Retired Navy, retired Correction Officer, retired VA. Progressive resister. Proudly ANTIFA! I retired to my forever home, ageing gracefully in the beautiful north woods of Minnesota. If God ever retires, I'm pretty sure this is where he'll come.

Why shouldn't they be at increased risk? Every American is at increased risk by everything this troglodyte lays his hand to.

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Bob and Ray on Letterman in 1982, Dave can barely contain himself. Bob's young son Chris was interning on the show and would appear later as Marlon Brando and the Guy Under the Seats.

Guys it pains me to say that the party of Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond and William F. "The White Race Deserves to Rule the South" Buckley has turned cartoonishly racist.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?

Negotiating a budget deal? No.

Preventing premiums from doubling? No.

Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.

He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.

America first?

The Pentagon’s new press policy bars journalists from reporting anything that hasn’t been approved by the Trump regime.

The NYT, Washington Post, Atlantic, and NPR are refusing to sign the agreement.

Kudos to the media outlets standing up to this blatant authoritarianism.

The good news for Trump is that nobody actually voted for him over grocery prices. Swing voters just said that to pollsters and focus groups because they didn't want to admit they were voting their racism and misogyny.
