“We’re there because we’re there” has been done before. It didn’t work out then, either.

Ron Johnson is trash. I look forward to the day that Wisconsin votes him out.

Oh, it’s just a red herring? That’s wonderful! Then he can swear her in any time now, right?

“…the rest of us, whether we’re elected officials or ordinary citizens, should do everything we can to let our fellow Americans in uniform know that if they risk their careers and even their freedom to protect the Constitution, we will stand with them.”

@radiofreetom.bsky.social is correct.

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here

The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

I believe this… though I also wonder if he ever met Mattis.

Regardless, Milley lived up to his Oath, and I am deeply grateful to him for doing so.

ICE pepper-sprayed a protester in a frog costume. Now the "Portland Frog" is a symbol of absurd resistance

Is this your artwork? Did you create #Antifrog? (Obviously along with the Frog him/her/them/frog-self.)

That said, I have been around long enough that I have seen Trump & his ilk slimy slide out of so many things.

We have to keep resisting on every front. Press at the cracks.

She seems awesome! I’m thrilled that she’s onboard!

I’m right there with you. Like most sane humans, I want this regime to end as quickly & peacefully as possible. Like all decent humans, I want ALL the perpetrators on the Epstein list brought to justice so they can’t hurt anyone anymore.

Alt: a group of muppet frogs are dancing in a swamp with Kermit the Frog, dressed in a white suit reminiscent of the one worn by John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, dancing from lily pad to lily pad with some epic moves. The swamp set in the one used when Kermit “goes home” or imagines his childhood.

I apologize. I didn’t mean to suggest you didn’t know (I figured you did since you’re making intelligent/informed comments), I was just adding to your point. We both/all know that they are trying to sense the most politically favorable moment to bail in the hopes of saving themselves.

The NFL is also thinking strategically about demographics. They want to expand their viewership and the Latinx & Hispanic populations are a huge group. As we get closer to the @fifaworldcup26.bsky.social, the NFL want to be able to bring in higher # s when the viewership is compared. It’s smart.

I have so much respect for this lady’s skills!

I also agree with the person who asked about the Epstein-Trump files.

It’s really that they CAN’T cover anymore. They’re going the “rat on a sinking ship” route because as soon as the Gentlewoman from Arizona is FINALLY sworn in, they just don’t have the votes.

They’re also aware of the fact that more and more of the population is seeing how ill Trump is.

That would be one of the fastest possible ways to make @govpritzker.illinois.gov the front runner for the democrats nomination.

Watched a clip of him with America’s awesome midwestern Dad @governorwalz.mn.gov this morning and thought “that’s a ticket that I would be proud to vote for”.

@aw-sylwester.bsky.social Not trying to slip into your DMs to start something (happily married), but I still need to say that “Vaccine Scientist” is one of the sexier job descriptions out there.
