Some of my favorite protest signs from Sat. read: -Orange you tired of this? -King trump deserves a royal flush 🚽 -Oil is more expensive than beer. Bottoms up! - Maga! Go fact yourself! - Our America is not your kingdumb - Now he’s bombing young girls? - He had a plan to get out of one war

ABC News is reporting that the US believes that Russia is providing Iran with locations of American troops. Will someone please get this point through the head of the orange president and get him to think about Ukraine & Russia again? Think about Putin again? Think about the current war again?

Checked on a claim on my mom’s Medicare acct. The Dr already got paid. The claim hasn’t posted online. Medicare told me that the 2/17 claim would post in 4 to 6 weeks. They could send it to me and I would receive it in 15 days. Can’t help but be suspicious that orange pres. is ruining medicare.

Happy New Year! Best wishes to us all in 2026! Some of you may have caught Rachel Maddow’s interview of Timothy Snyder that aired mid-Dec. Snyder is a professor of history with expertise on authoritarians. Key resistance takeaways were: - We don’t all have to be doing the same thing to resist;

- We do have to keep it up; - We do have to impact the physical world (vs. “just” posting on social media). We enjoy our Bsky comradery but we’re preaching to our choir here; - He suggested that we choose something that we feel strongly about and get involved.

ABC Reports: Leavitt rejects Pope's comments over immigration Leavitt said, "I would reject there is inhumane treatment of illegal immigrants in the US under this administration," before pivoting to immigration policy failures of the last administration. Whose comments would you trust?

ABC reported that OR Sen Wyden asked that RFK Jr be under oath for hearing, as a witness "that has lied to members". ID Chair Crapo denied the request. Wyden: "... unwillingness ... is basically a message that it is acceptable to lie to the Senate Finance Committee .... it's a great mistake.".

At work, started an e-mail. Outlook offered Copilot "AI" to draft my e-mail. Provided Copilot the 2 sentences that I wanted to communicate. Copilot added a salutation, reworded my 2 sentences and added the ending, "Thank you for your attention to this matter." 😆 Sharing the laugh. 🙂

You are up to date.
