Trump take egg.

Meanwhile, in #California:

Lots of thoughtful social media criticism of our question for Sunday's Checkup and we listened. The new question: what do you think of Trump's comments about Canada becoming the 51st state? The show's being simulcast on more than 100 NPR stations. It's a chance to make your voice heard.

There have been a few times when Checkup has been hammered on social media for a program we haven't done yet. I'm in a show meeting right now. The gap between what's being posted and what we're actually planning is enormous. Our regular listeners should expect the same care we use for every show.

CBC trying to explain how a "conversation" about whether Canada has a right to exist as a nation will be good because they have asked an American DJ to co-host. Like asking Ukraine to join a "conversation" with Russia about their borders. But don't worry it will be done with "care."

41' Bernardeschi has been a menace on the DC defensive left. Toronto Football Club has also prioritized their right wing. That means a lot of opportunity for both teams to quickly counter up the opposite flanks.

I miss the big chaotic NYE stuff at Nathan Phillips Square. Local bands, from the big to the who? Hangers-on making it back/onstage (including myself, once). Gord Martineau hosting. Then you'd watch Blade Runner, announced by the incomparable Mark Dailey. We didn't know how good we had it, eh?

This is for @gtconway.bsky.social Five things I did last week. 1. Took too much ketamine 2. Danced onstage with a chainsaw 3. Ignored my new baby momma 4. Laughed at my own jokes. 5. Neglected all of my children except for the one I use as a human shield.

NEW: Abortion providers brace for violence after Trump limits clinic protections. "It’s signaling to people who oppose abortion that they can take the law into their own hands and there won’t be consequences for that.”

“One constituent asked about the impact of mass layoffs of government workers within Lee’s district … ‘A lot of people, just across the country, feel like so much of the federal work happens only in D.C., and we know that that’s just not true,’ Lee says.”

I don’t judge Mitch McConnell for his choice of political party. I judge him for his greed, racism, and hunger for power. I judge him for causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump. So will others. So will history.

If I were an evil prick I would let everyone know that elon's reply email for federal workers to list what they did for the last week is [email protected]. Good thing I'm not, people could REALLY just overwhelm his bullshit with so much more bullshit...

Gen-X knows 🤣

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

There is a house in there somewhere. #snow #winter #mammoth #streetphotography #photography #travel #landscape #california

One day we will wake up to his obituary.

oh nothing just remembering somebody pointing out that in IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE the fascist despot is shoved out of the way by a back stabbing lackey and then that despot is taken out by a military coup. Can't imagine why that comes to mind today.

necessary to keep several things in mind: ~the courts are the best method we currently have for slowing & ameliorating Trump’s agenda ~we need a popular revival of civic virtue, responsibility, & constitutionalism ~the minority party’s message has to appeal to a broad range of people where they are

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?

due respect but absolutely not.

Secret Service Thinks One of Trump’s Aides Might Be a Little Too Obsessed With Him, ‘Danger to Herself and the President’: It’s not quite the “Leave Britney Alone!” girl, but it’s close. A new report from Vanity Fair based on an excerpt from an upcoming book says that the Secret Service at one…

Liberals & left-liberals need to learn a lesson that I & a few others have been yelling at the left since 2016: Do. Not. Run. Media. Figures.

I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.
