@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

Hopefully, the protests will help end this insanity. Maybe we can return to Congress working for the people and not for their own greed & lust for power.

Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

It's long past the time to enact the 25th Amendment. Trump is unwell. Having a pathological liar in the Oval Office is insane.

Trump at the WH yesterday:
"The person who got the Nobel prize called today and said I am excepting this in honor of you because you really deserve it. Very nice thing to do. I did not say then give it to me though. I think she might have."

Benny Johnson is a well known plagiarist, grifter, & Christian nationalist who was being paid by Russia - to the tune of well over a $100,000 a month - to push Russian propaganda on the American people - the perfect bio for a MAGA influencer. We no longer have a Justice Department.👇

Canadians are so upset with the United States & Trump that this year they are boycotting Thanksgiving & holding their own this weekend, calling it, "Canadian Thanksgiving".

They are PISSED.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

#PierogiDay Enjoy!

Ginny @gmoyer17.bsky.social · 3d

Today is National Pierogi Day

Pierogi arrived on Polish territories in the 13th century. They were probably imported from the Far East via eastern neighbors such as Kievian Rus (today's Ukraine) perhaps thanks to Hyacinth of Poland (a monk in a Kiev monastery, later the patron saint of pierogi).

This is remarkable. The world added more solar and wind capacity in 2024 than we added demand. 100% of demand growth PLUS 9% to retire dirtier sources. Cheap energy keeps winning. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

I wish the media would stop pretending we still have 3 equal branches of government. America is no longer honoring the rule of law or the Constitution. JB shouting at the audience doesn't change anything.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.
