"Not a single committee held a hearing on a [Republican] bill that would slash trillions of dollars from federal agency budgets and revoke clean climate tax credits. Not one committee held the traditional legislative markup to consider amendments and further debate on the measure. Not one Democrat had input into the measure."

Well...it's so frustrating having one night of good sleep teasing you with what is possible and then going back to the broken normal...oh, well...I am taking the day off today since I need that for both physical and mental refreshing....didn't get a lot done yesterday but I think I'll do a little cleaning today but that is not going to happen until I get more coffee in me...don't need to cook for the next few days with all of the leftovers in the fridge...lots of chicken...good morning!

@ianbetteridge Brexit continues to meet its goals. Brexit was intended to restore power to the parties and politicians in Britain, not improve the lives of everyday Britons.
"Waltz, one of several Florida members of Congress to back Trump this week over Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, specifically cited Trump’s ability to restore American 'credibility.'
Lies alone perhaps cannot ruin a democracy, but lies plus impunity are another thing entirely. Where is the word that can fully capture the cynicism of endorsing a man who was arguably the biggest liar in the history of the American Presidency because of the credibility he would bring to the office?"

No Labels: A Wolf in Bipartisan Sheep's Clothing
Oh, the sweet siren song of bipartisanship. No Labels lures us in with the promise of unity, but Rick Wilson warns it's just a pro-Trump super PAC in disguise. Apparently, these so-called "centrists" have a secret agenda: prop up conservative Dem Joe Manchin to siphon votes from Biden, all to ensure Trump's triumphant return. So much for Kumbaya, folks. Time to burn down the facade and save our democracy from this devious plot.

The past 8 years are the hottest 8 years in the instrumental record.
In fact, the last 20+ years are the hottest 20+ years in the record.
This is #climatechange.
I'm warning you!
This northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is puffed up, probably alarmed and issuing a waring to some other bird. A frame later, it was back to normal and looking much slimer.
"Look for Northern Mockingbirds sitting high on tall shrubs, poles, or utility lines. Around your yard, you can also look for them running or hopping along your mowed lawn. You may be able to first identify the presence of a Northern Mockingbird by listening for its song which usually mimics numerous other birds at once." - allaboutbirds.org

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
