The world needs to hear your story. That’s the message I had for the students at the Gila River Indian Community in Arizona—one of the brightest, most resilient, most inspiring groups I’ve met. I have a feeling we’ll hear more from them in the years ahead. #MondayMotivationpic.twitter.com/ogMkV6UytG
Nerdy, as always, thanks for keeping out “safe harbor” open. In the midst of “life 101,” I’m thankful to always find the place open and welcoming. Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!
I’ll believe this when I see it, but hope it happens:
Don't really have anything in common with these Senators, but if they block this, I'm for giving them the lead car in the Fourth of July ego parade "for" trump. Tell Rand to bring his neighbor, bygones be bygones.
^5, Ms G-grand-G!
I notice from your comment above that I don’t need to share any of *my* snow with you … a pity as this is one thing I don’t mind sharing. 😉
Yes sir, life’s good. 🙂 🙂 In truth the snow doesn’t bother me since I don’t usually go out in it unless I have a real good reason, AND Offspring is home so *I* don’t shovel anymore. 😉
Hi CD, so happy to see you have weathered the storms in your area!
Offspring is well, working part-time at a private academy near home, and tutoring two students privately an hour each week. He apparently likes tutoring. He’s also decided to try to get his driver’s license this spring so is finally preparing to take lessons (not from me, of course). 😀 Oh, he’s also planning to get married this summer.
Yeah, made it thru the local flooding unscathed. Hopefully offspring will make it thru getting his driver’s license unscathed as well. 🙂 Wow, that’s a big deal for him. So is getting married. Congratulations to him, and to you. 🙂
{{JO’B}} Ours is still on the ground but I truthfully don’t pay too much attention to it unless I *have to* go on the road. In fact, half the time I forget to check the weather and am taken by surprise when I happen to look outside and it’s snowing, or when I go on line and notice that school buses have been cancelled for the day. That’s happened several times already this winter.
The boy will pay and so will every criminal associated with him ….
Dear @realDonaldTrump: Dems were not in control last term & @GOP stopped us from investigating. This #SundayMorning, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler announced a massive investigation into you, your family & your associates.
Continuing to have @chucktodd anywhere near a camera & mic, let alone host of @MeetThePress, makes you complicit in the efforts of @GOP & others to continue supporting the vast criminal regime of which @realdonaldtrump & his family have participated for decades. pic.twitter.com/qQjXHVARct
Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) tells CNN's Jake Tapper why he opposes President Donald Trump's declaration of a national emergency at the southern border.https://t.co/KsQ3TG7uzc
Grant criminal #Trump 'extra-constitutional power' & you'll be crushed in 2020 as every Dem Pres candidate commits that their 1st Exec act will be to declare guns, climate & US poverty as #NationalEmergencies.
Be prepared. He’s unhinged, and he’ll set the country on fire to save himself. We are heading towards a terrible time and all the Republican leaders who continue to enable and protect him must be held accountable when/if we come through to the other side. https://t.co/SJgwOAXxli

My latest for CNN: Zarif was strengthened by the rejection of his resignation. This was not the first time a leading Iranian figure had used a public resignation to strengthen his position.

If @RepAdamSchiff says there is direct evidence of Trump/Russia collusion, you can take that to the bank. Rep. Schiff NEVER overstates. He is the epitome of caution and precision. This is big. https://t.co/0KPgOAHCqa
The FSB is teaching information warfare classes at a Russian university. Gerasimov is laying out Russia's information warfare tactics publicly and not even for the first time.

Wow, a lot happened since #Euromaidan, we don't blame you if you're confused. Here's a short guide to Ukraine's unexpectedly successful revolution, and the following Russian retaliation – occupation, and war. https://t.co/0TzNp1ozmepic.twitter.com/n6t7Nb9bmz
New from me: Fox News HAD the story of Trump's hush money payoffs to Stormy Daniels BEFORE the election but killed it because the reporter said she was told, "Good reporting Kiddo, but Rupert Murdoch wants Donald Trump to win. So set it aside." Reporter sued, is bound by an NDA. https://t.co/md9B4fLm1i
Trump promised publicly he wouldn't interfere in DOJ's handling of the TimeWarner AT&T deal – but in Oval Office he ordered Nat.'l Economic Council head Gary Cohn to get DOJ to block it, which would hurt CNN & help Fox. Soon after, DOJ filed suit to block it, and lost in court.
Trump is so staggeringly ignorant, so glaringly incurious, so incalculably lazy and so horrifyingly needy and desperate for attention that he looks for love from Fox TV every single morning and lets them run our nation.
Trump and his cabinet: hard to imagine a more explicit and wide-ranging brazen criminality in many realms on all levels. Impossible to believe these aren't precisely the kinds of actions that impeachment was intended to confront for the sake of preserving our democracy.
I was so honored to be invited to participate in the #SelmaJubilee this weekend.
We're living through a full-fledged crisis in our democracy. But history teaches us that when the struggle feels the hardest is when marching forward is most important. https://t.co/BDDJmkvk7A
Totally agree. They’ve only been in control of the House for a couple months, and some are saying “What’s taking them so long?” WE waited two years for this, since the RWNJs did nothing. So, yeah, Bravo, Dems!

In Idaho you can be married to an old fogie at 13 years. And she can be shipped in from outside the United States for that purpose.
Some girls don’t get their periods until 16 years.
– Kavanaugh is not on the SC for nothing.
– Will this be the trump defense when the dirt about his underage sexual activity is exposed?
– As well as his part in the mob trafficking of “models” and other uses for girls.
i would suggest that we all take a look at this child marriage thing…here in PA a child of the age of 14 can be married under certain circumstances…it is quite prevalent in the states….
Mitch McConnell acknowledged today that the Senate will pass a resolution blocking Donald Trump's emergency declaration on the southern border https://t.co/L0lHzP2eI8
Oh, boy! Brace yourselves good people of TODVille.
Between Fox News, Orange Man, and that, I may apply to another planet for political refuge. If he is the nominee, I’ll vote for the Senior Senator from Vermont without the rage from his loyal supporter, Nina Turner. In fact, I don’t need any help to vote for anyone but Trump!
For those that like that sort of news, that sort of news they like…
I’ve wanted to share this news for many months & now finally my doctor says I'm in a safe place at 32 weeks to share my joy with y'all. So, it’s clear a daytime talk show isn’t the only thing I’ve been trying to produce! More about my journey: https://t.co/AixgEvCoKwpic.twitter.com/4r6yPv4Txr

“Global Climate Change Denial is Costing Coastal Cities Quadrillions in Shorefront Property Values.” (rktect, Daily Kos)
“It’s ironic that shorefront property to include, golf courses, airports, railheads and subways, seaports, military bases, government buildings, homes, hotels, and most urban infrastructure once considered the very epitome of a status symbol is rapidly becoming worthless because FEMA flood maps are no longer insurable, mortgagable or salable. Despite this, some major financial groups mislead as to the time frame for the flooding continue to build infrastructure in coastal cities. We don’t have a hundred years, or fifty or even a decade left before that proves to have been overly optimistic. Most people can observe the flooding is increasing at an increasing rate. Images of people in Miami, Bangladesh, Amsterdam, Venice, and Oceania, are being supplemented with images from Maine to the BOS-WASH corridor, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia. Relocating our cities provides a better chance for saving them than trying to build higher seawalls and levees, flood gates and drainage into the suburbs. To relocate our cities we might begin putting our new infrastructure on ring roads located more than sixty meters above existing sea levels. People whose property is less than sixty meters above the FEMA flood maps flood zones may need to get creative to write off their bad investments and put them on taxpayers. We should resist that displacement of responsibility.”

Thank you, NerdyW.
Greetings, everyone!
GA, TOD.
VC, Congrats on opening the door for us.
Nerdy, as always, thanks for keeping out “safe harbor” open. In the midst of “life 101,” I’m thankful to always find the place open and welcoming. Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!
Well, hello there, J! So good to see you still enjoying Life 101 with all its ins and out. 🙂
THIS!! Thank you, Nerdy!
And happy sunny snowy Sunday from the Midwest.
I’ll believe this when I see it, but hope it happens:
Congrats on 1st, VC!
^5, Ms G-grand-G!
I notice from your comment above that I don’t need to share any of *my* snow with you … a pity as this is one thing I don’t mind sharing. 😉
😀 😀 😀
How are you, and would you like me to send *you* some, Bfr? 🙂 🙂
Doing well, VC. Thank you for asking! However, I’ll have to refuse your generous offer of some snow 🙂
Hope all is good for you despite all the snow!
Yes sir, life’s good. 🙂 🙂 In truth the snow doesn’t bother me since I don’t usually go out in it unless I have a real good reason, AND Offspring is home so *I* don’t shovel anymore. 😉
Having ‘off spring at home’ is certainly an advantage when it comes to shoveling snow!!! 😀
Cheers!!
Hi VC,
Glad you are doing well. How is offspring doing and what is he up to these days?
Hi CD, so happy to see you have weathered the storms in your area!

Our snow melted by mid-afternoon – OMG – so happy about that. And good luck to you, getting the same results! ❤

I try that same “see no evil, hear no evil, etc.” snow game and sometimes it works like a charm!
😀 😀
Hiya Darling!
🙂 Greetings, Southern Sugah! Nice to see you (and your spaceships/space pics).
Always lovely to see you, My Dear!
The boy will pay and so will every criminal associated with him ….
Also, Todd needs to be flushed, once and for all ….
Urge all of you to listen this GOP Congressman. He’s being an actual Representative of the Constitution and the people.
Also, in the category of be very careful what you even think you want ….
Stacey Abrams speaking Truth to Power….I am so glad that we know of her
In addition to having the right message, in my POV, she’s one of the best narrators for her message. I could listen to her all day.
Same girl, sssssame.
Amen. She is so impressive! We need her.
Yes, we do!
Loooooove her!
Wow – thank goodness for small favors!
I use the word “awesome” way too much.
THIS is what is was meant for.
🤓
OMG, Dudette. What an amazing young woman. I loved her interview!
And thanks for all the SpaceX tweets, etc. I loved geeking out on them. 🤓
Agreed Cd4b, she’s amazing!
Always happy to share! 😄
Wow. How’d ya like to have a job with “Planetary Protection Engineer” as its title?
Pretty intense title, but this young lady is certainly up to it.
Love the message – and this portrait!
She’s so beautiful. My First Lady!
Yes, she is!
Whoa!
WOW 😮. Love it!
Thank you {{{{{{{Dudette}}}}}}} for all your informative and inspiring and entertaining posts!!! Such a delight!!!
YUP ….
These are related ….
Goodnight TOD …
Beautiful!
Goodnight TODville!
GM TOD….
A lesson to remember…
AG Eric Holder is OUT.
i;m sorry abut this…
I’m sorry, too, but I’m hoping since it may have been on his mind once, he may still run in the future.
I love this man. He can be a great voice for our candidates. To me having a large number of candidates is good…but it is becoming too large! Will see.
Another doozy from the New Yorker today.
More from Sec Clinton..
Bravi to our Dems in Congress! So proud of you. A trillion, zillion thanks.

Im Not voting for Bernie…
I’ll stay home.
For those that like that sort of news, that sort of news they like…
News to be aware of…
Yeap!
That man is simply seeking the highest office and has no regards for the Democratic Party, the party he hopes will put him there!!!
Just the facts:
Is he Independent or Democrat?
AOC: Which is it?
Hint…he is Not a democrat.
But he will happily divide the democratic field…
