When cooking with a bag of dried beans, always sort them. It doesn’t happen often….but sometimes you’ll find a stone. So glad I found it. My teeth are already shit.
The average person has voted zero times to continue the war in Iran. Tom Tiffany voted five times for Trump’s war… five times.
That’s five chances to say “enough.” And Tom Tiffany got it wrong five times.
The small seats are where the power actually lives. California school boards and sheriffs shape your kid's classroom and your neighbor's jail cell — and in Merced County, those races turn on whoever bothers to show up, so vote the whole ballot, not just the top.
Early voting is surging in several states ahead of the midterms, with turnout up significantly compared to
2022. Rachel Maddow breaks down the numbers in Georgia, North Carolina, Maine and lowa and explains why she believes Republicans are bracing for major losses.
These new programs were made possible by over $125 million in previously stalled funding that we fought hard for and secured and mark a major milestone in our work to ensure every Wisconsinite has clean, safe drinking water.

My first tomato jam was a failure. I didn’t use bottled lemon juice. That is where I failed. So I collected another 6 lbs of tomatoes and tried again. This time I was successful. Hope it tastes good. I’m learning still.
635 Days into the Trump Administration and all working families have to show for it is the largest jump in wholesale inflation in four years.
So much for lowering costs on Day One.
Independent Seth Bodnar’s campaign is funded by a multitude of AI tech billionaires. He approved a Verkada contract for over 300 AI cameras across the campus of the U of M. Don’t fall for this, Montana. Vote for the candidate who will support a data center ban, Democrat Alani Bankhead.
So I’m giving away this dictionary to a kid that is learning how to spell and finding out that words that sound the same have different spellings and meanings. I’ve been carrying this around since 1992. I have other dictionaries.
In fact, you can walk out of any church with a Bible. The people that see you do it will ask “you coming back next Sunday” but be satisfied you took the Bible. If you take dictionary from a bookstore, you have a court date.
Good Thursday morning, friends!

The momentum is with Democrats, but none of that means a damn thing if people get pushed out of the process.

Where I live is the site of the first and last public execution, when it was a territory. It was a hanging. It was horribly botched. And the man they hung wasn’t guilty of the crime. It is why the death penalty has never been on the books when the state was ratified.
The gallows remained for ages. Until a couple of years ago. As a reminder of why we don’t do that. I was irked by it being taken down. But I don’t own the property.
They painted it a bright yellow the year before. And that raised My eyebrow. It was replaced with an HVAC system. But I will point out to anyone that visits me where it was. And happily tell them what was there. There should at least be a placard there.😑I live in a historic town FFS!
Let's all AGREE that a President suggesting that a foreign adversary taking out 2 American cities is "a small price to pay" is the most fucked up thing a President ever said.
25th Amendment NOW.
Hey Wisconsin voters! There are three referendums on the ballot. All having to do with adding or changing the language of our state’s constitution. Take a look at them before you go to the polls. I am voting “no” to all 3. How you want to vote is up to you. Just want you prepared for it.
In the history of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. SMH. Politicians lie. These politicians lie so often it seems like breathing.
Keenen Colbert is running in Texas State Senate District 2
That's one of the districts Lt Gov Dan Patrick mentioned when he said some GOP Senators are in "tough races" per an item in Quorum Report. He told donors that incumbent Bob Hall, who is 84 years old, was down by 2 points
This week on State Of The States, Keenen Colbert tells
@joesudbay.bsky.social there is no excuse not to vote this year- because everyone is affected by politics.

“For $45 you can start a school and charge $7000 per student — no background checks, they weren’t teachers — and taxpayers foot the bill… SCHOOL VOUCHERS ARE A SCAM.” @GovBillLee

It’s never too late to make a difference. Whitney Echenique cast her first vote at 37. Two years later, she’s running for Georgia State House District 2. Take a minute to hear her story. If you’ve been sitting elections out, you can change that starting now. Your voice matters.
Leadership Matters!!
Making butternut squash soup. Took a look at my stock of spices. Need to hit up Penseys before the winter gets here. I’m almost out of a lot of my staples.
Real love is respect. It's open communication, it's independence, and it's safety.
