We need more than thoughts and prayers.

And hopefully they’ll throw the book at Trump, Noem, and all the cabinet.

Plus, he records her and sits and watches her over and over.

Such a good idea. If only money didn’t talk.

Don Isaacs @donisaacs.bsky.social · 1d

Pardon me, but while the SC did the right thing, it knew well she had another good option.

Not having anyone there for 15 years, I guess no one will really care if he drops the ball from time to time.

A day late and a dollar short, but thank you Siobhan for including me with so many other good troublemakers.

Now there are a song and a group I have not thought of in decades. I think each chamber of Congress is considering the song for its new theme song. And the Republicans are thinking of replacing the elephant with a turtle as its symbol.

Arrogance. Corruption. Male prostitution.
Playing a losing hand in the only way possible.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Most definitely true for anyone under 6 months.

Move over, Lincoln. Pam Bondi says Trump "is the greatest peace president of our lifetime, probably in our history."

My pleasure. You’re welcome Kady.

Don Isaacs @donisaacs.bsky.social · 2d

Great strategy. Be a corrupt, incompetent president, divide the country, and create chaos. Then use the chaos you created to argue that elections would be futile, so you have to stay in power. Thank the people who voted for this corrupt felon.

It’s such a tough call. But in a MAGA run world, teacher supplies won’t matter much if there are major teacher shortages.

Lisa, you did the right thing, the courageous thing, and the principled thing too few people do. I suspect you walked away from some nice paydays, but you can sleep well and feel good. You are a role model for so many still claiming to be journalists. And, your father has another reason to be proud.

Trump is moving the UFC fight from July 4th to his birthday. He wants the country to celebrate that day. He may be onto a way to bring the country together by celebrating June 14th. All he has to do is pass on that day.

Thank you Sue. We had a quiet weekend but, like you, are looking forward to Columbus Day. If the weather cooperates, whole family will be in Maine for some R&R and some work.

The Brits understand. What a nice resource, one that The Fat Felon can't intimidate.

Good morning and Happy First Cup moment. Enjoy the cup and the day.
Did you have a good weekend?

You’re welcome Marilu. I did the easy part. You and Razo and others like you do the real heavy lifting.

I had a good, but quiet weekend. Recovering from a bit of a bug. And Debby got it so we didn’t do much?

Hope yours was more exciting!

You’re welcome. Neither does your dedication.

Don Isaacs @donisaacs.bsky.social · 3d

You’re welcome but it’s you teachers who are amazing. I do the easy part— choose from a fun list of good things. I don’t even have to go to a store or UPS. You all do the hard, important work.

You're not alone. Just need to know how to make it happen.

You’re welcome Amber. What’s really is what your dedication means to your students and community. Thank you.

Last month SC Judge Goldstein ruled that SC did not have to turn over state voter data to the fed’l government. (That decision has since been overturned). Today her house exploded. She was out but family members were home and some badly hurt.

What will it take for good people to say “enough?”

You’re welcome Joy and so deserving of being remembered and thanked.
