We’re tied! So, right back atcha!
Thanks but you were already here when I pressed the ‘post’ button. Congrats to you…
I’ll take it and “run” with it, then. Still gonna be a lucky day for both of us, I’m sure!
Congrats Jackie or as my father used to say
Whoa Nellie…
Ha!

OFA Update
Greeting TOD family
I wanted to let you know what our local OFA will be doing today…
We are meeting at 4 in Old courthouse Square to hold up signs about background checks. e also have 4 signs with pictures of the Newtown victims and words of Thanks for Cong. Mike Thompson, cong. Jared Huffman, Senators Feinstein and Boxer. We hope to have about 20 folks. I will post pictures tomorrow.
Amid all the noise, hair on fire, and distraction, we are working on immigration, climate change, and gun violence legislation. Remember what we did in 2012, we stayed calm, put out heads down, and WORKED.
Please visit this website and find an event near you. If you don’t have an OFA team near you, write to me and I can send your information to an OFA team leader near you.

Forward…
Thanks. In addition to this fight happening nationally and in Texas, we’re also fighting to make sure the Texas legislature doesn’t close down all but five women’s clinic and make back alley abortions a thing of the present and future.
It seems like we take two steps forward and neanderthal congress members takes us 10, 000 steps backwards but the fight goes on!
You picked some good God tweets, today, UT! Among my favorites:
St. Fu is the patron saint of shutting the fuck up.
Hahahahahahaha. I loved that one too. Glad it made you chuckle!
Congrats JB on first!
Thanks, LP! Love the news about this Dublin trip.
Indeed! I’m sure the people of Ireland, as well Africa, will be overjoyed w/ their presence.
I have been to Trinity College … oh my – wait til the girls see the Long Room (the library) it is awesome!
Oooh I´ve been to Trinity College, they have the most beautiful library, I´m sure they´ll love it. 🙂
First they block funding and now they do this. I have no clue how Pres. Obama has endless supplies of patience. They cut food stamps that help people but keeping open an instrument of torture, that they will gladly fund forever. *Sigh*
You may have seen the NSA director testifying before congress the last two days…….get to know what he really does.
Well, I’m sorry I R/Td this tweet, because somebody replied and now there’s a full-up trail to me. Whoa. #ChangingMyNameToEveIn2017
Interesting article on the complicated issues and longevity of these two leaders prior to their meeting next week.
Good article. 🙂
These two, even though they´re quite different, seem to work together well and I like that a lot.
Also, we are all very grateful your guy does not do awkward backrubs.
LOL 🙂
Bob, how and where is this holding accountable going to occur?
Hi Sara, Two days ago Rep Cummings said he would release properly redacted transcripts of the interviews of IRS agents if Issa didn’t do so by today.
We’ll see.
thank you. Issa is so outrageously gross, Bob, I can hardly speakof/look at him.
We need very brilliant and sharp and good people to serve and defend the
democracy. I know this is a big old statement, easy to make; but these assholes
cause me to go blind and mute. And they are coming out of the walls, everywhere.
NorthCarolina Legislature has turned into a pit hole of ignorance and meanness,
and I don’t see how we can turn it. I apologize for the lack of robustness in my speaking.
Sara, you speak quite cogently. No need for any apologies!!
Op-ed by Gabby Giffords and the mother or Tuscon shooting victim Christina Taylor-Green…
President Barack Obama says being a father is the best job he’s got.
Obama says a Father’s Day luncheon at the White House on Friday was a great way for all the dads to celebrate the coming occasion and
remember how lucky they are. Obama has two daughters, 14-year-old Malia and 12-year-old Sasha.
Fathers and their kids along with students and leaders from the Becoming a Man program at Chicago’s Hyde Park Academy were among those treated to burgers, fries and lemonade in the State Dining Room. Obama spoke at the school in February.
His chief of staff, several economic advisers and his legislative affairs director sat with guests during the lunch.
Father’s Day is Sunday. Obama leaves that night on a three-day trip to Northern Ireland and Germany.
Repeating comment from bottom of previous post. Delurking to remind everyone to call their Congress critters for OFA today and ask where they stand on gun safety. I am in WA 10 Denny Heck supports the President and support insurance requirement for gun owners. Lets honor all those killed by senseless gun violence and CALL Congress.
Thanks, otter 44. Nancy Pelosi is my Rep and we definitely have her word on this issue.

Great selection of tweets, UT!!! St. Fu is now my most favorite saint 🙂
I agree john miller.
Japa, Snowden isn’t smart enough for this kind of thinking. There’s something/someone with lots of money behind him. This whole incident would rise to a different level if he could be proven to be paid by a foreign government for his information. In any case, I think Snowden is a tool in a larger game.
Jackie,
I think you’re on to something.
@Lawrence asked if there was any high school in the country that you could drop out of and still get a Top Secret security clearance.
Snowden’s formative years were spent a stone’s throw from NSA HQ in Maryland; wonder who he knew back then and still keeps in touch with now?
See beginning of this segment:
If There were ever 3 Fatuously, pathetic idiots ever lived in Congress today along with an equally wicked propagandist, look no further than these 3: Michele Bachmann, Steve King and Louie Gohmert.

http://www.advocate.com/politics/transgender/2013/06/14/social-security-removes-surgical-requirement-gender-marker-change
The Social Security Administration today announced a revision to its policy around changing one’s gender marker on a social security card, in a move hailed by transgender advocacy groups as a victory.
The SSA removed its requirement that transgender people wanting to amend their gender on a social security card provide proof of gender reassignment surgery, opting instead for more inclusive language that simply mandates a transgender person provide a passport or birth certificate reflecting their accurate gender, or a certification from a physician confirming that the individual has had appropriate clinical treatment for gender transition. The SSA’s revision brings its policy in line with changes made in the past three years by the U.S. State Department and Veterans Health Administration.
“Most people may not see this as a big deal, but transgender people know that this seemingly small technical change will protect their privacy and give them more control over their own lives” said Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, in a statement heralding the announcement.

JER, Tom Corbett is in a death spiral. He’s getting to the point where he has alienated so many groups within the state that you have to search with a candle to find anyone who can stand him. He’s also dumb as a doorpost and probably thinks that alienating all Latinos in the state would make him popular with his two or three remaining supporters. This week our state treasurer, Ron McCord, stepped into the ring to challenge Corbett. He’s a genuine progressive, well-spoken, charismatic and rich. Fingers crossed.
This Vanity Fair article is a MUST READ:
Thanks 57 – I was just about to post this 🙂 Excellent article from a GENUINE civil libertarian…not the fake ones who only become “concerned” about issues when they can use them to go after our President and his administration.
Hey Chris & Rachel – please read this article before spewing the stuff that you swallowed from GG’s toilet bowl..
Gee, 57, didn’t you know that ‘sane’ voices were not allowed in this hysterical NSA debate. Glen Greenwald is the only one in the country with the appropriate purity of mind to call the shots on what is an abuse of privacy or not–as his Greek chorus of Hayes and Maddow cheer him on.
I didn’t even know Eichenwald was a self-described civil libertarian because he actually did research and stuff and doesn’t use libertarian as an excuse to hate PBO. In fact, I can’t think of many tweets where he hasn’t been supportive of PBO. Gee, that’s probably because he knows that PBO is concerned with civil liberties and stuff and he’s actually researched stuff and reported it honestly. How refreshing.
This is a great article (read the preceding article that is linked as well).
GG is a complete sham. You don’t ‘spur debate’ and then resort to nothing but insult and blocking if people don’t agree with you. He is a complete sham and The Guardian should be deeply ashamed for the association with him and their immature gloating about this story.
I just LOVE my President!! The Indiana Women’s BB coach said that she is enormously grateful to PBO & FLOTUS for what they do DAILY to empower women!!!
My first time seeing the Coach Dunn and the team. I will have to check them out when the season start.
oh that was fun- loving Coach Dunn 🙂
Yes – I love her too! 🙂
yep she was great- an Obamabot after my heart 😉
That was sooooooo much fun. I freaking LOVE Coach Lin Dunn of the Indiana Fever. She’s proud to have Barack Obama as President of the United States and Michelle Obama as First Lady of the United States and she let EVERYONE know.
That’s my kind of woman!
Indeed. Unapologetic, PROUD, O’bot – just like us. 🙂
I step out the room for a few minutes and I missed the coach speaking. She said such nice things about our POTUS and FLOTUS. Coach, we too are proud to have Barack and Michelle Obama as POTUS and FLOTUS. Very proud.
UT, the president and first lady keep on supporting young girls and empowering women, while the US House and state legislatures demean women as incapable of assuming responsibility for their own health care. There is a backlash building in this country and its fury is going to make these legislatures rue the day they launched this crusade against women.

We should all use this event as a way to push to end privatization of our National Security given the inherent conflicts of profiteering when the only goal should be honorable civil service.

Bob, what’s your guess about who’s the money behind Snowden? I don’t think there’s a chance in the world this addle-pated twit acted alone. Some power–foreign or domestic–is pulling the strings. All the hysteria mongers are walk-on players, I think. If they go down in flames, they’re just collateral damage.
I agree and I think it is foreign. As my earlier tweet indicates, I think he chose Greenwald knowing he would run with things without verifying anything, giving him an excuse to skip town with some pretty damaging to our security info. He played Greenwald for a fool, which, when you think about it, is pretty easy to do.
No question he’s on someone’s payroll and whatever Booz Allen was paying him was probably pocket change compared to what he probably was & is collecting. If the intent was to harm President Obama then we can all imagine a host of plutocrats who’d pay the bills. But, given his past history of infatuation with China & North Korea, I’d have one or both of them at the top of the list.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he had help here too. I mean, who’s allowed to get the keys to the kingdom after only 3 months? In most jobs three months is probationary, which means they watch you closely to see if you would fit in and follow the rules. Even after 4 months, it usually takes a year or so before they relax around you. If that’s true in a regular business, then what about the NSA, an NSA that has like a lot of federal agencies a host of long-time employees with greater responsibility?
Okay, I’m probably getting into tin foil territory, but I find the timing of a few things rather curious…thus I hereby speculate:
This whole thing with GG, Snowden and Chris Hayes being promoted to prime time happened within weeks & months of each other. Hayes has been the main cheerleader on MSNBC for this Greenwild-snowjob SCAM-dal. Hayes is becoming just as unhinged as GG – as the story is falling apart, almost as if he’s personally invested in this story.
Hmmm…..
Almost, hf, as if they were actors in a play….. I don’t think you’re in tin foil hat territory. The story we all “see” was fishy from the beginning and gets fishier by the day.
Look at how proud coach Dunn (and the other women) are of their President 🙂
Magically 😎 😉 tossing the ball up and down, looking away at a cap? Totally skillfully done.
Now let’s see Mark Knoller try that? 😆 🙄 😆
Nena, he won’t touch that unless he can eat it!

Homemade explosives found after NY apartment blast: AP is reporting.

SPRINGWATER, N.Y. — A New York man with a stockpile of homemade bombs was apparently drying explosive material in his oven when it exploded, leading to the evacuation of several nearby homes and his arrest, sheriff’s investigators said Friday.
No injuries were reported in the Thursday night explosion, which heavily damaged the oven.
Crews responding to the blast found 30 to 40 pipe bombs and other explosive devices and firearms inside the apartment in the rural hamlet of Springwater, south of Rochester, authorities said. Crews continued to remove items into Friday.

He wasn’t played. I say that GG was an instigator and a willing participant. He met the guy, ES in Feb. They plotted and they executed their plot. GG flew to Hong Kong. They were all in on it. That was why they sort WashPost for maximum media coverage.
AHA!!
This woman is a Libertarian and emoprog of sorts…and she’s having questions — TODAY….
Here’s what she tweeted on Jun 7
and if you go down her TL, you will see that as recently as just 2 days, ago, she was still gung ho on the NSA-spy story…but now she’s beginning to have doubts.
Naomi, you’ve been PUNKED!!! We try to warn people like you – but you and your ilk arrogantly dismiss us as being silly “Obamabots.” Well, who’s the silly one now?!?!?
Sweet HF2, please ask her why the rush initially to judgement and the cagey slow walk to skepticism now.
Thanks Nena – your wish is my command!!
Thanks for the Tweet link, hopefruit.. but, Eee gods! Naomi Wolf.. “Brave whistle blower” “brave glenn greenwald”.. I was gettting gaggier by the second.
Sorry, I really don’t like Naomi Wolf and wouldn’t listen to her one way or the other.
She’s usually on some sort of ego-trip or another (e.g., The Beauty Myth). Don’t like women who whine, “don’t hate me because I’m beautiful,” just as I don’t like slender women who complain about being 5 pounds overweight. Please. They do it for the attention.

Congressional Democrats handed Republicans a stinging 22-0 shutout during the annual Congressional Baseball Game at the Washington Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. on June 13, 2013. The game marked the 52nd edition of the modern version of the game, amounting to major bragging rights in the halls of Congress.
