From couch-fucker to Pope-killer. J.D. Vance leads a sad, pathetic life.

🚨

Van Hollen: "I'm very glad that the killed of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That is how we hold guilty people accountable ... I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with."

Fantastic protest sign in Hartford. Let’s go, Connecticut!!!!

“Department of Government Efficiency.”

Van Hollen asked VP Ulloa why Abrego García was sent to CECOT, if he had violated any laws in El Salvador and whether there’s proof he had committed a crime. Ulloa responded, “No … he’s here because the Trump administration is paying us to keep him here.” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Some cuteness for you today. I saw a bunny yesterday on my neighborhood walk. Not as cute as this one, but still.

This neighbor always does the nice flowers.

Take a deep breath and look at these otters relaxing. You probably need it.

Yes. Any kind of lilies.

China's ACTUAL tariff rate on was only 7.5% Trump's minions bungled it, used AI to claim it was 67%, and thus slapped a 34% tariff on them China has now increased its tariff from 7.5% to 34% Trump instantly made China's tariff 4.5x WORSE He is an IDIOT - costing us TRILLIONS

It turns out the horrible pain in the tooth with my new crown was the poor thing dying. Today I got a root canal. My $4000 tooth! No dental insurance.

One of the cutest beings on this planet, an opossum, also one of the most misunderstood. They are marsupials, they do not transmit rabies, and are indispensable for pest control, they are naturally docile and gentle..

When secret police agencies in other countries do what ICE is doing (abducting people off the street while wearing masks, throwing them into vehicles, transporting them to undisclosed locations, and not filing any criminal charges) we call it "disappearing" people. That's what's happening here now.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

He’s my Senator and I will fight like hell to support his run against MTG. #DemVoice1

It’s crunch time, folks, and the last thing Wisconsin - or the rest of the U.S. - needs is another orange ass kissing sycophant in a position of power. Support @crawfordforwi.bsky.social in any way you can!

For us cat lovers and gardeners, Happy Saint Gertrude Day

No one ever said they were creative.

This affidavit, filed by a former Social Security employee in one of the DOGE cases, reveals a shocking exposure of personal info to DOGE operatives & possible compromise of parts of the system. Everyone should read this. Start at para 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Look who showed up in the yard this morning. Jelly 🙀was impressed.

This man is the real deal. We must keep him safe.

I apologize if this is triggering for anyone, but the United States has what amounts to an abusive spouse for a President. I spent most of my prosecutorial career prosecuting domestic violence cases, and I know so many have lived it (or are still living it). I’ve seen the type, and he’s it.

Spring is coming in spite of all the human horribleness.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

"This is NOT normal." #SOTU Thank you for speaking truth to power.

Just watched Oscar nominated documentary Sugercane which tells of abuse of indigenous children by Catholic Church in Canada. Kids were raped by priests and babies were thrown in incinerator. This was and is the church. Many people seem ok with this.

Trying to get a replacement library card to download books rather than buying from Amazon. Well, that is not an easy task. We'll see if it works.

ICYMI: Always grateful to @mcfaulmike.bsky.social for his incredible insight and analysis, especially on Trump’s open support of Putin: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtNL...
