@meidastouch.com: "Schumer was asked about how Dems were going to respond to Trump's attempt to extort Harvard: "We sent him a very strong letter just the other day asking eight very strong questions."" Bravo @schumer.senate.gov - THIS is the sternly worded letter that'll stop Trump's fascism!

Everyone around him is incompetent and obviously scared to give him any news that is bad.

A fine spring night in #Vermont

There was a restaurant in the Palais Royale. It was Cocteau-themed because the woman who owned it apparently was his lover. We had a fantastic meal, ending with the most delicious dessert I've ever had: coupe damnation - a delectable, decadent confection of chestnut cream and chocolate. Sigh.

"We reached out to leading Roman style critic, Tullius Germanicus, to analyze the varnish used for Nero's violin and what it says about his leadership." www.npr.org/2025/04/18/n...

I wonder where Jill Stein is in all this, and why she isn't breaking her only-come-out-every-four-years-and-fuck-things-up rule. No, I don't. Not really.

Equating autism with severe mental disability is evil. Next thing you know, he'll be setting up special "hospitals" in El Salvador.

"President Trump thanked the North Korean People's Doctor for his continued affirmation of the immortality granted our Dear Leader and the glowing beneficence he bestows upon all who behold him."

Isn’t it weird how quiet all those “weaponization of government” yahoos get when Donald Trump personally orders his DOJ to go after people who criticized him?

Bennington, #Vermont. 500-600 people in a town of 15k braved the cold rain! #HandsOff @indivisible.org

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

It is a foggy day up on the mountain. This old birch stands tall on the edge of the forest, the deep dark behind him. #Vermont

"In Greenland what we saw was American imperialism with no clothes. Naked and vain." snyder.substack.com/p/vance-in-g...

They wanted to get rid of 'woke'. Boy, did they ever wake people up.

It's a bit silly, but I have a secret stash of interesting (to me, at least) rocks near where I take a walk in the woods most days. It serves no purpose but to make me smile when I pass by, or add a new treasure to it.

Seeing as it’s the Ides of March, here’s our very fun guide to how Julius Caesar rose to power and then destroyed the stability of the state, ignored the law, undermined political institutions, and leveraged the wealth of the richest man in the nation… ahem… www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

"I will never divert this plane on fire to the nearest airport because doing so would mean that some of the passengers might miss their connecting flights." @fetterman.senate.gov probably

"Well, we were served the shit sandwich and instead of sending it back, we ate it because we can sue the restaurant later after we all get dysentery." @schumer.senate.gov probably

Curious that all the places Trump wants to annex would be geographically convenient for a Russian partner in annexation.

Globalist=Jew Trump is antisemitic.

This is your government on AI. Any questions?

I often think of how this idiot wore his cosplay cowboy hat backwards. #ElonMusk

Excellent town hall meeting today with @balint.house.gov. It's bad in DC but with folks like her working on our behalf, there is hope!

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. Slowly going mad while 2/3 of your children fight over your kingdom, howling into a hurricane with your fool by your side on a blasted heath, and your enemies gouge out your trusted advisor's eyes does.

Welp, there go my retirement savings!

It's going to be a long four years, especially if we make ourselves insane misreading budget documents. This is a story where multiple things are true at the same time and it's a warning about how we consume information going forward gizmodo.com/the-400-mill...

Mark my words: seatbelt laws are on the radar. The USDOT under Duffy will condition federal funds on states repealing primary, and possibly secondary, safety laws.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is the wrong person for the job of Minority Leader. THERE IS NO "bipartisan common ground" to be had with people who are either passively or actively destroying the federal government.

There's a blizzard going on outside, but inside it's just quiet cuddling.
