Coincidence? There are no coincidences at this level. Follow the money and it will lead us the owner of this crypto account. And almost assuredly to someone who has strong ties and connections with Trump and the Trump Regime. #ProudBlue

Corporate media is missing the point about Portland’s Mr. Frog. They are covering him and his menagerie as a humorous side show. In reality Mr Frog has seized the visual narrative by pointing out the absurdity of troops in Portland. In our visual media world. Mr Frog is winning the war. #ProudBlue

Portland has developed a brilliant, unique way of demonstrating. More power to each & every frog. The rest of the menagerie is terrific, too. #ProudBlue

America is for sale. A Qatari base in Idaho will come back to haunt the U.S. But Trump and Hegseth got to please another wealthy Arab nation. America First? America is not even an afterthough with this Regime

New ICE recruits get a $50,000 signing bonus. The military has to depend on food banks to feed their families. Make that make sense. You can’t

Good morning, friends! Life's magic occurs in unscripted moments and in unexpected gestures of kindness. Beauty reveals itself unannounced, but only to those with an open heart, ready to receive it. Don’t wait for perfection. The extraordinary is happening right now.

We live in an extraordinary time Jaye. I never expected to be fighting for the survival of the United States in my 60’s. But here we are. Life comes at us fast. We better be ready to meet it head on.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

We have an idiot for Governor here in Texas. He cares more about Donald Trump than the citizens of Texas. This is hurricane season. We need the guard to be ready. Instead they are in Chicago eating doughnuts and sitting on their ass

It’s catching. No one in the Trump Regime understands percentages. According to Fake Dr Oz drugs will be free with a rebate of 650%? So a $10 script will get $6500 back? Wow. Pharmaceutical companies are gonna need a bigger truck. My 7 prescriptions will pay off my house. #ProudBlue

I am tired of litigating the Rittenhouse story ad nauseam. He got a lucky break. Had a bad prosecutor and a biased Judge. But that‘s the way it happens sometimes in our legal system. We live with the result. I have my opinion. You have yours. Neither of us will change those opinions Take care
