House sparrows go completely silent and disappear from my yard whenever a hawk flies over. They don’t help the hawk.

I wish US voters were as smart as birds.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

I offer free rides to protests and then mug the paid protesters for their Soros bucks. It’s a decent living.

Ron Johnson on the No Kings protest: "One of the things I hope Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are looking into is the funding of these groups. Who pays for the busses to bus a lot of these folks in?"

Happy Wednesday friends!!

Just a few more days til we go and make some good trouble while being loud af🔥💯

I've been fairly silent on this purple revolution ridiculousness.

I will say this though. You can't trust self-serving folks. Especially of the maga variety.

Stay safe y'all!

No Kings protests are bipartisan events. MAGA politicians believe anyone against the violence and lawlessness of the Trump regime is their enemy. So be it.

There is more public information available on what Republican politicians think about what happens in restrooms, classrooms, bedrooms, bars, restaurants, homes and even our pants, than what you can find about what they think on any given piece of legislation.

Untrained, unidentified, masked men, on private property, with no warrants, they NOT law enforcement and they don’t care about laws. This is the Wild West and they are the bad guys.
