Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Red-Breasted Merganser -drake Not a lifer, but I sure never got shots like this ❤️ Gateway National Park Sandy Hook, NJ 2-22-25 #Birds #BirdPhotography #Ducks #Merganser #Photography

Common Raven *Lifer* If there wasn’t a completely annoyed Crow in the same tree, I wouldn’t have been sure. This bird was huge. Sandy Hook, NJ 2-22-24 #Birds #BirdPhotography #Raven #Photography

unfortunately apt metaphor alert

The EU stepping in when the Russian compromised leader of the United States won't.

Up to 100 dead geese, swans, and ducks have now been recovered along the banks of the Shark River in Monmouth County – all from suspected bird flu. newjersey.news12.com/dozens-of-de...

Worst. Episode. EVER.

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Posting my embroidery so people can find me... 🐯 #embroidery #handembroidery

There are 72 Republican veterans currently serving in Congress. Maybe a couple of them could weigh in on this.

Lucky for him, he still has the treasury to rob.

Here’s another great example of constituents holding the RIGHT people accountable with the RIGHT questions. Watch Republican Rep. Kevin Hern of Oklahoma squirm as he tries to dodge answering but his constituents aren’t letting him off the hook that easily. Credit: newson6kotv TikTok #DemCast

Maddow: All of this absolutely historically unprecedented. No president has ever come out of the gate with numbers like this ever before. And it is across the board

“And another thing….”

Cooper's Hawk as per usual I drive all over north NJ to photograph birds and this one is in my yard posing when I get home Morris County, NJ 2-21-25 #Birds #Birding #BirdPhotography #Raptors

Love this so much

Heads up: Texas measles outbreak nears 100 cases, w/16 hospitalizations. Officials suspect it's spilled just across the border to New Mexico. Low vax rates+undetected infections mean it will grow.

Unfortunately I have to skip every country song now because I do not have time to look up where each artist stands on controversial subjects like if presidents should obey laws

Farage will say anything to get in power. While declaring Ukraines President “isn’t a dictator” in a vain attempt to draw in pro-Ukrainian votes, Farage is at the MAGA conference slagging off Britain and supporting Trump with a barrage of lies. This man is sleaze personified.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

That is a long wait

This 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Sirena reported that the facility is involved in developing SIM cards with Russian encryption, manufacturing radar processors for marine radar stations and creating a system which enables Russia's security forces to monitor mobile and internet users.

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

That is the thing, they want “others” to hurt. Why?

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

The ‘real’ reason they are gutting the IRS…👇 Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?!

MAGA LOGIC…

"Yes, the administration is violating my TRO against stopping existing grants and contracts, but I'm not holding anyone in contempt." -- Today's federal judge ruling. Because that's how authoritarianism works. www.documentcloud.org/.../25540455...

WTF

Facts....

BREAKING: Gov. Hochul will NOT remove Mayor Eric Adams. Add another name to the list of Gutless Cowards.

As McConnell signals the end of his long and consequential time in the Senate, check out the new biography, "The Price of Power" by Michael Tackett. Reading it now and it opens windows into one of Washington's most inscrutable figures. politics-prose.com/book/9781668... x.com/peterbakerny...
