You know you’re a terrible president when High school students lead a protest of thousands of people. This is Asheville, NC
RT if you never voted for Trump 🖐️🖐️😁
Linda McMahon fired half the staff at the Office for Civil Rights—the people who handle cases of sexual harassment & assault against students.
Know how many cases have been resolved since then?
Neither did she. But you'd think the Secretary of Education could count to ZERO.
Fox Host Jessica Tarlov responds to the “but their rhetoric” criticisms:
You say Democrats went out and called Donald Trump a threat to democracy. Absolutely. The guy still doesn't accept the 2020 results, and a majority of the party doesn't as a consequence of the fact that he continued to proliferate that lie.
Republicans who are out there criticizing Democrats right now are the ones who run from reporters in the hallways when Donald Trump has done something absurd, like celebrate Rob Reiner's death, or say Bob Mueller, good riddance.
You said you could run through things that Democrats have said? Donald Trump has said: enemy within, communist, marxist, radical thugs, vermin, sick, party of hate, evil..
Fran Lebowitz on Trump: “This person who is a pipsqueak of a person. He’s not a person. He’s not even a squirrel. And yet he affects the whole world. A squirrel would be a much better president. If he ran against a squirrel, I would vote for the squirrel”
The South Lawn of the White House fell silent.
Cameras turned. Marines stood at attention. And a helicopter touched down — piloted by a woman who had already done the impossible, twice.
Her name is Jennifer L. Grieves.
She grew up in Alameda, California, with no military family background, no connections, and no roadmap. She enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1990, driven by one simple desire: to belong to something she could be proud of.
She had no idea she was about to make history.
Before anyone handed her that honor, she had to earn it the hard way.
She flew CH-53E Super Stallions — massive, powerful military helicopters — into some of the most dangerous airspace on earth. She deployed aboard the USS Iwo Jima, flying in Operation Iraqi Freedom when the outcome of that war was still very much uncertain. She flew in Liberia during a humanitarian crisis. She served in Djibouti, Africa, teaching younger pilots how to survive nighttime combat missions.
Dust. Heat. Enemy fire. No guarantees.
She kept flying.
Her record earned her a Combat Action Ribbon, three Meritorious Service Medals, and multiple Air Medals — decorations that don't come from showing up. They come from performing under extreme pressure, repeatedly, without breaking.
Then came the moment that changed everything.
In May 2008, her commanding officer selected her as one of only five pilots in the entire Marine Corps authorized to fly the President of the United States.
She was the first woman ever chosen for that role.
No fanfare. No announcement. Just a quiet selection — and an enormous responsibility.
For the next fourteen months, she flew President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama across the country and around the world. Seven countries. Dozens of missions. The South Lawn of the White House, where a mistake in front of every camera in America was never an option.
She never made one.
Then came her final flight.
July 16, 2009.
Something remarkable had been quietly planned for weeks. Marines volunteered from their days off just to be part of it. Officers advocated for it. And when it was approved, it became something no one in Marine Corps history had ever seen.
Jennifer Grieves lifted off from the South Lawn of the White House with an all-female crew for the very first time in history.
President Obama boarded, landed at Andrews Air Force Base, then walked to the front of the aircraft. He looked at Grieves and her crew. He told them how proud he was. Then he placed one of his personal presidential coins in her hand.
"He said he'd always felt like he was in good hands with all of us," she later recalled.
She wasn't doing it for recognition. She never was.
"It's not really about being a female," she once said. "It's about being a Marine."
But for every woman who flies a military helicopter today — every young girl who sees herself in the cockpit now — it was very much about being a female, too. Because Jennifer Grieves proved what was possible before most people thought to ask the question.
She served presidents.
She served Marines in combat.
She served her country across three decades.
And she did it all with the quiet confidence of someone who simply refused to accept that history had already been written.
She was still writing it.
No links. No news. No difficult content. Just rescued dogs, safe and playing.
And still, almost no reach.
So we have to ask if this platform still works for the dogs.

TWEEPS: Trump votes by mail in every election, yet he's pushing the SAVE Act to end mail-in voting for millions of Americans.
If it’s secure enough for him, it’s secure enough for us.

This is how these two big Golden Retrievers and their tiny black-and-white cat sleep every night. They cram into one little blue bed in the laundry room, cat claiming the middle like it’s her throne while the gentle giants carefully make room.
Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is the very very low level of job creation. If you adjust what has been the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is the overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"
