I would rather be in my woods right now with my goats and dogs. 1/30/2025 - I'm calling on Trump to step down as President for the many catastrophic failures he's already caused during his current term.

Back in the 1980's, A&W tried to add a third (1/3) pound burger to compete with McDonald's popular quarter (1/4) pounder. It failed they found because so many people thought that 1/3 was less than 1/4.

And that helps me understand how/why people voted for Trump.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

The Epstein flap in DC has taken down a foreign official as the UK fires its ambassador to Washington, Peter Mandelson, after a flurry of emails and other correspondence painted a vivid portrait of his close ties to the convicted sex offender. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/w...

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin.

If workers stand together, they will win.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

Why is Trump honoring J6 rioter Ashli Babbitt and not Capital Police Officer Brian Sicknick — both lost their lives:

Babbitt attacking The Capitol.

Sicknick protecting The Capitol.

Can anyone explain?

Trump will be giving military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt, the J6 insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol with a violent mob. He is also giving her family $5 million in taxpayer dollars.

Fallen Capital Police officer Brian Sicknick, who lost his life trying to protect the Capitol, gets NOTHING!

They’ll just sit Shane Gillis in the Oval Office doing his Trump impersonation for the rest of this term and the people in the MAGA base are either too dumb to know any different or will think it’s hilarious…

"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."

Ashli Babbitt Already Got What She Deserved

She doesn't deserve full military honors.

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.
