Trump isn’t loyal to his base or the Republican Party. He’s loyal to Trump. His goal is to keep his name in the headlines and monetize it for as long as possible. Anyone who expected him to deliver on promises misunderstood who he’s always been.

I have better Bald Eagle photos but catching this pair mating at Lake Casitas was a first for me! After several years and hundreds upon hundreds of encounters with Bald Eagles I finally caught the moment this year! For the record, this is Hannah and Mr. Majestic! #Birds #Nature #Raptors #Photography

Went to #NYC recently. Within 2 blocks of Penn Station, I was in close proximity to more people than a week in #Montana & #Wyoming. It’s no surprise that voters in these wildly different places reacted differently to COVID and other political & public health issues.

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?”

“Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥

Today, we're learning why DOJ didn't release the redacted files last March. Because the multitude of redactions exposes how much they're covering up.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

“Climate action” is just another way to say “we want our beautiful complex planet to continue to be a good place to live, and to continue to be both beautiful and complex”. So much climate damage comes from assuming that Earth is simple, that it is easy to control and that it will bend to our will.

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday?

Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

Kelly: I wish someone would tell him how math works. You know, that the prices are going to go down 500 or 600%. Anyone who's been through like the sixth grade by then knows that that is not a thing.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
