The shooter hasn't had a trial but the Trump already found him guilty.

President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social that both Guardsmen were critically wounded and in separate hospitals. Trump added the shooter was wounded and “will pay a very steep price.”

If she wants to quote the Bible, maybe she should start with 1 Corinthians 14:34 - “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.”

Or is she not “that” Christian?
Texas Republican candidate, Valentina Gomez, is now going to queer friendly or non traditional churches to disrupt them in the middle of services.

@homelandcbp.bsky.social is using license plate readers to monitor Americans. This is at best a profound invasion of privacy and at worst a deep violation of the Fourth Amendment. I'm demanding answers.

Looks like our next president is going to be Senator Mark Kelly.

Larry should try FM radio. Then he wouldn’t be so bothered by the electric buses he claims “wipes out his radio signal” every time they drive by.
Larry Andrews is against the tax. Cecily Rubinol, who is newer to Spokane, said the affordability factor was an attraction to Spokane. Rubinol, who works at Nordstrom, is in opposition to the tax as are other coworkers at Nordstrom, because it charges people to come to work.

I’ve noticed that the loudest voices urging City Council to vote no on the Local Option Transportation Tax are wealthy property owners. They warn it will cut into their profit margin even though they make plenty from their flat parking lots already.
Betsy Cowles (yes, that Cowles) Is here to speak on behalf of Riverfront Square and the Cowles Company. She wants them to vote no. It won't be an incentive to develop surface lots, she said, because development cost too much and "the rents don't connect."

Lowe also said he thinks comments about the office vacancy rate are disingenuous because most of those vacancies are in three large buildings.

"Sounds like a skill issue on the part of the business owners, none of which are located in WA state."

The Trump cult values service members just as much as Trump does. They think soldiers are stupid and are not capable of discernment. To claim an enlisted service member is incapable of telling what is and what isn’t an illegal order is insulting.
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?

McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took

(Not a no!)

Started learning Lateralus on guitar today. It felt perfect since today is Fibonacci Day. My youngest recognized it right away, which made it even better.

Hearing Trump suggest that Jamal Khashoggi somehow deserved to be murdered because he was “not a nice guy” is sickening. America has a president who defends killers instead of standing for basic decency.

The DOJ needs to investigate Trump to see which terrorist organizations he is a member of.

🎶 How do you solve a problem like Bovino?
How do you catch a racist and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Bovino?
A fascist-thug
A viscous-pug
A clown 🎶
Whoever currently owns copyright to Charlotte’s Web should send Bovino a cease and desist. He shouldn’t use reference to a kids book to justify torturing kids. Hands off Charlotte!

Folk horror is set in remote, isolated areas where nature — and the superstitions of the locals — hold sway. Think: The Wicker Man and Midsommar. It is perfect, spooky, autumnal viewing.
This horror genre is scary as folk – and perfect October viewing

I woke up this morning and began to watch the news. Then I thought, “You don’t have to do that.”

So I’ve been watching live Queen performances and I feel good! A much better choice than the news this morning.

Watching all those @datelinenbc.bsky.social episodes with @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social paid off! Cleanup was easy!

This is driving me crazy. The New York Times calling this madness an “anti-drug operation” is one of the worst forms of propaganda: accepting stated motivations of powerful people as the truth.

To my fellow vets, what is your reaction to these pathetic standards? More than a third of ICE agents have failed these standards!
This gives me confidence against these fascist pricks.

One big issue for veterans is not knowing what benefits exist or how to access them. I spend a lot of time researching and am often surprised by what’s out there. But there’s a big gap between benefits being available and vets actually being able to use them.
Veterans involved in the justice system face unique challenges as they reenter their communities. It's up to Congress to work with VA and community partners to do the best we can for ALL veterans.

Listen to Mo Siedor explain.
