NYC friends: this poor dog was almost on his freedom ride out of the pound when his foster didn't show up on him. He's now in danger of being put down. Do you have space in your home and heart to adopt him? ❤️ Also, lots of animals at this NYC shelter who need a home. nycacc.app#/browse/225834

Easily the hardest rescue I’ve ever done. 3 years in the making. Britney Spears just arrived in Scotland. Look how happy she looks ❤️

Don’t forget the small towns too! Boulder Creek, CA showing up for #NoKings today. These mountain folk don’t want any dictators or kings!

The greatest con Trump ever pulled was convincing millions of rubes that he cares about them.

ICYMI: National Guard troops were sent to LA with no federal funding for food, water, fuel, equipment, or a place to stay. “Wildly unprepared” is the phrase being used. All courtesy of Trump and Hegseth.

I got no popcorn left at this point.

Sharing a link to Twitter because this video is important! 1. These fucking tires on the bombers are ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣 I knew Russia was doing it, but I’ve never seen it in close up video. 2. The drone landing on the A-50? *chef’s kiss* 3. This is the money shot. x.com/defenceu/sta...

This is Luna. She didn't realize you were planning on wearing that outside of the house. 13/10

There is no way Ukraine could trust the current US government with info that they had operatives behind enemy lines in Russia to execute this operation. Telling that to the Trump admin would put their lives in even greater danger than they already were.

Early rumors are that up to 40 Russian strategic bombers were destroyed in one of the most audacious operations I’ve ever seen. Get fucked, Vlad.

I'd been feeding Rolo for 2 years before her got smashed in a hit and run. Today he heads off to his forever home in the Czech Republic. A very very good boy

This is Vino. Yes, he farts every morning before breakfast. Yes, they still sometimes surprise him. 13/10

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

NEW: SCOTUS heard oral argument in the birthright citizenship case that could greatly limit federal judges' ability to block Trump from expanding presidential powers. Justice Jackson described the government's stance as a "catch-me-if-you-can" regime. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is Billie. She didn't understand why her human had a special set of keys to bring on car rides and she didn't. Finally got her very own set, and now she brings them along for every ride. 13/10 (u/Aeaex)

Reporter: How did you decide to reopen Alcatraz? Trump: I was supposed to be a movie maker… Nobody ever escaped. One person almost got there but they found his clothing rather badly ripped up, a lot of shark bites…

This is Reggie and Pearl. Reggie holds the @guinnessworldrecords.com title for tallest dog living at 3 feet 3 inches. Pearl holds the title for shortest dog living at 3.59 inches. They just met for the first time for a playdate. 14/10 for both

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Her name is Chance. She needed a miracle to survive because she never knew human touch. We'll help you Chance don't worry

This mother is barely a year old herself. She has played a blinder keeping her babies alive. We brought them in today. They'll never go back on the streets. 4 little lives saved forever ❤️

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

This is Tuna. You have once again taken him to the vet instead of the park. Fool him once, shame on you. Fool him twice, even more shame on you. 13/10 (IG: tunathekahuna)

This is Alan. He just tried his first strawberry. Loved it so much he couldn't imagine wasting a single bite. 12/10

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Arizona dog found a missing 2-year-old on his nightly patrol that a local rescue team spent 16 hours searching for. 15/10

*picks up dirt and breathes in* “There was a battle here.”

Trump has been president for 74 days

One of our hardest rescues in terms of seeing her suffering at only 1 year old. This is Emma Stone. She is safe now 🥰🙏

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.

Booker's team just told MSNBC they’ve gotten 14,000 voicemails from people supporting Cory’s filibuster and sharing their stories—and another 280 million people have liked his speech on TikTok alone. A masterclass in capturing attention. Well done.

Phil Heckles has been drawing other people's pets since 2020, when he drew his own dog and posted it, jokingly offering paid-for commissions. Genuine requests flooded in. He used the traction to raise money for his local homeless charity. 5 years and over £400,000 later, he's still going. 14/10 ❤️

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?

ABC News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CBS News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." MSNBC: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CNN: "An unthinkable breach of national security." Fox News: "We've all texted the wrong person before."
