From my memories, per Zuck, today’s the day my then 7 year old got his first Build A Bear. Reverently, cradling his doll (one of two), he said, “I love Build A Bear. It lets children travel through time, like to the 1870s when they worked in factories.” Let’s make sure this doesn’t happen now? 🫤

My city voted for the Democrat over Vance’s brother by 82.5%. Did this victory come from an abundance of democratic voters? The fact that every school levy on this same ballot failed says no, to me.

This is what integrity looks like

He thinks there’s a cargo ship full of VCR tapes steaming toward the Port of Blockbuster that he’s going to exact these tariffs upon, doesn’t he

Yes, this should be disqualifying.

Marco Rubio is like a month away from being New Tiffany Trump.

F that guy

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

You know.. I think the problem is that the 37% might buy the “fake polls” idea, but GOP congresspeople who need to get re-elected won’t.

Today: 1) Amazon might display original price, tariff to be paid and final price; 2) Bezos caves and Lutnick says “good news” Meaning 1) It’s good that consumers aren’t being informed how much Trump’s tariffs are costing them; 2) We’re all newly pissed at Bezos, so this issue will resurface

Consider what they want us to believe.

Free and fair elections are under attack. "Political appointees have also instructed career employees to dismiss all of their active cases without meeting with them and offering a rationale – a significant break with the department’s practices and norms." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I think people need to have more children. Here’s why I vote for the party that deports sick toddlers, gives everybody measles, cuts funding for children’s education and healthcare, and is investigating Miss Rachel.

voters just want to be taken seriously and treated like adults

I love the sit in 💙💙 @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov

You guys don't get it. America needs more babies. Also, we should deport babies.

Jeffries: "If you work hard and pay by the rules, you should be able to live a comfortable life ... instead of leaning into that vision of bringing the American dream to life, this Republican budget is actually doing the exact opposite."

So smart - I loved this. Please keep doing this - clear talk, showing you care, and showing that people can work together. We see the fights, we need to be reminded that some want to work together to get things done. Thank you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @coons.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov

If you kidnap and disappear a 4-year-old with stage 4 cancer, you should at a minimum spend the rest of your life behind bars. If you do it as part of an ethnic cleansing program, you should do your hard time at the Hague.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

This sums up the year, so far

Germany arrests 2 alleged Russian spies accused of scouting U.S. military facilities for sabotage - CBS News

NEW: Trump on Wednesday quietly pardoned Paul Walczak, a healthcare executive sentenced just 2 weeks ago for tax crimes. His mother & sister had played a role in an unrelated  scheme to publicize Ashley Biden’s stolen diary ahead of the 2020 election.

Patel works for a President that the Supreme Court decided it should grant immunity to, and who routinely doles out pardons for his political supporters. There is now a whole class of people in America who assume the law is irrelevant to them, and it does not include the judge who was arrested.

German newspaper is boasting it has accessed personal data and contact information online, even passwords, for some of America’s top security officials, including Pete Hegseth. Reporters from Der Spiegel used commercially available people-search engines, along with… www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...

After reading some of the replies to this post, I think it is maybe a good moment to inform people that all jail/prison phone calls are recorded as a matter of course. Most jurisdictions make professionals with applicable privileges—attorneys, doctors priests—jump through hoops not to be recorded.

Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francis’s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.

“He is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” Sen. Jon Ossoff

The cruelty and the stupidity is the point

They picked a saint… a jurist dedicated to defending the rights of the most vulnerable citizens. I’m sure they’ll make up a good story, though. Posting to memorialize her story pre-fabricated slurs.

This is absolutely brutal

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

Why isn’t this a major news story??

If you are a member of the DC Bar, please watch this video and VOTE for Diane Seltzer for DC Bar president. If you are not a member, please share with others who are.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.
