This is a story in pictures about some drama that took place on our hillside. These momma deer and turkeys were doing their thing together on the hillside. I ran up to get my camera and when I came back, they were on high alert.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

*If all goes by the regular schedule

Wow - Johnson's calling the House back. Will he swear in Grijalva so she can sign the petition? What then?

He said: "Prices are down under Trump.'

Me: "It is quite literally false. There's not a single way you can interpret a word that the man's saying..as being remotely reflective of either what we're seeing in data from all across the country or in people's everyday lives."

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

"If I were in the Senate, I wouldn’t vote for this compromise. Shutdowns are an opportunity to make your arguments, and the country was just starting to pay attention... I worry that Democrats have just taught Trump that they will fold under pressure."

To Trump, the illegality of his unilaterally imposed tariffs seems to be a feature not a bug — part of a concerted effort to barrel through the remaining checks being placed on executive power by Congress and the Supreme Court. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

No former and current federal employee should feel good about the fact that chuck and gang have decided to cave on the ACA subsidies.

It’s a slap to the face of everyone who has suffered this far to fight back. Every single one of them needs to be primaried.

This guy gets it:
“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

Important to note that the DNC, House Dems, 2028 contenders, and even the most pro-leadership pundits and influencers are all laying on Senate Dems right now.

They betrayed all of us. Schumer has no allies left.

It can be hard to do math in your head, while standing up, on national television. Nerve-wracking, too. But even so, in twenty seconds on the air, I did a better job than the President in costing his latest idea and figuring out whether his new idea of a $2,000 rebate check will work. (It won't.)

We do not vote for Democrats so they could side with Republicans.

If this is what we wanted we would have just voted for Republicans to begin with.
