One of these images is not like the other one. @schumer.senate.gov needs to man up or step aside for someone who can lead.

I haven't heard real journalism like this in years.

Operation Just Because

I used to respect Congressman Crenshaw as someone who would go against his party when they broke the constitution. Now he has to try and defend a prima facie violation of the first amendment to stay in Trump's royal court.

Rep John Larson - Connecticut:

We need to save our health care. I voted NO on RFK Jr. I will vote NO on FDA Commissioner. I will vote NO on NIH Director. I will vote NO on all of Trump's nominees. And I will vote NO on a funding bill that is nothing more than a giveaway to Elon Musk and Republicans.

I want a good old fashioned filibuster of the CR bill. The Democrats should be reading the names of every federal worker fired by Musk, along with their department, role, and how long they had been working for (to show that probationary doesn't mean they are new). Give me Bernie in a diaper!

What House Republicans are calling a "clean CR" is nothing more than a blatant attempt to codify Donald Trump and Elon Musk's illegal cuts that are already devastating Massachusetts and the nation. It increases defense spending while cutting essential programs. Absurd.

My prediction for the eventual split up of the US: Blue: "The Union" 22% of GDP Green: "The Great Lakes Confederation" 15% of GDP Orange: "The Pacific Alliance" 20% of GDP Balance: "Greater America" 57% of GDP

Watching Ralph Fiennes recite Eliot’s Four Quartets from memory to escape from the present for a time.

The #tradewar is on. Real-time electricity prices doubled few minutes after midnight EST in New England. 🔌💡

It’s Ramadan, the Great Lent started today, and regular Lent starts Wednesday. Either all of this fasting at once will fix something or shit is going down(more than it already has).

I nudge @kdnewman.bsky.social in the ribs at Mass Me: “do I have to confess that I’m jealous of the deacon’s beard?” Her: “I think ‘coveting the deacon’s beard’ is probably the most Eastern Orthodox sin you could ever confess to a Roman priest.”

As a hopeful universalist, I pray that #JimmyCarter is invited into heaven by St. Óscar Romeo. But it’s one of those situations that really tries my universalism.
