What a shitshow.

All of it. Everything.

People have lost their fucking minds.

"The American Church is now fully a part of the Catholic Church."

May be that American Catholics need to decide who they truly worship.

The Internet is quite amusing today. A lot of things to steal.

Tesla is tanking right now. Down almost 5% today.

Musk's targeting of Navarro is funny. I'm certain the tariff turmoil is impacting Tesla, but there are a few other things.

Burning down Twitter, Nazi salutes, Baby Mama drama, DOGE...Musk is the problem.

I just realized that I had a dream that I was in some odd bar with many of you, but as some of you don't have actual photos of you as your avatar, I was talking to birds, symbols, and Hollywood stars.

😂😂😂

We had a lovely time, BTW.

Democratic state parties are going to become very important in 2026.

@inthehands

Yes! I am hoping that some 2028 hopefuls see that there will be competition for Democratic votes.

There are a few like Booker that are setting the bar, and hopefully, that bar will continue to rise.

"House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday exercised his power of the gavel — and tried to bring it down with an unusually aggressive effort to squash a proposal for new parents in Congress to able to vote by proxy, rather than in person, as they care for newborns.

His plan failed, 206-222."

This law helps both parties. A GOP Representative just announced she was pregnant. Johnson is a fool.

My father-in-law told me that he is thinking about legally changing his name. He grew up thinking his middle name was his mother's maiden name. When he was 20, he needed a copy of his birth certificate and learned that his middle name was actually the last name of his father's best friend.

He says that he has been asked to explain the discrepancy several times during background checks for jobs.

He said he is thinking about changing his name because despite being born in the US, he is of Mexican descent, and if he is ever detained, he is worried the name discrepancies may be an issue that could lead to him being deported.

My father-in-law is a three-time Trump voter.

So true.

Maybe two or three.

Waiting - impatiently - for the associate attorney to send us the draft of the due process complaint for our review. And I'm reading about what happens if the DOED - not DOE as I recently learned that stands for the Department of Energy - is eliminated.

Well, in our world, as our son receives Special Education services AND attends a Title I school, the district may need to rethink how it approaches disputes involving Special Education at Title I schools.

Our first dispute started in 2021, just six months after my husband was elected to his position as a School Board Member representing the area of our city with the most Title I schools and low test scores. A district official told him that if he wanted his son to receive a good education, he needed to move his son to a good school on the other side of town.

"I have to move my kid from the school I represent to get a good education? Is that what you said?" my husband asked.

The district official did not respond.

@TonyStark

I'm seeing quite a few people that are stepping away.

I hope you keep the account and return, but I understand the need to focus on other things.

Thank you for your voice in this fight. 💙

Some AZ numbers for Maricopa County:

130K have voted today, so far.

Dem: 26.7K (21%)
Other: 50.9K (39%)
GOP: 52.4K (40%)

I'll be updating this one.

Updated Maricopa numbers:

Dem: 30K (20%)
Other: 57.5K (40%)
GOP: 57.9K (40%)

It is expected that unaffiliated voters will surpass the GOP.

Ohio is expected to beat its 2020 turnout.

Not sure if that would give an advantage to Harris and Brown, but Ohio is a state that voted to protect abortion in November 2023.

Dance party on the Rocky staircase in Philly!

The Philadelphia crowd - young and diverse. And massive.

LFG!

Lady Gaga singing God Bless America.

And Lady Gaga is on!
