One Year On

Bella, our beautiful blue basset was diagnosed with Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC) at the tender age of seven, bravely endured a grueling month of radiation therapy followed by a year of chemotherapy. Despite the immense challenges she faced, Bella remained remarkably resilient.1/5

He looks terrible. You’d think after all the Biden health accusations, the GOP would want to know what was wrong with Trump.

But nah, crickets.
Trump last night had the complexion of a Thanksgiving turkey that was left in the oven too long and bandages were again visible on the back of his right hand

Trump is underwater on every issue and voters (especially independents) are fed up with Republicans working around the clock to enrich billionaires while refusing to lift a finger to make life more affordable for the rest of us. Let’s build a blue tsunami for the midterms: indivisible.org/groups

Trump and the GOP aren’t just giving up on affordability, they’re pretending the crisis isn’t even happening.

I’m not running for Congress for any reason other than making change.
Donald Trump can go on TV and call America affordable. We know it’s a damn lie.

I believe we can rebuild the American Dream of homeownership, financial security, and building real wealth that you can pass down to your children. But it starts by being honest about the state of our country.

We're past the point where this admin deserves any assumption of truthfulness. At this point, we should assume they're lying until proven otherwise.
"As masked agents dragged the woman from her car, wrestled her to the ground and forced handcuffs on her, she yelled, 'I’m a US citizen. Please help me! This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?'

She was wearing scrubs and appeared to be on her way to work."

ICE is lawless and out of control.
Rep. Adelita Grijalva says she was pepper sprayed "in the face" & "pushed around" by ICE officers during a raid in Tucson.

"I literally was not being aggressive, I was asking for clarification, which is my right as a member of Congress."

DHS denying it.

Here’s the thing about people my age: I thought I was going to finally start to be able to save up for retirement. Almost all my kids are grown. But that’s not how it’s working out. We still have to support our kids who did everything right (college, apprenticeships) because nothing is affordable.

It’s time for folks at DoD and in the IC to start lawyering up.

If you’re an officer or official who was forced into pushing through potentially illegal orders, get a lawyer.

If you’re a soldier, seaman or airman who was forced to execute them, get a lawyer.

Tariffs mean American companies are cutting back.

Great job, MAGA Republicans! And by "great job" we mean 🖕🫵, morons.

Delayed tariff impact starting to hit, could cause companies to reduce head count in 2026
President Trump's tariffs, aimed at reshoring American jobs lost to overseas manufacturing, could end up lowering head count instead

I lived in Montgomery County, TN for several years over my 2 tours with the 101st. It’s part of the 7th CD now. It was represented by Marsha Blackburn then. Today I hope my neighbors there will get out and vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social They deserve a rep that cares about them and will fight.

So military folks are mad that Hegseth isn't taking responsibility for the second strike - but if you carried out an unlawful order, that's on you, too. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Hegseth, with White House help, tries to distance himself from boat strike fallout
As Congress vows accountability, the Trump administration emphasized it was a top military commander — not the defense secretary — who directed the engagement.

I spoke with Betty. She was very emotional and asked me to tell you that “she would love to give each one of you a great big hug.” We’re so close to changing her life. If you can give $5 or $10, it would be awesome. If not, I completely understand, but a repost is free. Thanks very much.
I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.
