S1, Ep 3, White House Chief of Staff, sarcastically, “Yes, because what we really need to do right now is arrest people who are mean to the President!”
#aaronsorkin predicted the future again.

Anyone seen or heard from #chuckschumer lately? I ain’t talking about his BS nonsensical sound bite the other day basically admitting that he’s waiting for Trump to do that one thing that will piss him off and into action. Our top Dem has caved!
NEW: DoJ employees asked for guarantees in writing for the deferred resignation Fork in the Road plan. They were sent this. It strips the signer of the right to sue, and also says if you commit a felony, you’re not eligible for federal employment. Oh, the irony.
Do me a favor—share this quick explainer by @reeciecolbert.bsky.social with folks ‘confused’ about the LAFD budget cut and its impact on the fires.
Spoiler: the “budget cut” was covered by an overrun. Translation? The department didn’t run out of money—they spent far more than originally approved.
The idea that hydrants running dry as wildfire swept through Palisades is some sort of surprise failure of government is absurd. That system was never designed to solve that problem. Whether it should be is a matter for experts and voters to decide going forward.
This makes everything The Orange Clown and his fluffers in tech are doing even scarier.
“Let’s F up the EU for our own personal gain!”

Trump: 5 kids from 3 women -- cheated on them all
Hegseth: 7 kids from 3 women -- cheated on them all
Musk: 11 kids from 3 women -- cheated on them all
All 3 men accused of rape & sexual abuse. So these are the strong family values that are going to make America great again? Interesting.
Day 4 of the #butternutfire.
The night crew relayed that things were getting potentially disastrous as the fire crept closer & closer to claiming our jobs, our 2nd home, our dreams. If the winds came before daylight…..
At about 5am, as if perfectly written into a Steven Spielberg summer blockbuster, the first rainstorm in 4 months opened up and repeatedly began smacking down the flames, unrelenting for the next 6 hours.
Just as quickly as the fire spread from 100 to over 1500 burned acres and counting, we were out of imminent danger.
However, wildfires are done when they are good & ready. And she ain’t done yet…..
0% - containment
0 - Number of ski resort acres burned
Day 3 of the now coined BUTTERNUT FIRE in the Berkshires, MA was nearly the day we lost it all. The resort was surrounded by smoke & the fire was just beneath the ridge. Winds were predicted to hit 40mph in our direction.
Fire crews & our incredibly dedicated resort staff spent the day, quite literally, within 100’ of the fire digging fire breaks and clearing dead trees & brush.
We’ve had less than 1” of rain since July. As sunset closed in signaling the “wait and see” period until sunrise, things were not looking good.

Day 2 of the Great Barrington Wildfire was a rollercoaster. In less than 24 hours it went from 100 acres to 1100 and is headed along the ridge line to towns miles away leaving charred forest in its wake. Smoke is thick everywhere and ash is falling from the sky.
We spent the day digging fire breaks & cutting down dead trees literally up & down the mountain to keep the fire at bay while we wait for the rain & air support. Big winds starting at midnight with rain at 5am. Embers are lined up at the ridge. Could go either way.
While this fire will not be fully extinguished until late winter, with the root systems literally smoldering underground, we WILL still open for the ski season on time….as long as the all powerful Mother Nature brings us snow.
Containment = 0%
Number of ski resort acres burned = 0
….. before the firefighters & #nationalguard could resume again at daylight. No rain predicted until Thursday. Now we can only hope there is something to fight for at 6am. Please put us in your thoughts tonight.
#climatechange striking again. A drought in New England turned a small brush fire into a #wildfire now threatening homes & our local family owned ski resort. We spent all day preparing for the fire to crest the ridge during the night….
Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO
I’ve been posting this like crazy. Thirty states have local elections. WI and PA have Supreme Court elections and VA and NJ have statewide. Want to send a message to Trump and MAGA? Win those races. OK has primaries on Feb 11th! Want to fight that lunatic Education Sec there? RUN for school board!
🚨 Gaetz can’t stop an Ethics Committee witness from coming forward & testifying that he raped a child. Watch for my video breakdown tomorrow on Legal AF youtube.com/@legalafmtn?...flip.it/a7hnhb
What disappoints me most about his supporters is that their entire platform is about HURTING others.
Taking away rights.
Taking away benefits.
Taking away a path to citizenship.
It’s a platform based on cruelty.
They hate their lives and prefer if everyone suffered rather than solving it.
Sad.
The goal of propaganda is often paralysis
Which can result from outrage
Know what is happening, and of course react, but do not drown in it

Just a thought - don’t actually #deleteyourtwitter acct. Delete everything, including profile pic, and simply keep the account up. This way no maga psychopath can take your account name (and any of your pics they may have saved) & impersonate you or worse. Cuz you know they will. #holdgrudgesmuch
Can someone smarter than me plz explain why Biden hasn’t, by executive order, ordered the Gaetz Report OPEN and delivered to Congress?? If Trump plans on doling out EOs left & right, then let’s go! Play their game. Put Harris on SCOTUS & take care of business NOW. Time’s a tickin!
OMG. This is real.
Today, Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters told school leaders statewide they must play this video of him to all their students & send it to all parents.
In it, he bashes ‘woke unions’, announces a new “Office of Religious Liberty & Patriotism” & prays for Trump.
I’m shocked, shocked, I say, to learn that Trump’s tariffs plan will cost ALL OF US when we go shopping for iPhones, I mean eggs. 🤦🏻♂️

BEST thing about this site,, I can hide negative replies and unattach my posts from reposts that are rude,,, I ain’t gonna take no negativity or trolling on my page.
You will not build up by tearing others down here.
Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.
Daaamn, #robertfkennedy, that’s gotta sting just a lil, eh? Half the country, and your family thinks you’ve lost yr f’n mind and 90% of the remaining half probably couldn’t list one thing you’ve done in your lifetime. #waytogo
FWIW - Common Cause's petition to the Senate opposing Gaetz as AG. I don't know if Trumpy Senators even care - but if a few GOP can be peeled off, at least THIS terrible choice might be prevented. (I know - it's like spitting in the wind but it feels good to try.)

The same people who’ve spent the last several years decrying “unqualified DEI hires” are now shoehorning through Cabinet nominations who can’t even pass a basic background test.
No one is walking away unscathed from another Trump presidency. Not even most of his supporters. They just don't know it yet.
We can choose this moment to regroup, unite and fight back or we can choose to become ghosts, cower in fear, mourn our broken hopes and dreams for America.
Choose.
