For the foreseeable future, this account will focus largely on American politics.

You can get my woodworking stuff and lighter fare, without the editorials and memes, at my alter ego:

TRUMP: “Suspending who?” 🤷🏼

Her notes for the Senate Judiciary Committee had nothing to do with her work leading the DOJ, or even the embattled border czar. Rather, Bondi had collected screenshots of social media posts, prewritten comebacks, and handwritten notes she hoped could give her a good “gotcha” moment.

Apparently Stephen Miller has gotten a bit touchy about his height since AOC commented that he looked angry for being 4 foot 10 inches.

A hot camera caught him talking to his aides about how he really isn’t short at all…

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Nearly 70% think the economy is on the wrong track

The polls reflect the economy far better than the stock markets.

The disconnect is empowering Trump's drive for dictatorship.

Elizabeth Warren @warren.senate.gov · 1d

Trump’s nominee to be the Army’s lawyer is confused about the First Amendment.

Independent journalists must be free to report the facts without fear of retaliation.

If we're sending troops to war under false pretenses, Americans have a right to know.

Graphic with Senator Warren asking: Is it consistent with the First Amendment for DOD to revoke a reporter’s press credentials for publishing a story that’s critical of President Trump?

DoD official responds: Yes... If the basis was that the person published information that was not otherwise approved for release by the Department.

Senator Warren Responds: Whoa.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01) @repstansbury.bsky.social · 1d

It’s Tuesday afternoon, around 4 pm – and there is literally no one here in the House of Representatives. Not a soul on what should be a busy day.

And, why? Because the GOP has shut it down. Literally.

Rep. Stansbury: there is nobody here in the House

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

There is no budget "deal" to be made

President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

Why does the Attorney General of the United States, under oath before Congress, raise accusations that she doesn’t know to be true? That’s not the forum where you spread unsubstantiated (false) charges.
