Catholic priests wearing red MAGA hats. Suspect that it's not a part of their uniform. Once I pointed a camera at them, the hats were quickly removed.

This is from a Nazi hate rally held by Trump in #Houston TX.

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open.

We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

Report Potential Wrongdoing Under the Trump Administration

Whistleblowers play a vital role in helping Congress conduct our constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities. If you have knowledge of corporate or government corruption and abuses of power; insights into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates; or information regarding potential wrongdoing or waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars, your disclosure can make a difference.

Did you see Nixon's few paragraphs telling America, "Neil and Buzz. Yeah, those guys aren't coming back."?

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Tonight, after you tuck in those little rascals, you can sleep peacefully knowing Donald J Trump has access to nuclear weapons.

This is so fucked up‼️Military families are having to go to food banks because #TrumpShutUSDown We bailed out Argentina to the tune of $20 billion and Qatar is getting a Air Force base in Idaho, but our military personnel have to resort to this. Republicans can’t govern‼️

I would love it if they gave it to Jared Kushner for his Middle East diplomacy leading to this historic agreement.

That would be it. Cheeto would have a 'walking stroke'.

That 'Golden Hour' would be lost because no one would notice anything different from his normal slurred gibberish.

I keep a diary.
It’s called The Long War. Letters to the Living.

Today I wrote:

The muscovites launched 465 drones and 32 missiles.
Many were shot down –
405 drones and 15 missiles.
The rest landed on our lives.

Dolly Parton is way, way more deserving to be lying in state beneath the Rotunda than Cheeto ever will.
