We absolutely must stay in the streets. Visibility is key in this fight to save the US from the PUS. Don't stop calling reps. I have solid Dem representation but am enjoying calling R-reps from MI and telling them they're weenies and making the US look like weenies. Still sending cards and leaving messages everywhere. Left some in several elevators this morning because who doesn't look around in elevators? Not going down without a fight.
Thank you Tom for another super report on Maladministration II. I call it FR2...fascist regime 2. The display put on by the felon in chief in Canada was so embarrassing...worse than the time he kissed putin's ass in Helsinki, turning that presser into hell for anyone watching. I feel confident that 1) he will die, 2) the truth of his paid alliance with putin and russian oligarchs will be revealed, and 3) his co-conspirators and enablers will be judged as traitors. I may have to watch this all play put from the other side of Glory! I believe the 6-10 million who turned out June 14 already have spoken their verdict.
Sweet little Cookie. 💔 Our dear dog, Murdoch, age 14, traveled the Rainbow Bridge last week. Always hard.
Cookie will be among a lot of friends when she leaves. This is the hardest part of treasuring our four legged family members. I'll not share today's post with my daughter, but Fox the house leopard will get some extra scratches.
""Do you support Democrats like Sanders and AOC who call for a more aggressive stance towards Trump, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise with Trump issues important to their base?"" I suppose I understand why the question might be asked, but what in the world issues are there to compromise on? Even opposition to political violence doesn't qualify after Minnesota met Mike Lee. As to anything else, Trumplethinskin doesn't maintain a policy position long enough to figure out where he stands, let alone reach a working compromise.
Also, not for nothing, Steve Daines (R-MT) and Mike Lee (R-UT) have added an amendment to the GOP's BBB that mandates selling on the order of 3 million acres of public land in 11 western states, and authorizes the sale of as much as 300,000,000 (not a typo) more acres in same said western states. See Wes Siler's Substack, which cites calculations done by the Wilderness Society (per the amendment's provisions, these calculations are extremely arcane and obscure - for a reason, ya think?).
Interestingly, Montana is excluded. No wonder... Daines is up for re-election next year and has been busy whitewashing his badly tarnished reputation. Utah is included in the proposed sell-off, but Lee isn't up for re-election until 2028.
Of course, we Minnesotans have an additional bone to pick with low-life Lee, after his despicable weekend social media posts about the political assassinations here early Saturday.
Cookie has such expressive eyes! I hate to hear she’s near the end. It’s a bitch; I’ve lost four in the last year and my Little Guy has an autoimmune condition that is becoming unsustainable. Cookie is so lucky to have you though.
I nearly lost one last year to intestinal lymphoma. She's doing well. Her chemo is a mere $5 pill every two weeks--it's the blood tests that are costly. But she is my buddy and worth every penny.
Sorry to hear about Cookie , never easy

Oh so sorry about Cookie. I hope that bridge is an "easy ride" for her. And thanks for your always on point political assessments.

Hugs for Cookie, and you. 💔
Dear Cookie 💔
Take heart in knowing that you have given her the best life, that she has been dearly loved all these years 💖
It's heart-wrenching to see our furry friends leaving us...inch by inch. May it be an easy crossing.
Zen hugs from the east.
Thank you Tom for all of
this, especially sharing
Cookie with us as she
gets ready for her next
adventure. God bless all
creatures great and
small.💜
Hugs to you and Cookie. The Jesus pic says it all. Is July 17 the correct date for the next Big One? It’s a Thursday.
Yeah, I think it has to be wrong - I don't actually see any announcements when I googled next demos
I just saw it listed as July 17 on an email from the NoKings site: https://goodtroubleliveson.org/?emci=8dbc7f5c-874b-f011-8f7c-6045bdfe8e9c&emdi=b9710b3d-ac4b-f011-8f7c-6045bdfe8e9c&ceid=3113133
So sorry about Cookie... been there.

She's 18, so she's had a pretty full life.
I nearly lost one last year to intestinal lymphoma. She's doing well. Her chemo is a mere $5 pill every two weeks--it's the blood tests that are costly. But she is my buddy and worth every penny.
Miselle, I'm glad to hear she's doing well. I hope all goes well.
Thank you.
Hugs to little Cookie, and you.
Thank you, TC. What a week so far!
The only thing I have to say tonight is …sending love to you and Cookie and I hope her transition is a peaceful one.
