I heart Tina Smith.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Congress has the power to make DOGE funding contingent on weekly, under oath, hearings with the DOGE administrator and the DOJ attorney assigned to cases against DOGE. This bill can be written and introduced in the House this week. And should be. Paging @aoc.bsky.social and @raskin.house.gov.

Trump has announced via social media post that he is ousting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General CQ Brown and will be replacing him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan 'Razin' Caine.

Amazon and UPS have to be the most ridiculous pair of fuck ups I have ever seen. It's funny how @amazon can take $300 of my money, but not do shit to make sure I actually receive my item that I bought on the 8th of February.

The only known photo of Star Wars creator George Lucas meeting Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry.

It would be far less time-consuming to just document when he tells the truth. shorturl.at/tohgb

As to be expected of MAGA snowflakes.

These people are menaces.

Ollie & his football. Because sometimes we just need to see a pup with his favorite toy. 🏈

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Trump supporters actually believe that Donald Trump arbitrarily renaming the Gulf of Mexico somehow gives the US more drilling rights in the region 🤨🤨

The community note 🤌😘

Today, we honor the 216th birthday of Abraham Lincoln by carrying out his legacy in the continued fight for democracy & truth. The party he built has been bastardized - he wouldn't recognize it today. With our institutions & freedoms in danger, Lincoln's memory is more important now than ever.

After results. It's supposed to bring the pigmentation to the top of the skin then flake off over a few weeks period. Guess we will see.

As I creep closer to old white lady-ness, I am taking the next step. Cosmetic surgery. Having this removed today. Wish me luck. This will be the before photo.

JUST IN: Judge Amy Berman Jackson becomes the 5th judge *today* to block an aspect of Trump's early-term orders, this time the firing of ethics watchdog Hampton Dellinger. And night isn't over. yet ...

When Stanford IT staff and a pro-diversity group shared a list of words they encouraged others not to use, it was national news, despite the fact it never represented campus policy. When the government erases any mention, data or research related to words, will it be treated as a free speech issue?

The saga of SCOTUSblog founder Tom Goldstein keeps getting uglier. Earlier today, the DOJ re-arrested Mr. Goldstein, contending that he had conducted millions of dollars in crypto transactions over the past week, hiding the assets from the Court and Pre-Trial Services.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...
