Enjoying my exodus to bluer skies. Especially enjoying talking about football, baseball, books, art, gardening and cooking with a mindful dose of politics, philosophy and religion (ie everything you shouldn’t talk to family about, especially mine lol)

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE. She wasn’t just killed, she was murdered.

The right was already trying to vilify her before we even knew her name. But I’m just going to say it…

They’re going to have a much harder time doing that this time.

She’s not Brown.
She’s not Black.
She’s white.

The way this dude is bending over backwards to give everyone the benefit of the doubt except the victim is wild.

Good on Katy Tur for putting a check on him and saying what needed to be said.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”

So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.

Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?
Kavanaugh in a footnote in today's opinion says "the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity."

BREAKING: Reps. Ro Khanna & Thomas Massie say the DOJ’s Epstein release violated federal law.

Hundreds of thousands of pages dumped without compliance. A 119-page grand jury file fully redacted. Court records missing pages. Survivors still denied disclosures. This was a violation.

A blockade is literally an act of war. Just mounting one is declaring war. Without Congressional approval or public support.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

This is a genuine problem/ challenge.

Turning off intrusive AI features, from Gmail, also turns off useful anti-spam and related features.

(Sort of like Trump using the govt shutdown as excuse to end all SNAP benefits. Google didn't have to do this.)

To be clear, the only reason the orange felon and fascist republicans are suddenly in support of releasing the Epstein Files is because bribe for hire Pam Bondi and lunatic Kash Patel spent months scrubbing all damaging info about him. The cover up is what they were waiting for.

Not three months ago, Bondi and Patel stated unequivocally that there was nothing more to investigate (but that is indeed the reason the will give for not releasing the files now)
Instead of just releasing the Epstein files, Trump ordered the DOJ to investigate Democrats and AG Pam Bondi is complying.

Are they setting up a pretext to block the release by arguing the files are now part of an active investigation? I’m not saying that would work, but he’s desperate to block.

Schumer may have voted no but people are tired of the DC dance.

✅ The 8 senators admit they kept him in the loop
✅ The 8 senators that voted yes are not up for reelection
✅ His No. 2 voted yes

We need a new politics with new faces for working people.

I get what Bernie sanders is saying when he’s asked if Schumer should be replaced, he says: who’s gonna replace him & that any replacement would be of a similar ideology and not a “progressive.”

I get that but there is a diff between “as left wing as Ilhan Omar” & “can hit the don’t-cave button”

first it's pensions, then it's healthcare, then vacation, finally it's the wages, pretty soon you're just going to one box to work all day for no money and going to another to get the rest of snap to eat, which sounds a lot like how they described the soviet union to me in the 80s but what do i know
Is this good? It doesn't seem good.

Yesterday, Chuck Schumer and his fellow cowards showed once again that our politicians do not serve the people; they serve their donors and themselves. This political system is broken and the leadership is out of touch. If Schumer is not immediately replaced, Dems should lose any trust that remains.
