I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
We all know Trump’s strategy is to try and overwhelm people so they’ll unplug and he can complete his power grab. Here’s how to fight back. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Title it after Jimmy Carter, the great champion for Habitat for Humanity.
@governor.ca.gov Poor title. Should be "Governor Newsom launches new task to house the homeless." Clearing homeless encampments sounds like targeting people for misbehavior, not lifting them up due to misfortune.
Joe Biden is out buying ice cream while everyone is asking whether Trump is dead.
They’re totally going to do this.
He died inside a long time ago.
It reads like a bitchy 1-star Yelp review ... not anything which should come from a world leader.
Yeah, you should.
Six months ago. I meant it. Do it now if you haven’t.
The American Dream is truly dead when people do not want to immigrate to the United States. MAGA is killing America.
I asked for the latest COVID vaccine this week at my VA clinic and they didn't have any. They said they are "out" but maybe more is on the way. The don't have an ETA.
The Colorado House of Representatives on Sunday passed a bill that would use state money to fund Medicaid reimbursements for reproductive health care providers, namely Planned Parenthood, that have recently faced federal funding cuts.
California is supporting students and their families this back-to-school season with: 🥪 Universal free, nutritious school meals 📚 800+ schools with literacy coaches and universal K-2 screenings 👧 Universal TK with a year of free learning 🏫 Free before-, after-, and summer school
Great job, Ice Barbie. 🤣
Say, what?
To get our point across, we did use a black sharpie ....
We got this yesterday. We marked it up to mail back to the Republican Party.
@altairforce.altgov.info CSAF retiring early ... doesn't take a genius to figure out why. www.af.mil/News/Article...
Just keep telling the evangelicals not to vote anymore. The Dorito Dictator told you so.
Of course, this can only apply to elections run by the federal government. IAW, none.
And California ... see the trend
I am waiting for this idoit-in-chief to come up with this plan. Everything is to be done in person. If a candidate wants my vote, they need to come to my house with an ID I issued to them to get my vote. They only guy with the ability to get elected will be Santa Claus.
So ... everything is to be done in person. If a candidate wants my vote, they need to come to my house with an ID I issued to them to get my vote. The candidate need to do this all in one day. They only guy with the ability to get elected will be Santa Claus.
Can't trust mail-in voting? I guess mail-in tax returns are out. Or anything by mail for that matter ...
Damn.
I need a new t-shirt! store.crooked.com/products/don...
This will pass in California. There is a super majority in both the state senate and house. Californians are pissed. And the slogan is supposedly "Don't Mess With Texas".
LIVE NOW: Governor Newsom, state leaders make major announcement countering Donald Trump’s gerrymandering scheme. www.youtube.com/live/io2Hutl...
Unfortunately, because of the degradation of norms, structural changes to the Constitution are needed. The Senate and Electoral College are not representative of the people. Representation should reflect the demographics and values of the people and not be aligned for the preservation of power.
I would be entertained with her as a MNF analyst, but Kelce would also need to show up as an intellectual equal in music. Give me a podcast equal to the Professor of Rock, then we are even.
Damn. They need to play this 1,000 a day until election day. No edits.
Hell yeah! 🔥 This is exactly the type of energy that we need right now!
Today’s good trouble from @dailybeanspod.com “Texas Republicans have now set up a TIP LINE to rat out the Texas Democrats. So PLEASE, for the sake of the public, DO NOT FLOOD THIS NUMBER with tips on Bigfoot sightings, UFO sightings, or asking why Trump is on "the list" 1-866-786-5972”
If Republicans follow through with this, there will be a second civil war. States will secede.
Then you update for the second administration.
This was a fun rabbit hole. I started a conversation for creating objective scores from qualitative measures based on US presidents and their administrations. Here is the least corrupt.
And because Harris gave complicated answers to complicated problems, you voted for a man who rambled like a 5-year old child on a sugar rush.
I guess he believes just because Democrats also be fighting for other Americans while fighting for him, they are wasting their time. Democrats should only be fighting for him and him alone. The only American he sees in the one in the mirror.
"Fight for Americans, instead of fighting for everybody else"? I assume he believes LGBTQ people are not Americans. Fighting to protect voting rights and representation is not fighting for Americans. The PACT Act , Chips Act, and IRA are not fighting for Americans.
The theme here is "Biden took care of other people, but didn't take care of me" while Trump told them to blame all of the others who given care under the Biden administration for the reason they are unhappy. The propaganda prevented them from seeing the root cause of their problems.
"This campaign to weaken the federal civil service has targeted the very people who keep our government running and provide essential services that we all rely on ... . Of the roughly 2.3 million employees who make up the civilian workforce, more than 80% work outside the Washington, D.C., area."
You do not plan on renovations and upgrades which will not be complete until the last year in office if you plan on leaving. They will destroy the election process to stay in power. The attempt to rig an out of cycle census to realign congressional seats is one part of this.
Truth. When the rule change, you play be the new rules.
When one side cheats, and the refs look the other way ... you are the one who have not realized the RULES HAVE CHANGED. Playing "fair" is playing with Republican rules. In other words, the only rule is "anything goes to get and keep power".
Just how is information gained from the 2024 election the equivalent of a census?
They will just make up numbers. The census department is already gutted. Normally they plus up for the census years. Suddenly blue states will lose a bunch of people and representatives while loyal red states gain them. I'm sure the numbers will change in time to rig the 2026 election.
This is criminal. I am retired AF and am grossly offended by this betrayal. I am certain the Air Force Association will say nothing. They were just as spineless when they relieved Gen Brown. federalnewsnetwork.com/air-force/20...
Truth. I'm tired of tolerating states like North Carolina, where they win the presidential election by 1%, but through gerrymandering have 70+% of the congressional representatives. If Democrats win California by 20 points, Democrats should get almost all the representatives!
Life-saving idea! Pass it on!
#BetterInAUnion #UnionStrong
The Texas redistricting will not be stopped by the courts. Newsom it right. If Texas approves redistricting 5 seats, California needs to redistrict all the Republican seats.
People believe they are immortal until the day they die. If they believed in mortality, healthcare would be important. Going broke is another story. They can relate to this.
We keep assuming when Republicans take power, they would follow our rules. When they take power, they change the game. Democrats are trying to play baseball when Republicans are playing football. When the game changes, you need to recognize the rules also changes.

Resist ... and find hope
If you believe that Trump’s goal is power, then it can, and will, get much, much worse. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...
United Farm Workers President Teresa Romero - Two years ago, we invited all 100 senators to work in the fields. Only two of them accepted: Alex Padilla and Cory Booker.
If they sting me, what are my new superpowers?
Motherfucking wind farms…
I hate to say one of the rules to break when (if?) Democrats ever take power again is to implement the Trump playbook and ignore any ruling by a Trump appointed judge. Especially anything by Emil Bove.
Changing their minds is futile. Messaging to make them disillusioned with who they support may be the best communications plan.
Unfortunately, the morons think they are smart. When the moron thinks he is smart, changing his mind is nearly impossible. The best Democrats will get is the moron becomes disillusioned and decides not to vote.
I call out the entire 36% who chose not to vote. They believe nothing is their fault because they chose not to participate. I hate to tell them, we are ALL accountable. As a citizen, each of us is responsible for the choices we make and the effects of those choices. Each day is a new choice.
Yes. We also need more newspapers in the United States with the integrity to report the news like The National in Scotland. www.thenational.scot/news/2534147...
As opposed to learning not to go to work sick. Productivity is NOT infecting the rest of the office and your clients. Infecting the rest of the office when you are sick is negligence.
Tesla's mission statement is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. The website is all about EVs, solar, and battery technologies; not robots. The board may want to rein in the CEO and focus on the mission. www.wsj.com/business/aut...
Guess who is about to get an "atomic leg drop" by St Peter when he arrives at the Pearly Gates ....
This is all well and fine, but nothing can be done until a change in Congress and the Executive. DOJ will not prosecute a criminal case on the DRP. Congress will not impeach for violating appropriations. www.govexec.com/pay-benefits...
Exactly. When 36% of Americans fail to show up to vote and take responsibility for the present and future, they are a bigger issue. They also then blame both sides for the problem, but never get involved to fix it.
We cannot expect anything from the Epstein case to be released by this administration that would be incriminate the President on ANYTHING. We will only learn something from an insider in the FBI or DOJ who had access to the original evidence.
Either (a) Murcowski, Collins, and other a gullible and continue to believe they can make deals Trumplicans will abide by, or (b) she is in on the grift and is pretending to dissent. If you want an honest deal ... work with honest people. Stop believing something will be different "this time".
I really miss my free COVID vaccine donut from Krispy Kreme ...
Absolutely. This is how dictators pull everyone in line. An extreme case is Saddam Hussein. He conducted a purge of leadership live on TV to execution or just vanishing into the ether. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_Ba...
Par for the course. After removing a Gen CQ Brown, ADM Lisa Franchetti, and ADM Linda Lee, what else would we expect? Women make up 17% of the US military. Minorities are over 31%. What would military readiness be if they stopped enlisting?
Finally, a faith I can believe in. unitedchurchofbacon.org/about/
Expertly spoofed in Season 1, Episode 4 of Star Trek Lower Decks!
What is with all of the photos of the "Leaning Tower of Facism"? Trump always looks like he is about to fall over. Maybe he was an extra in Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" video. Another conspiracy for the day.
I think I’ll read ahead.
Nothing like getting a tariff via form letter. This reads almost like the letters to Japan and South Korea earlier this week.
Honestly, I think this is just evidence he is 400 years old! This is my next great conspiracy theory.
People have a problem understanding how much money is one billion dollars. One million seconds is less than 11 days. One billion seconds is more than 31 years. So ... justify the existence of billionaires?
Later to star in an iconic role as Chandler Bing on "Friends". He aged very well between 1853 and 2000. It is great to see a veteran having a successful second career on TV.
This account is run on dial-up energy and spite.
Thanks for the boost. Independence Day was at the beginning of the Revolution. Not the end. Celebrate the heroes who painted a target on their backs this day in 1776, not the villains. Be a John Hancock! Sign first. Sign BIG!
Remember, Independence Day was 1776. The war did not end until 1781. They were outlaws to the Crown. A fifth of colonists were loyal to King George. In the end, perseverance and finding new allies won the day. Remember the heroes today, not the villains. www.ushistory.org/us/11b.asp
Unfortunately, what option does a minority in the legislature really have? We can complain about them not doing anything; but, in the end, the majority rules.
So the shakedown worked.
The challenge is the cost per pound for launches. ULA needs to prove the Vulcan is a true alternative with a "working" Boeing capsule.
There will be some sort of reconciliation. Without SpaceX, the US has no viable space program.
"chasing danger instead of warning us about it" is the most accurate assessment I've read. News media and Americans do not have the bandwidth or stamina to keep up.
I expect Trump is going to try to blame Newsom and California Democrats for the spoiled crops in the fields. Californians know the real story. Of course, most California farms are in Trumpland, so their faces are getting eaten right now.
Listen up…
If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.
