The future you will forgive you if you fight and fail, but not if you fail to fight.

Another drive down to the Gulf of Mexico.
When in Grand Isle, Louisiana, look for the Lafitte Woods Preserve. Very cute. Unfortunately the Irises are blooming now, so you may have to wait til next year to see them. But rumor has it that its a nice spot for birders. Bring lots of bug repellent.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Now, that's all I hear.

I went check...the Gulf of Mexico is still there.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration.

This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment.

Hello?

No hiding it. He is referring to himself as a "king".

Open message to Elon Musk:

Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social

Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

Bad Journalism:
1. Reporting TikTok may shut down Sunday w/o mentioning that the bipartisan law was a Donald Trump demand.
2. Failing to report that Trump's money man Elon Musk wants to buy the app.
3. Failing to report the Trump says he's now pro TikTok because these days "I'm a star" on the app.

Bonjour, mon amis!
Temper any expectations of further multilingual communication. I used 90% of what I know in French to say that. And my Spanish is limited to ordering drinks and asking for the restroom. 😁

He can't leave soon enough. Unfortunately, there are too many suckers that buy into his BS.
Louisiana may have THE most embarrassing elected officials.

Exactly. Nothing like folks making their living by crab/shrimp/fishing voting for the oil industry.
It will never make sense to me.

Our governor is just as greedy and power hungry as the con man convict returning to the WH.
(I voted for neither of those criminals)
This is going to be worse once Pres. Mangolini returns to power. Everyone is going to start to feel it.
But all of the "red" states are going to break down faster.

Right?! As much as don't love FB, I would have lost my mind without the "blue" folks I found.
Any blue port in the storm!

My heart breaks for the young children of these people. They don't deserve to die.
The adults...well...Darwin is calling them home for awards.

NOOOO! Next Door is a shit show! Back away slowly...don't let them see you.

Someone on the House ethics committee should leak the Gaetz sex trafficking report immediately.
