Mr C, Don’t know where else to write this. Just heard you on Miller describing the Monster’s morning post-shower ritual. I thought I was alone in these musings… Your description far better than my minds’! The five foot hair stretching towards the always clogged drain as he reaches for the Aqua-Net…🤣
I just learned of her yesterday, was completely impressed and immediately followed her! Based upon my mom’s “every little bit helps,” theory.
Today would be a phenomenal day to release the full, unredacted Epstein files.
It sure would. Just heard Stephanie Miller mention you, and came here to immediately follow. That is all. Carry on…
Holy crap. Stephanie Miller reposted my post! I’m new to this, but that seems pretty cool. I’m reading her book whilst waiting upon the show today. I love the hometown of Lockport. All four of our grands loved us so much we spent every summer arguing whose house we’d stay at in Elmira. Nana won…
Perfect timing. I always alter the adjective to describe the day in my morning text to daughter. I believe today I opted for, “Have a SPLENDID day.” And to you as well… Thanks for all you do 😎✌️💙🌈🚫👑🎶
These items—banning/reversing rescissions; restoring Medicaid; curtailing DHS overreach and illegality; implementing Russia sanctions; and setting up basic ethics requirements for all three branches—have broad popular support.
I went blank at the question and when the fog cleared, that’s what came to mind. The Reverend Willie G
I can’t do much in the grand scheme, but at least I’m able to spread Democracy Docket a little bit. It sure helps me…
NEW: The Supreme Court is being asked to decide if private citizens can still enforce the Voting Rights Act after a federal court ruled that only the government can sue to stop racist voting laws. If SCOTUS upholds the ruling, it could end the ability of voters to challenge anti-voting nationwide.
President Donald Trump appears to face a demographics problem as the 2026 midterm election nears, and one analyst thinks his "crusade to rehabilitate the Confederacy" could make matters worse.
Although not the proper place, nice name drop on Jeopardy a minute ago!
I’m just some bricklayer from the DC suburbs who heard Ben Maiseles say, “Get on Bluesky if you wanna fight Trump,” so I did. So I find the massive nature of this whole social media beast fascinating. I just discovered Substack too, and yesterday read potential bad news about that. Crazy world
I hereby nominate Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumpkintina” Sullivan Podcasters Of The Year! (Dunno if that’s a thing, but I like the sound…
I am curious as to the vetting procedures for the jobs. Official dear leader loyalty oaths are surely on the horizon.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
If only they would actually follow them instead of displaying them on government property.
And from the Small World Files: I opened the book only to note that the publisher is based 12 minutes from where I am in Arlington, Virginia! I’m in Cherrydale, they’re in Bluemont. (I’ve said for years, “everyone inside the beltway,” isn’t bad…😉
So, I am poor and spend wisely. New to the show and recently learned Steph had written a book! Had to order used on near maxed card (I blame repubs for guttin Obamacare) from evil Bezos though. Just walked up from GROCERY and see mail came! No qualms about pausing existing read on this gem…
Post this every day! cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful...
I greatly enjoyed pushing this vid to 1K. We need help. And you seem quite able. Carry on. 😎✌️💙🌈🚫👑
I just heard part of your recent speech on Midas, and although not a constituent, I immediately came here to follow you. You resonate amazingly well, and I know you’re gonna defeat that hapless sellout Collins in a resounding trouncing! Remain relentless…
So, I have led a strange existence that has allowed me to interact with DC and suburbs police departments for many years. (Not getting busted) I have also hung out socially and have several cop friends. I even smoked a joint with corrupt PG cops in early 80’s! And saw em beat people at Wilmers Park
👋 Hi, I’m Blythe. I’m an epidemiologist and economist at the intersection of science, data, and policy. My career has taken me from building disease models in the White House, to leading international real-world evidence initiatives with AI and EHR in oncology. Excited to learn and connect here! 🌍✨
I was gonna say something like “welcome to Bluesky where we love smart and wise people that don’t deny ‘science,’ a phrase that I still can’t wrap my simple mind around.” “Sold,” is a much more succinct and proper response.

This article is a great way to start the morning! I can’t stand that woman so much, reading of her ineptitude has me happy all over.
Some thoughts on … all of this … on this Labor Day: www.lawdork.com/p/this-weeke...
Graham Greene (1952–2025)
I’d like to borrow that too if ya don’t mind. It cracked me up. My mom used to say that one. Totally forgot about it.
I’m in Arlington 5 miles from White House and went back in for Grandma’s blanket to read on the front porch too. But the dude is still dyin !
“Our illiberal foes,” from the National Review.” Upside down world…
‘Never felt better in my life’
I keep my eyes on the horizon!
This is a street view of the church she started singing in! It’s in Arlington Virginia, 5.1 miles from where I live. Strangely, exact same to the White House….
Goin Down the Road Feelin Bad -Traditional (I like Andy Griffith on the front porch, and the Grateful Dead)
I only recently discovered the wonders of Substack and now I’m reading it’s being ruined and people will likely wisely leave! I saw a comment from you at Leaflet and came right over to follow.
As a small-time masonry contractor I agree wholeheartedly. But let’s not forget prior to unionized workers, our entire economic system was based upon the free work of fellow humans. And we still benefit from that un-payable debt. But yeah! F the oligarchs and billionaires
I think I like that so much I took a screenshot
That is amazing, as was your patience. Well worth the wait
I know little about vetting bots and fakes and was just followed by someone sharing this, several posts deep. This is my sign. I like to think nobody would ever use Ms HCR for nefarious purposes. Gonna follow
It is impossible to watch that only once.
I was 14 at the DC Smoke-In in 1981, marching with cop cars on one side and motorcycles on the other. A bit scary. The chant was “Pot is an herb! Reagan is a dope!” We were on acid at the time, and looked over in the crowd and there was my dad and step-mom staring at the hippies… Good times, those
I have an idea. Someone should be “Maps” and demonstrate how to label water bodies properly and demonstrate International borders that require respecting!
I love that one! My daughter is of the age that I read every book a hundred times.
I sometimes around smashing likes for good people to boost numbers. I was doin just that when I had to stop and read. Good one!
I would think nothing less of you Good Sir! Of course,he is but a manifestation of a larger problem. Putin and Theill surely have extensive plans for life post Trump
Like Barn in the episode where he had difficulty properly handling his firearm, so Sheriff Anj limited his ammo supply. Goober was singin’ about the “Depitty that got a bullet in his pocket…”
I’m right over here in Arlington not laying any bricks today. If you guys need some refreshments or anything, lemme know
I usually love Rolling Stone reporting and am glad I was able to read this article. I wouldn’t call it a “hit piece,” but they obviously assigned a writer to do a story on the amazing rise of Midas, and glowing reviews and rainbows and jellybeans don’t translate to clicks. I trust Ben. Implicitly.
Rock on Charlie Angus! You give us great hope down here in the former good ol’, but flawed of course, USA. Carry on, and remain relentless… 😎✌️💙🌈🚫👑🇺🇸 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I did! But reminders are always nice, and this excellent essay goes way beyond. Comments on such things are often just as informative, and those are just getting started I’d guess.
We had a lotta hope that cold day we brought our three-year old daughter to Obama’s first… This is now a nightmare shit-show of course, but I’m sentient enough to grasp the massive import of the battles in the courts. And it gives me great hope that Marc Elias is fighting that front every day.
I try to push positivity, but with one foot always in reality. And I sure can’t disagree with your thorny opinion. Also, I must add, “need-hole” is a definite keeper! So perfect
1/ If you are feeling overwhelmed by the fast paced of legal news, remember that it’s deliberate. It’s a strategy Trump uses, flooding the zone in hopes that people will tune out. Read what you need to know here to get ready for the week: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
That’s what makes sense and surely is for day to day. But I can’t remember where I read it today, but somebody wise said, “No… It’s Russell Vought.” The project implementation rolls on…
And the hits keep comin 😎✌️💙🌈🚫👑
This is brilliant. No wait. I’m just slow. But regardless, this needs viral memes
Hey Erin My favorite thing to do these days is play my old bass along with you tube videos. I get stuck in ruts and algo’s don’t help. I tend to songs that aren’t hard to learn, but have great meaning. Thanks for giving me my new jam. Bruce just said, “one two, one, two, three four.” Gotta go…😉🎶
I’m gonna roll with the first thought as usual, but assume I’m alone. Yentyl- Papa Can You Hear Me -you know
I haven’t been following that sack and am just wondering how he can pay for anything. He should be in prison, or at least a Dickensian debtor’s jail.
“Please follow one of Missouri’s most active Dems,” it says. As if there would be some sort of question or something
Touch of Grey -Grateful Dead “The shoe is on the hand it fits, There’s really nothing much to it. So whistle through your teeth and spit, Cuz, it’s alright. Oh well, a touch of gray, Kinda suits you anyway, And that was all I had to say” 😉✌️💙
“If,” being the operative word here. I’m not going to venture any sort of dignity/honor quantity analogy between the two of you. I can think of nothing that vast.
That is worth his ramble to hear him get completely stumped. And then he goes with, “Well ya know, those children can’t be replaced Martha…” Helpful
I’m of the opinion that RFK was not part of the plan, but now they are stuck with him. Trump wasn’t liking the polls when they swung that sketchy deal for “Bobby’s votes” And Jr, although a total wack-job who does believe his own bullshit, is, as his cousin Caroline mentioned, just attempting legacy
I can only name Hot Rod Lincoln but I remember they were from Paw Paw West,by god,Virginia! And I once got to open a show for Bill Kirchen once. Nice guy
I find it fascinating that Ms Monica deemed it necessary to remind of “being nice to each other!” 😎✌️💙🎶🎼🎵🎤🎧🎸🥁🎹
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
I knew it’d be here somewhere, but I didn’t think I’d have to go this far. Love that song
The song I selected for the first dance at my wedding! Signed, -Divorced (Still the best song ever…
I had no idea! Gotta listen to this one. Something tells me she’s amazing…
I cannot find fault nor reason for dispute. Ding fuckin dong, the felon soon will be dead… I never, until this very second, considered the interment considerations!Surely it’s planned out? But no. He wouldn’t wanna think of that. Maybe he’ll end up in an untended golf rough with a Jersey freeway hum
Actually no. That was Rosemary Woods. My cuz Shelly was his secretary in NY after he was VP, at Mudge/Rose/Nixon/Mitchell law firm. He brought her to White House tho. There she met Pat, the speechwriter. Oddly, my Dad’s law firm merged with Mudge Rose in the 90’s. And Dad is progressive! Small world
Dont forget that in the Felon’s ramblings over the years it has become readily apparent that he believes enough to mention that his father, who he has always sought the approval of, is watching The Fat Sack has mentioned dad would be proud, but I firmly believe deep down he knows he failed. 👀🙈👀
No offense intended to any relatives of course. Get this… Pat Buchanan is married to my first cousin once removed. He lives about five miles away right across from the CIA. We don’t socialize of course, but I swam in his pool in the 70’s! (My cousin was Nixon’s secretary)
This makes sense to me, but I’m a bricklayer. Gotta wait to hear some intelligent people opine on why this might not be that easy.. Or, maybe I should think a bit more positively.
“Would you buy a used car, from this man?”
What a central casting slickster Southern politician… Even the name. Buddy Carter. Nothing against my several friends that sell used cars, but that’s where that fella belongs.
REP. BUDDY CARTER: What eroded confidence in the CDC was the covid vaccine BEDINGFIELD: Who was president in 2020?
Ya gotta love the projection in Trump referring to Pritzker as, “Weak and pathetic.” Deep down somewhere, the orange man must know
We could have had a real honest to goodness leader. Trump doesn’t care if we live or die! He’s made that crystal clear.
I totally hear David Pakman’s voice in my head when reading, “I’m struggling to remember .” I’ve heard him forced to say it so many times…
I almost just choked on a berry
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
Deep thoughts……, By Jack Handy 🤔😉
I believe his comment said something about the degrees of harshness, but I wasn’t really listening
📌In the last month, Trump has posted a fake video to the world of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, pulled Kamala Harris's secret service detail, and doesn't want our museums focusing much on slavery. I mean, just in case you still don't understand his appeal to Republicans ...
Yes. I wouldn’t say we were lied to. Many just unaware/uneducated. And many incapable of conceiving drawing the surface of an orb flat to begin with. I’ve seen good animated videos that explain the visual distortion well.
I’ve been a die-hard Washington football fan since my first game at RFK in 1973 when I was seven. (Actually saw OJ that day…) I was a season ticket holder for years and grew up loving the logo. When the idea for change came, I was all for it though. It makes me sick they want it back.
I agree totally. And of course the word “intellectual” and Donald Trump cannot coexist. He is definitely mental toast and dying, but the oligarchs and Russians are surely planning for that. The only plus I see is their incompetence. So much of the damage can’t be undone.
Now this is why it’s worth reading down! I was simply gonna suggest the blanket be too short and of course threadbare. I like the foil space blanket idea better though, cuz they are opposite cozy. But smallpox blankets… Now you’re onto something. Maybe with old Washington football logo.
I heard it said they’re for kids
I would take just about any suggestion from Joyce White Vance, but this was a lay-up. And I only played soccer. Heroes are abounding these days, but you are particularly special. 😎💙✌️🌈🚫👑
Joyce Vance. Ever with the ease of understatement.
What if it was Don Jr? I don’t know why I just thought of that. That sack of trans fats doesn’t have long, and he’s mostly a hapless tool of the oligarchy at this point. But what if Slicky boy was found dead by a mirror of his custom “no-coke” powder blend, with a tickle of blood from one nostril?
Wow. Way too important to be rash here…
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
I love any excuse to use a map. And I was unfamiliar with the Santiam. Very nice…
I like your perspective very much. I’m in Virginia where we don’t register to the party, but have long considered myself a Democrat for reasons of pragmatism largely. What we need none of, is “High-minded Dems.” The ones who write stern letters…
