Watching the season finale of Daredevil. Do right-wingers watch TV or movies? Whose side are they on? Daredevil vs Kingpin, Luke vs the Emperor, Indiana Jones vs the Nazis? I don’t get it. Don’t they see that Trump is just a dumber version of Kingpin? Be the hero, not the villain.

There were some painfully horrible AI-generated images in some of the talks today. Please, I beg you, before you put an AI image in a presentation or publication, ask a smart friend to look at the image first!

I am at the Joint Symposium for Working K9s. Awesome conference bringing together trainers, handlers, researchers, veterinarians for all disciplines of K9s (law enforcement, medical detection, explosives detection, search and rescue, etc). People are still working despite federal uncertainty.

This is what Democrats need to do. Filibuster EVERYTHING and veto EVERYTHING. Stop playing nice.
Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk.

Ugh, the stupidity hurts. Here in Utah we believe in small government! People have a right to choose if they get cavities in their teeth! Oh, but if someone has hurt feelings about seeing a rainbow, then we believe in big government.

Secretary Hegseth lied to the American people.
The White House lied to the American people.
The American people are not stupid.
The war plan information that Hegseth texted to a journalist on the unsecure Signal chat would have been classified.
Hegseth needs to resign.
