Wyoming Republicans have banned so-called “compelled speech” regarding pronouns. No one, they proclaimed, should be forced to use someone’s preferred pronouns. And yet, when Senate Chairman Tim French was addressed as “Madam Chairman”, he was not pleased. Not one bit.

This news truly breaks my heart.

We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line!

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

My latest for the San Francisco Chronicle on why the FBI is unique, and uniquely dangerous in the wrong hands www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...
The FBI is a unique agency and, in the wrong hands, it’s dangerous
The position of FBI Director is far more powerful than almost any other agency head, and the least constrained by laws or external checks.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

A huge snowstorm is beginning in the Midwest USA just now. 6"-12" (15cm-30cm) of snow is forecast, and it will be cold af the next few days. I have my larder stocked and I'm hunkered down for the duration. I'm going to bake an Australian Apple Tea Cake today. Randy Feltface gave me the recipe!

This is why you fight these cowards.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

My kid got a kazoo in his Valentine’s yesterday and, while the parent who gave these can absolutely F off, when I told my kid it was broken because he blew in it and it made no noise, my own mother heard, laughed, and then straight up betrayed me and taught him how to use it.
