"I need the kind of generals that Hitler had" - Donald Trump

Remember this? That's what ICE is. They would do anything he asks without question.

He realized he couldn't instantly take unfettered control over the military (though he's trying), so he made his own army to use on the American people.

Last night, I put a movie on Amazon Prime and had to sit through a 15-second ad for #Melania before the movie would start. I want those 15 seconds of my life back.

Remote work complaint of the day: if you message me on Teams/Slack, don't just say hi or hello. What do you want or need from me? Just say it. Happy to work with you and get stuff done. But I can't tell you how many times I've gotten a "hello" then I respond to it and then... *crickets*

Random observation as a parent of small children: it's cute that they have such a limited worldview. But man, when you notice adults out there with a similarly limited worldview, it's problematic AF.

This isn't getting enough mainstream media attention, but the Secretary of Education is involved in a sexual abuse lawsuit.

If (or when, God willing) we have Democrats in the Presidency and in charge of Congress, we need that President to step up, relinquish executive powers Trump has abused, and demand Congress to codify separation of powers that has otherwise just been a set of norms.

Anyway, lest we forget, release the Epstein files. All of them. Unredacted. As the law requires.

ICE does not protect and serve.

ICE disrupts and instigates.

They cause hostility and violence.

They kidnap. They murder.

We've been here for upwards of six years and never made it into North End Pizza. Gotta say, it was a delightful experience. Good beers on tap, kinda perfect house salad, and creative pizzas executed decently. We'll be back. And we'll know to get a 50/50 pizza next time! #boise

Went to the ice skating ribbon at Indian Creek Plaza for the first time. Pretty stoked to bring the kids back once they're older and more capable of skating on their own.

Tonight I am especially thankful for Arizona Wildcats basketball.

Fuck the Bears.

As someone outside of the party who looks on wanting them to do better, this is a BAD look and gives me no confidence in the plan for midterm elections or 2028. Are we cooked as a country? Maybe not. But this doesn't help.
NEWS: The DNC is killing off its 2024 autopsy.

DNC Chairman Ken Martin has decided not to publish a public report, believing that a backward-looking document would be counterproductive as the party has started winning.

Donald Trump. Bill Clinton. Bill Gates. Steve Bannon. Woody Allen.

Drag. Them. All... We need to know who did what and those guilty should be held liable.

This isn't about politics. It's about what's right.
