Spent the morning at the Little Bighorn National Monument , honoring the 150th anniversary of the battle between northern plains tribes and the 7th Calvary - or what the natives call “victory day.” It was powerful to see how much culture they’ve been preserved despite the best efforts of the U.S.

“And they said, sir, your supremacy is the greatest , whitest we’ve ever seen…and it’s true , we’re doing strong things with regards to supremacy.”
Oooh, I think Reuters wins first place on sane-washing headline for the Easter tweet.
The sane-washing continues. While the AP article notes he send a tweet on Easter with “praise be to Allah,” the headline attracts no attention. His insane ramblings are just “fiery threats.”
Hegseth has effectively ruptured the chain of command that our military depends on. Every soldier Joe knows they can break the rules, so long as it’s in favor of the Hegseth or Trump. Their commanders do not have the authority. Disgusting.
“Pete Hegseth is so spectacularly stupid that he used his insider knowledge of a strike on Iran to attempt a multimillion-dollar trade that LOST money.”
Markets believe the Iranians more than the president of the United States. Let that sink in.
Many dominoes have started to fall re: Iran’s strikes on Qatar. Urea shortage threatens food supplies. Helium shortage sets back chip manufacturing. Not to mention the wide ranging effects of LNG shortage.
Markets on track to lose yesterday’s gains, but don’t worry, Trump’s people all got paid from his market manipulation.
I ran for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky. Spoke to voters in in 40/120 counties. I promise you Donald Trump does not love Kentucky. To the contrary, his policies seem designed to uniquely fuck the working families across the state and destroy its major industries (healthcare, farming, manufacturing ).
Trump ignites a middle eastern war and then dances the night away at mar a lago.
They’re not even half way done. And didn’t realize it until this morning apparently, because they would have definitely informed congress sooner , right?
In which the president admits he is surrounded by medical specialists who observe him while he’s repeatedly administered cognitive exams. Vote out every single enabler of this madness. It’s the only hope for accountability.
In which the president calls many states “bad actors.” A democratic majority won’t fix everything, but it is a necessary precondition to fixing ANYTHiNG.
To Trump and his cronies ,Ukraine is just a valuable piece of real estate they are willing to trade away for access to $300 billion.
Happy Veterans Day to all who served. My service in uniform concluded a long time ago, but I hope we all as citizens remain committed to ensuring the sacrifices our veterans have made weren’t in vain.
Had a great time speaking with the Henderson County Democrats tonight. Kentucky is ready to turn the page on 42 years of Mitch McConnell.
It was great meeting with the Pulaski County Democratic Women’s club last night. Fair warning: they invited me back to sing at their Christmas party. I expect demand for tickets to be roughly on par with the Eras tour .
Every right we have in this country is because someone stood up to say “enough.” Today, we said enough to wanna-be kings. Thank you, Shelbyville! #NoKings
Why should you care that James Comey got indicted? Because the politics of revenge makes all of us less safe #KYSenate
