If I don't follow you back, it's most likely because:

No to few posts
No bio; tell us something about you

And of course, if you're MAGA, that's a big no😁

Mike Johnson said Adelita Grijalva could be sworn in whenever she wanted, but of course a GOP spokesman back-pedaled that comment.

God @thegodpodcast.com · 9h

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

Please pass this on so those in Missouri and Ohio will put their signatures in.

Guardrails of Democracy @demguardrails.bsky.social · 1d

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?

I am loving Portland more every day; naked bike riders are protesting against federal incursion.

Naked bike riders demonstrate against federal troops in 'quintessentially Portland' protest

Protesters are pedaling through Portland's streets wearing nothing or close to it to rally against the Trump administration.

The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them.

Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp.

They’re Trump’s puppets, and everyone knows it.

Evangelicals Sold Their Souls For Him, But Trump Suggests He's Going To Hell

Evangelical Christians threw their faith out the window to support Donald Trump, but now Trump is saying that he thinks there is nothing he can do to get into heaven.

No surprise here; Trump occasionally talks tough when it comes to Putin, then continues to do his bidding.

I would think Bondi has already committed several offenses for which she should be barred, so I don't understand why not.

Today's daily dog is the affectionate, loyal Sussex Spaniel. These happy dogs were bred as bird dogs, are laid-back, but need early introduction to children, other pets, etc.
This mild-mannered, loyal dog will be happiest with a handler that has some experience. Can be gassy and drool :-)
