You don’t have to watch MSNBC.

They are systematically firing their non-white hosts and you have every reason to turn the TV off.

I will not support bootlickers. I will not support those who kiss the ring. I will not support those who bend the knee. Ever.

We had a new friend in the yard today. He looks like he’s had a rough winter. Hopefully some of Reds snacks will help him recuperate and heal up from whatever has him feeling down. #squirrelsofbluesky #squirrel #wildlife #wildanimals #photography #greyishsquirrel #motivationalsquirrel

Red has a system of tunnels through the snow and one of them comes out on this branch.
“There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but the way out is through.”- David Allen
Even though the world is dark right now, we need to keep looking for the light.

Red is tired of all this snow, grandpa. He doesn’t want to keep digging for his snackies.

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Taking a break from the usual squirrel content to present to you: Grumpy eagle. He’s tired of winter but also tired of the way things are in DC. #baldeagle #eagle #grumpyeagle #wildlife #wildanimals #winter #cold #timetoimpeach #animalsinpolitics

Bianca however, was taking advantage of Reds absence and she was scooping up all the snacks.

Red would like to apologize for being MIA. It was stormy and cold here but he finally had enough sunshine to coax him out of hiding ☀️ #squirrelsofbluesky #squirrel #wildlife #wildanimals #unplug #photography #mentalhealth #motivationalsquirrel

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Dear Senator ___,

I'm alarmed about Elon Musk's influence over federal agencies.

Reports indicate that Elon Musk has gained access to the U.S. Treasury's payment systems and has been involved in significant changes at USAID. This raises serious questions about national security...

Republicans have been ordered by their billionaire Puppet Master to end Medicare as we know it.

Democrats have 215 members in the House who can stop this extreme effort.

All we need is three House Republicans to join us.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.

The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.

What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.
