We watched it last night. Super interesting, and a really thought out way of doing it. There were a few surprises in there, but I don't want to give it away.

She only answers to ONE PERSON, the lying felon POTUS.
Her behavior during the oversight committee hearing was unprecedented.

Lots of attempts to distract from Epstein files!

THIS IS A REAL DOOZY, RIGHT? 👇🏼

Tons of Americans follow no news at all, and don't have a clue what's happening. I would suggest sharing this story here, and beyond Bluesky at every opportunity.

Bad things happen when folks don't know what's happening.

After Trump’s regime leaked her unredacted military file to Jack Ciattarelli’s cronies, Mikie Sherrill stands tall—backed by veterans nationwide. She’s clear: if they can weaponize HER service, they’ll come for yours. No veteran’s records should ever be political ammo. #VoteNJ

Trump posted his comments on Truth Social, declaring that Barack Obama was the "leader of the gang," was caught cold by Tulsi Gabbard, and will face justice. I can't find a hint of coverage of this on the news.

WHY shut down?

Ds want Rs to agree to an extension of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits, set to expire at the end of year. If it doesn't happen, premiums could more than double for millions of Americans.

There’s an off ramp as wide as the world to get out of this. Real bipartisanship and solving a real health care problem for constituents should be the order of the day.

Where’s he been as this came to a head? Why shut down before negotiating? Why believe he will negotiate now, when he hasn’t until now? He’s the Senate President and the Trump shutdown plan was no secret.

Vance says he’ll talk Obamacare premiums with Schumer — but only with government open

The federal government shut down in the early morning Wednesday, with furloughs coming for up to 750,000 federal employees, per the Congressional Budget Office.

Trump to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out."

There are laws that are supposed to prevent the military from being used against civilians.

American generals receive considerable guidance about staying out of domestic politics and issues.

All of that is for a very important reason.

Today, I was in downtown Portland walking peacefully with Oregonians to say that we don’t need military intervention here.
We are peaceful.
We are united.
We are Oregon.

With basically no notice, a huge crowd showed up in downtown Portland to protest Trump’s deployment of the US military to our city.

After the rally, the crowd marched through Portland, Kotek and Mayor Wilson at the front, chanting “Show Trump what Portland looks like! This is what Portland looks like!”
