Trump is going to “instinctively” select certain US companies and exempt them from tariffs. Don’t overthink it. He’s asking for bribes.

I grew up with labradors and beagles who loved to try to escape and run for the hills, forcing us to chase them. This evening I distractedly tried to walk Sophie into the yard without putting her leash on and she refused to step outside, like “excuse me, while I’d love to go out with you, I cannot”

A little throwback to when last year’s rhino calf, Rocket, was a few weeks old! He had a lot of energy and curiosity from the start, which you can see his mom Ursula wasn’t so sure about 🦏😮‍💨

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

@aoc.bsky.social I know you probably won't see this, but we are all terrified and your colleagues are not doing anything to stop it. They are too busy putting out flaccid pleasantries and feckless social media posts instead of doing their jobs in the middle of an active digital coup. (1/2)

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

You've all heard me go on about Friday Afternoon Tea before. You know how much I love them and their blends, and I know I have to have some tea nerds following me that might also want some delicious and nerdy tea. Trust me. They're worth checking out. Plus, you'd be supporting a small business!

He's the world's furriest and smelliest @seattlekraken.com fan! (except maybe @buoy.seattlekraken.com -- who has always smelled good, only competing on fur)

He's no Toggle (my elder gentleman of a dog), but he made a good arm rest today. Usually he tries to lick my fingers for daring to type.

My eleven-year-old was shocked and my wife scandalized that I loudly responded to the Paw Patrol commercial as Copaganda and a violation of Child-labor laws. Neither could contradict me, but apparently my kid had missed the memo.

There's a taco stand that sets up near our place every other night. They don't setup until at least eight. Their prices are great, but they're outside -- and I've seen sixty person lines on rainy nights before. I'm not remotely hungry, but I've counted days and am still tempted.

We have just heard that raccoons in Toronto have figured out Door Dash. They’re stealing food off porches if it’s left there by the drivers. Door Dash does not provide racoon refunds. We just thought you might find this amusing
