#Democrats are tying Washington #corruption, politicians' #self-enrichment, #corporate-influence & billionaire donors to rising #living-costs like groceries, gas and medicine & promise reforms, in #midterm campaign message. Republicans say message is hypocritical.

Tides in Santa Barbara are running 1-2 feet above predicted levels. Why? Thermal expansion due to record ocean temperatures, the Kelvin waves from the current El Nino and tropical storm Rachel.

Interesting times are getting even more interesting.

I see this graphic “Republicans didn’t cut government waste.”

Yes, they did.

They DID cut out the waste.

Those pesky masses that want entitlements.

The 70+ million just didn’t think, THEY WERE THE WASTE!

And 93 million didn’t care, who the hell they got rid of.

The American Way.
See, they never plan ahead, these ninnys. Ask yourself this, “you call libs radical? Wait until these ferals get hungry enough. Not enough beer money. Sick, but clinic closed. No gas to go 200 miles to the E.R.? Yeah. You thought we blue hats were angry?

I distinctly recall him AND MAGA complaining about Obama golfing.

Now crickets, even when he’s destroying our country?

With all the problems, he’s golfing?

Just amazing.

But this is America.

in the past 36hrs, Ukraine’s military launched drone strikes against two major data centers outside of Moscow. analysts view these centers as a major source of bot (farms) and other disinformation digital mediums.

it may have come from Russia but my money is on another nefarious state actor…

The staggering numbers of missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW) is a national travesty.

Native women deserve safety.
Native women deserve visibility.
Native women deserve justice.

Idaho Public Press: Trump stood in front of supporters in Rocky Mount, NC and tried to explain Hurricane Helene: “It was a travesty, it was a vicious, it was water, the water was the worst we’d ever seen, it was a water hurricane, that’s what it was.”

Abolish ICE.
I hear that.
And I raise you.
I want to see all of DHS abolished.
The entire system needs to be dismantled and replaced.
These institutions have been overrun and occupied by criminals.
Dismantle all of it.

EXACTLY the way I saw it.

I wonder what my fellow Americans were seeing?

They were FOOLED!

And still continue to be?

Trickle down anyone?

Remember, no one is above the law.

Republicans are the party of law and order?

Fiscal Responsibility?

Social values?

You were HAD!

FOR DECADES!

Stop it
