Today has just been one of those days. If your day has been like mine, here is a Dandy sleeping pic to hopefully help that.

Food is expensive right now. These expert hacks can help you lower your grocery bill. nyti.ms/3YKjPzw

ROMEO stands for "retired older men eating out," and it's helping guys in one Maine town get out of the house and into more friendships.

Chuck Schumer needs to move his ass on down the road. Enough of people wanting to stick around because of their ego (and that's precisely what it is). They are NOT thinking of us...when they decide to stay forever. It's one of the most selfish...and dangerous things any politician ever does.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

"After the last soldier was found, the Lithuanian government planned a procession for the soldiers’ departure on Thursday, with schools closing early and thousands lining the streets of Vilnius." That's behaving like an ally.

In other economic news: The five U.S. airports with the most international traffic have seen an obvious slide in international passengers, maybe because people are being snatched and sent to gulags. s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?tra...

BREAKING: Trump said the EU must buy $350 billion worth of US energy to get tariff relief, according to Politico report.

Aren't you tired of being sick and tired? COVID-19 isn't just another cold. It can cause lasting harm even without symptoms. We have the power to break this cycle. Wearing a high-quality mask in public drastically reduces infections, protecting you and your community.

She got the memo:

Russia just bombed a playground MURDERING nine Ukrainian children. Trump doesn't care and still favors Putin.

All I keep thinking about is that if/when Dems regain power, every action to restore normality or basic functioning of governmental institutions will be covered by the national press like it’s a controversial, partisan power play on par with a coup.

Any U.S. outreach to Russia is read by the Kremlin as a weakness to be exploited, not a gesture of goodwill to reciprocate. As former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson put it, “Putin isn’t negotiating. He’s laughing at us.” Read more: thehill.com/opinion/inte...

⚡️ 'We will not look away' — Belgian PM visits Bucha. The Kremlin has long-used Bucha in state propaganda, denying the extensively documented crimes committed by Russian forces.

We elected a man everyone who matters in this country knew was an idiot. The bulk of them refused to say so openly and directly — either because they thought he could do something for them or because there are political and journalistic norms against speaking that way.

Just got a note from one of my (many) Alma Maters ASU - they are doubling down on inclusivity in order to tackle the urgent global problems we're facing - climate, social justice, health outcomes - to be of greater service and of greater value to democracy. Nice to hear it.

Hard not to be a "PANICAN" when led by someone suffering from severe mental illness

No one is better at clowning Meghan McCain than Meghan McCain

We are living through the consequences of having an uninformed and ill-informed citizenry. Our founding fathers warned us about this danger.

“This is not what we voted for.” Yes, yes, it is. You just didn’t think it could destroy you, too.

NEW: @elfaroenglish.bsky.social identified a SECOND man sent to El Salvador and imprisoned who is married to a US citizen. Jesús Ríos entered the US at a port of entry in 2023 seeking asylum. His wife started the green card process in January. Like most sent to CECOT, he has no criminal record.

🤣😂😅

Ukrainian warriors have eliminated a Pskov paratrooper who took part in war crimes in Bucha in March 2022. We are talking about a 24-year-old Russian terrorist Ruslan Omaralinov, who served in the 234th Pskov Air Assault Regiment. He was reportedly neutralized somewhere in the Kursk region.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

China continues trolling the US with new videos. Here’s one - “US sweatshop factory”

A game show host who imposed tariffs on penguins is crashing the world’s economy. This isn’t 3-D chess, it’s complete insanity.

The formation of the massive Morton, Texas wedge tornado on 05-23-2022. In this brief timelapse, it grows to nearly a mile wide before it becomes enshrouded in dust. Video is contrast-enhanced due to the dust, which I ate so much of this day lol.

ICYMI: The polar vortex likely ended early this year, the second-earliest seasonal breakdown since 1958. Its disruption may raise the odds of colder-than-usual weather in early April across parts of the eastern U.S., northern Europe, and Asia. Learn more: www.climate.gov/news-feature...

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.
 Not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared. 
Life on this pale blue dot will be resilient - whether we’re part of it or not. #science #history

I want to point this out because it's easy to miss this detail: SCOTUS's ruling on the Alien Enemies Act is so horrifically bad that 𝗔𝗺𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁.

We fight to give hope — a reminder that there are still those within the government standing up for what’s right. Since Saturday, we’ve faced relentless attacks. We know there will be consequences for our actions, but we will not back down.

Ukraine triples its weapons production in a year – The Economist Ultimately, regardless of the ceasefire, Ukraine must eventually turn into a "steel porcupine" equipped with everything she needs to repel any Russian attack.

On point. A very important fact to remember. Thank you, @rmayemsinger.bsky.social

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.

Donald and his supporters have destroyed the nation. 👇https://www.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-us-admiral-nato-fired-172024376.html
