Translation is an art. Translation is creation. Translators matter. Translators deserve to be celebrated.

Trump's widespread purge of inspectors general is a RARE example of an early second-term move that has drawn criticism from INSIDE the president's OWN party, creating a leverage point for Democrats. www.axios.com/2025/02/12/s...

Tulsi Gabbard has just been confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence. 😫

Reposting as Sagan is so prescient from 30 years ago.

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit

And then played golf.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The Justice Dept fired more than a dozen prosecutors who worked on the criminal cases against Donald Trump hours after the president directly ordered it from the Oval Office, according to two people familiar with the intervention. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

As I left the interlopers were ‘battleshipping’ down the river they have seemingly won and set off a pace to patrol the border. 😭

The worst part of staying in America isn’t just the collapse. It’s waking up one day realizing you could have left, and now it’s too late. Don't keep pushing your line in the sand further and further back as the authoritarian continues his takeover.

Swan news. On Saturday I could hear lots of flapping in the river & commotion from my next door neighbours. I ran out in my pyjamas. 🦢 territory battle. Interloper male nearly drowned and killed papa…

The American Airlines jet that collided with an Army helicopter and crashed into the Potomac River on Wednesday night was carrying a group of elite young figure skaters, their parents, and coaches. RIP to all the innocent souls lost in this horrible tragedy. www.yahoo.com/news/youth-f...

In Nazi Germany, everything Hitler did was legal. Opposing Hitler was illegal. In Russia, opposing Putin is illegal. In China, opposing Xi is illegal. In America, opposing Trump is illegal. I wish more Americans would understand what's happening right now.

I’m a former Blackhawk pilot and am currently in DC for events. I heard the UH-60 flyby while eating a late dinner at the Wharf. I watched the emergency reponse. It’s unspeakably tragic what happened in very complex airspace at night. I won’t offer my opinion until we know more. People died.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

Here's to the girls who stay smart. Aren't they a gas?

Everyone over on Instagram loved this so much I thought I’d share here. Winter apple tree and birds. Shropshire.

This is Fudge. She may not be the sharpest pup in the world, but more importantly, she is not a quitter. 13/10

Demented grandpa announced a new agency called the “External Revenue Service” to collect tariffs from foreign governments. FACT Foreign governments don’t pay tariffs, American companys that import pay the tariff & pass the cost to the consumer. Do Trump cult members not understand, or not care?

Are any senators gonna ask Kristi Noem about the dog today?

The saddest part is, everyone knows what we’re talking about.

Can someone explain to me how an adjudicated rapist and a 4-time convicted felon can even take the oath?

Wut?! www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Is President-elect Musk aware his Vice President, Donald Trump, is acting like a baby?

See below for my statement in response to Chairman Loudermilk's "Interim Report":

May your day be peaceful and full of beauty. Good morning Blue Sky

Day 36 off cable news.

Day 11 of #Shedvent: You wander down the Champs-Elysees, marvelling at the new-fallen snow and the white lights garlanding every tree. Music plays from a nearby cafe. Gracious arcades displaying wares of every possible kind line the street, and men and women in long coats walk along the promenade.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

My Ruby is 5 years old today. This was the day she came home and saved this little family of mine. She was a “rescue”, but the truth is that she rescued us. Happy birthday Ruby! ❤️

FUN FACT: Trump's nominee, Kash Patel, can't pass a background check from the very department he's supposed to lead.

🚨 Russia: Putin regime enforcers raided 3 largest Moscow nightclubs on Friday night — Simachev, Mutabor/ARMA and Mono. Many men taken to the military conscription offices. Women eventually released after their passports were photographed. Raids with police K9s lasted for hours.

Our dog's favorite holiday by far is Thanksgiving for the leftovers alone. L-R: Trixie, Mabel, Millie

In 55 days, this building will become the epicenter of corruption on our planet.
