The Art of the Deal

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

The crowd and overflow crowd for the Bernie Sanders/AOC event tonight in Utah. Wow.

Words cannot explain the feeling of seeing so many motivated people in one place. So grateful to have been a part of it. Thank you to everyone who came and for all of the signatures! It's only together that we can change our community. #NationalDayOfProtest

Salt Lake City showed up

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Who did this?

Trump just force-fed the American economy a Ivermectin Bleach cocktail.

What is a Tariff

So good. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social

is that bad? Seems bad

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

But, her emails

Rebellions are built on hope.

Are there any Dems in Utah who can stand up for the good folks in Ogden ? Their town could soon face their own Great Recession

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

You win, Corks & Curds.

Colorado…

I walked by a Tesla today and this is what was written on the window

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Harriet Hageman got booed to oblivion last night in her own town hall for pumping up Doge so hard that even her loyal suckers woke up and smelled the bullshit—about five months too late!

Who is dumber? Her or the viewers? 🥴

Dropkick Murphys’ lead singer, Ken Casey: Dropkick Murphys has always been about standing with your friends, your family, and the things you believe in. Trump is the exact opposite of everything we sing about. He’s turned on America’s friends and allies—he’s a rat and a coward.

An observation unrelated to the theme of the quoted post: Will looks like the kind of hubristic slime that would try and con seniors into signing up for a reverse mortgage...

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" @dropkickmurphys.com nails it again!!

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

One of these things is not like the others

Really good, predictably infuriating rundown of what happened to Outside Magazine. It's a pretty familiar story of media biz/VC fuckery, told comprehensively and well, by the membership-funded site that is already taking Outside's place. escapecollective.com/theres-a-wil...

CARTOON OF THE DAY

This was needed!

An old Air Force friend of mine who now works for the government as a translator had to spend a week in the hospital after a stroke. He's a polyglot. His answer was epic. Shared with his permission but I redacted his name.

Antifasist rallies in Germany!👏🏻

I love my city.

What will these people do when Cheeto Jesus is gone?

About 50% of his rockets explode in mid air but sure, let Elon "fix aviation"

Says the guy who complains everytime he is not the "Time Person of the Year" 😂
