It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

My quote of the day

Ronald Reagan
The objective I propose is quite simple to state: to foster the infrastructure of democracy - the system of a free press, unions, political parties, universities - which allows a people to choose their own way to develop their own culture, to reconcile their own differences through peaceful means.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

I can't believe I have been drilling stones for 4 1/2 years now! I remember back when my crystal jewelry was only wire wrapped, then I learned macrame, and next came drilling! I wonder what I will learn next in my jewelry making journey......

Yes. Praying I'm wrong, about what's coming, but resigned to the fact that, probably not.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

Doing well in Snappytown today. The ICE goons are being fairly quiet since the incident of detaining an ambulance with an injured man from leaving the premises AND threatening to shoot the medic. Yeah, that was cool.

Y’all have a good day! 🐸

Not to worry, he'll pretend that didn't happen and continue to refuse to swear Ms. Grijalva in. And blame it on a Democratic plot.

Because he's just THAT disgustingly dishonest.
