Trump hasn’t stood in front of cameras and ranted about a trans shooter in the home state of Tim Walz and then his plans changed and he stayed in DC (which he hates) for a 3-day weekend, but I see no one in the national media asking why.
Wife, mama, sister, friend, suburban woman fighting for democracy. NOT a national security/geopolitical expert but I have a guy for that.

We need red flag laws. We don’t need weapons of war on our streets. I was just in Minneapolis and the city is lovely for sure, but the people made it better welcoming us with their kindness. My heart goes out to those who are hurting. We MUST do better. We must.
We cannot keep our children safe anywhere. We have failed them. Younger people can and should be part of our government. They need a seat at the table because we sure as hell haven’t been able to fix this problem.
Congratulations. Now please do something real, immediately, about the fact that the VA News is soliciting veterans for ICE jobs. This is OFFENSIVE in the extreme. ICE is not about immigration. It’s about racism. And yes, I am a veteran.
It’s a volunteer job, so I won’t be taking any money for anything!
I won! I’m so excited to roll up my sleeves and get to work!
There are illegal orders and there are awful but lawful orders. @votevets.org and others are working hard to make resources available to the NG and AD members who have questions about whether or not their orders are legal.
I will certainly help organize veterans to speak out against this and elevate their voices. Veterans’ voices are very powerful on this subject.
If you’re in Minneapolis, you can come to the Hilton tomorrow morning and vote for me!
Thank you!
Can you get to Minneapolis Tuesday, August 26th from 10:30-12:00? If so, please come and vote for some amazing people (and me!) for the Veterans and Military Family Members Council executive committee. This council *desperately* needs new leadership.
"If you think taking the high road means silence, you’re missing the moment. Silence is not strength. It’s surrender."
The thing about John Bolton is Donald Trump is all over the Epstein files.
I truly thought Bed, Bath, and Beyond closed. I haven’t been in one of their stores in 15 years because I couldn’t take all that clutter and chaos so, yeah, makes sense the CEO is MAGA.
Thank you!
If you don't want nothing, don't start nothing...but if you start something, don't think I'm just going to accept it. rachelvindman.substack.com/p/fight-figh...
No, but the main Ace customer service emailed him and tomorrow he will be at the store in Sacramento. He doesn't work on Tuesdays. Pam who works there is very nice.
Started/Going Steve Brodie Edition 🤣🤣🤣
Janessa Goldbeck, a Marine Corps veteran, is now speaking for @vetvoicefoundation.bsky.social. Refusing to act on climate change hands U.S. rivals an advantage, she said.
Calllll
Oh please do not repost this mischief. Whatever you do. But if you do, sing "Ace Is The Place With The Hateful Hardhead Boss." Okay? Thanks. @natsechobbyist.bsky.social
Also call the FBI? I thought it was against the law to threaten people?
You know what to do. 🙂
This level of strategic petty is absolute genius. @natsechobbyist.bsky.social is a treasure.
The owner DENNIS JONES, also owns this store if you need to reach him.
EVERYBODY PLEASE REPOST THIS POST!
I understand the mission Rachel.
@tizzyent.bsky.social
UPDATE: I called Steve and asked him if he wanted to delete his post calling for the murder of my husband and me or should I have people call them all day and he hung up on me so I think that means he wants people to call his business all day.
Steve works at Carmichael Ace Hardware. Their phone number is 916-489-1999.
Just another day that ends in y with some random bitch lying about us and a guy named Steve calling for us to be lynched.
We have a president who rolls out a red carpet for despotic murderers and issues dress codes for our allies. (I was going to say 'issues sartorial demands' but I wanted to make sure MAGA cult members understood me.)
Right? You had me at hello!
SAY LESS!
Sending our best girl to her first day of high school has us all emotionally exhausted 🤍
Holy shit.
Oh, no, not me! I’m way too slow but I run (although not at 3:30 pm in south Florida…). This is my daughter’s team’s WhatsApp group.
Cross country practice begins today which means around 3 my phone will be blowing up with messages explaining who isn’t going to practice and why (9/10 times it involves orthodontists or dentists.
I thought I had to wait 365 days from my last optometrist appointment in order for my insurance to cover it. And same for new glasses. It turns out, the benefits renew every January so not being able to see well for the past 2-3 months was entirely preventable by, you know, reading.
Join our LIVE launch now! I am so excited to be part of @thesirennetwork.bsky.social 💙 open.substack.com/pub/thesiren...
This is really going to help the US attract international tourists!
These Epstein distractions are getting ridiculous but can they please leave home improvement projects for the White House out of it?
An important point. If CA wants to redraw, we would need a special election because of our state constitution. We should be organizing that now.
I’m far from outraged. I’m just not shopping there because it’s stupid.
“My job as a grandmother is not to make sure my grandchild is safe.”
In that case, she’s killing it!
I spelled her name incorrectly. I don’t care.
Here’s the thing about Sydney Sweenie who I never heard of until a few days ago: I have a teenager and we will never step foot in @americaneagle @aerie or the other store whose name I can’t even remember. Bye ✌🏻
12 House Democrats joined together in a lawsuit on Wednesday against ICE, attesting that the agency denied them Congressional Oversight into detention facilities.
Bummer
Stop falling for the trap of latching on to the price of an item (eggs, beef…) as the message. The issue is affordability. From 2001-2023 wages failed to keep up with rising costs. Medical premiums rose 301% Travel expenses were up 170%. Rent grew by 131%. The cost of raising children grew by 107%.
Today I am very proud and excited to announce my candidacy for Military Families Co-Chair position on the DNC’s Veteran’s and Military Families Council 💙🇺🇸❤️ During this critical moment in our nation we must all use our voices in the most powerful ways we can. I believe this is mine.
I hope you run, Casey! Team Vindman will do everything we can to help you!!!
I don’t know if I’m going to run for the Senate, but if I do you’re going to get someone who always shows up to deliver results for my constituents. Someone who will NEVER back down - who will call out corruption, bad policy and BS whenever and wherever I see it. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/06...
There are few things in life that are a sure thing. You can always be sure that Donald Trump will make a fool of us when he travels abroad.
From the moment I saw that positive pregnancy test, I knew I would do *anything* to protect this little one. That’s what being a parent is and I refuse to judge or condemn anyone who seeks a better life for their children.

America’s Generals are terrified. They are cowed. They seem unlikely to hold the line and live up to their oaths to serve the U.S. Constitution. Trump violated the law (the Hatch Act) conducting a political rally at Fort Bragg, rousing the troops to cheer his slogans but the Generals stay silent.
Trying to fundraise over what's happening in LA without telling me *exactly* what you are doing to HELP is gross. This isn't a fucking game.
HAPPENING NOW: Aerial coverage of protesters marching peacefully in LA to protest ongoing ICE raid operations and Trump’s federalization of the National Guard Reporter: “What we’re looking at right now is a quiet, organized group and demonstrators marching peacefully to their destination.”
ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans
This is why *none* of his nominees should have been approved by Dem senators. An absolute abomination.
Thank you! Btw, my induction cooktop was installed yesterday 👏🏻 I will let you know what I think once I get a chance to use it.
Wishing the happiest of birthdays to the love of my life/my ride or die. The next 50 years starts today 💚
Zelensky has promised to stop the war between Trump and Musk in 24 hours.
If you are still watching CNN, WHY?
RIGHT?!
My dear friend is running for Congress! Y'all, she is FIERCE!!! I am so excited I can't type. Please consider donating to her campaign today. Any amount is meaningful!
Yes, this is so important.

I will email the administration at his school and the district office. Additionally the store employees agreed to give statements if Alex files a police report.
about him existing? he thinks he's a traitor. completely unhinged. so glad he's an elementary school teacher...
Do👏Not👏Mess👏With👏My👏Family👏
Today my husband & daughter were in a store when a man began screaming at Alex telling him he should't be able to go anywhere w/out others doing the same. Alex spoke w/ him & w/ a little info I found his full name, address, & the school where he teaches 4th grade. It took me 10 minutes.
It’s Friday and the, “Wellllll, ack-shew-uh-lee, we shouldn’t laugh about that because…” crowd must be exhausted because they’ve had a very busy week.
Where are all the One World Government prophecy freaks and why aren’t they freaking out about Palantir compiling a master list of our data?
Since none of the MFers have ever served anything but themselves, sacrifice and dedication is a hard dose of reality.
True, true…
It’s giving Eva Braun…
Katie Miller has really bad taste in men.
I appreciate how Coco is taking it all in stride!
Yup.
I have questions…
And I see people on IG saying, “We need to trust the process.” No, Caroline, we don’t need to trust idiots who know nothing about science or health.
The reason they’re going to stop publishing is because they know whatever they did would be idiotic junk science and panned worldwide for its stupidity and ignorance. Only in this country are people dumb enough to listen to that dangerous pos…
@avindman.bsky.social wrote a beautiful Memorial Day tribute. open.substack.com/pub/alexande...
Memorial Day is always a time that I take a pause and think of the ones I lost in service. Not just my own men but family and my Iraqi partners who risked their lives for me. I went for my traditional hike today. Now I’m grabbing a cold one and lunch. Here are a few of the men I’m thinking of today.
Republicans know how to ramp up government administrative burden (increasing costs and decreasing govt efficiency) to cut massive holes in the social safety net. Cc: @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social
About 1 in 6 people who are eligible for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) don’t use it in large part because of the complex application process. www.census.gov/library/stor....
Yep. And officers with one child who are stationed in outside the continental US qualify for WIC.
Military pay is a matter of public record so you can look this up if you want: No one is going to afford a trophy wife, much less a yacht, on those salaries.
*marginally
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dear Tim Cook, Extortion is a continuous process. Hope this helps.
Republicans’ idea of Small Government™️ is when a small group of white men get to tell the rest of what to do and what we can do.
Not a damn thing.
Jake is going to make sure CNN spends another day of every hour beginning with a story about his book and Joe Biden.
