Fuck this shit

I’m going to confess. I am in the midst of a move (and NOT out of the country but into the eye of the storm- yes DC) and I have not written a word in weeks. I am returning to a city that is NOT the one I left 11 years ago. But I won’t give up on it. Maybe a good story will come from this.

Every time the GOP lies about Saturday’s peaceful protests, our massive No Kings Day events get even bigger.

We thank Republicans for their attention to this matter!

Aaron Rupar on Bluesky: “Trump on No Kings: "They have their day coming up.
I hear very few people are gonna be there, by the way. But they have their day coming up and they want to have their day in the sun."”

"Over the 12 months ended in August, the price of coffee increased 20.9%, Labor Department data showed; ground beef was up 12.8%, and bananas rose 6.6%. Dairy, fruits and vegetables and cereals have all become pricier."

Grocery Prices Keep Rising. Frustrated Consumers Are Trying to Adapt.

Record beef prices and coffee that costs $1 more per pound since May have shoppers cutting back on some foods, stockpiling others.

Cannot overstate how ludicrous it is that House Republicans have been on paid vacation for FOUR WEEKS while the government has been shut down the last four days.

It should offend every single American!
