Happy birthday, Lorraine! I couldn't agree more. The Dems must keep hammering home the truth of what Trump and his sycophants have done and are doing. Stay relentlessly on the attack despite the exhausting volume of daily outrages.

Thank you dear Jolain! Agreed. Let's get loud!💪🏻💗

We need to start fighting for this country like we mean it. Like Andy Kim is doing. Like Mercado Media press was doing outside Delaney Hall. When two cops told the group, all tagged as PRESS, that they had to move back to a designated area, they all refused. It went back and forth for a few minutes but in the end they all stayed put. They made it clear that if police wanted to make it a story, they were all prepared to go live. We need this and more from all who care about what we truly stand for.

Amazing info, thank you SPW! It's so upsetting to even imagine the horrors going on in those centers and I'm grateful people are protesting it.

"Democrats need to stop worrying about which messaging strategy will work. The answer is clear. Stay on the attack and expose Republicans for the losers they are."

And, whoa, great Blue Moon photos, Lolo!

Happy birthday! Belated? Hope not but I think you advised that a birthday lasts a week, so…that cake looks delicious.

As for the Dem rebuttals, we’re getting better but the top leadership needs changing. Sadly, that includes Schumer, Jeffries and Gillibrand. Too addicted to the big bucks from donors and too used to limiting our responses to their surveys to 3 out of the galaxy of garbage positions the MAGAs send thru their fire hoses.

Thanks Carol! It was May 25th, which fell on Memorial Day, so I just kind of party a few days before and after and lay low on Memorial Day. We'll see what happens with our leadership. I feel like Schumer is a disappointment but has been making some big moves lately, especially on the "Anti-weaponization" fund. I'm not sure about the rest. Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting!🥰

Lorraine Evanoff: That James Talarico has to defend against bigoted smears, in a campaign that justifies verbal bludgeoning of AG Paxton‘s felonious record, is a sign of how topsy turvy are our times.

That Governors and Legislators are banned from inspecting ICE internment camps, while Senator Andy Kim faces Federal gas attack while he tries to protect his constituents against ICE shows brazenness on the part of the upside-down administration.

Happy Birthday!

Delicious looking cake, champagne and beach volleyball!

Your loved ones help you celebrate in happiness.

You look healthy, strong, and with peaceful mind! That is the way to go!

I am poolside with Floofles, guarding against suspicious looking moving vessels in the pool. Floofles maintained a sovereign calm throughout the invasion she probably deterred by her mere, noble presence.

Another day for feline adventure!
