurora illuminates the night sky over a lake along the OK/TX border. Stars shine through a sky completely filled with colors of pink, purple, red, and green. Bright pillars are on the horizon.
One year ago tonight, the night sky wow'd much of the planet with dancing colors in what was one of the best aurora displays of the last two decades.
This was the scene all the way down on the freakin' Oklahoma/Texas border that night! Even had overhead pillars. Let's do that again soon, yeah?
"When you have a free *public* library in particular, you are providing an opportunity center to people of all walks of life, and you are giving them the opportunity to make choices on which entertainment, information, and inspiration mean the most to them."
I found this so moving.
Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding?
The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!
The idea that this administration is considering selling public lands, which belong to all of us, is absolutely abhorrent!
More of this, please.

We are not under invasion.
There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights.
Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.
It’s amazing how Trump’s ideological blinders, blind him to the plight of those affected by the climate crisis. Is it too much to ask that a president help people injured by heat and flooding?Trump administration pulls plug on UW climate research partnership

Thank you, @reptedlieu.bsky.social
And then those people will be rounded up and eliminated, just like Hitler did to the mentally disabled. A fascist Kennedy...something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.
