Yup. Been there done that. And snowboarded down from the top, er mouth of the crater. It was spectacular, and not very difficult for someone in decent physical shape to do.

As the proud owner of many-a-chicken, this is extremely accurate: Comic credit: @theoatmeal.bsky.social

Pete Hegseth in 2016: "How damaging is it to your ability to recruit or build allies with others when they are worried that our leaders may be exposing them because of their gross negligence or their recklessness in handling information?"

Peanut says "Happy Easter!" Remember Spring brings growth, new life and change. Oh, and maybe some chocolate.

Newsom's discursive speaking style - he called this a distraction, then condemned it, then called it a distraction again - really bit him in the rear.

The freight guys have really started freaking out over the past 48-72 hours:

CARTOON OF THE DAY (from @BennettCartoons ) 🇺🇸 😕

Trump is rescinding the Public Lands Rule. This is bad news for all of us who recreate, hunt, fish. It was viewed as a win for wildlife conservation as it elevated landscape health & habitat needs as part of BLM’s multiple use mandate. Call your rep! HANDS OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS!

The Trump administration is weighing deep cuts to federal housing programs, including a sweeping overhaul of aid to low-income families.

More than 50% of this funding was allocated for direct incentive payments to farmers. USDA says it is going to relaunch program as Advancing Markets for Producers Initiative. We'll see if they get back to promoting and rewarding sustainable farming. www.idahostatejournal.com/news/local/u...

DOGE is shaping up to be the biggest failure of all time. All pain. No gain. Shrouded in secrecy, lies, and false projections. A scam on the American people.

Karoline Leavitt is a liar, propagandist & accomplice to a criminal regime. “There is never going to be a world in which [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is going to live a peaceful life in MD because he is a foreign terrorist & MS-13 gang member,” she said w/o evidence about a man who's committed no crime.

Good Night, and Good Luck should be required viewing for every student in the US. Murrow was instrumental in ending McCarthyism. We could use a lot more Murrows right now to help put an end to the current constitutional crisis.

Total federal spending is up +7% in 2025 year-to-date on March 21 over 2024. The illusion that the fed govt is tightening its belt is contradicted by its own real-time expenditure data. Admin spectacularly hammering some things but raising spending elsewhere. Was -7% just after Inauguration Day.

A Brian Williams clip from 2021 on Carl Sagan's predictions from 1996 that are totally relevant today. I ❤️ Science. #CarlSagan #RIP 😢 #Prediction #Science #Resist

In defense of hope.

Love thus PepperNorth jerk style hot sauce. Thanks #Canada for this!! Great heat and amazing flavor. peppernorth.com/products/jam...

It is stock fraud. And it's also Trump enjoying that he can manipulate the market. He does one thing it goes down, he does a different thing it goes up. He's like a baby playing with keys.

This thread is worth a quick read! Go out and have fun people.

Imagine being a parent at 100 YEARS OLD!!!! apnews.com/article/tort... Video in the story is worth watching.

David does a good job outlining due process’ practical and moral components www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/o...

First, Steves finds a way to talk about institutions and oligarchy that is dirt simple: 1. Institutions are PUBLIC WEALTH. They are our shared wealth, dammit. 2. Billionaires can't stand wealth they don't control. 3. So they are going to dismantle our public wealth to better bleed us dry

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won. This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

Wow. We'd love that sort of response come May 1st. We stay until he is gone.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA HANDS OFF PROTESTS TODAY

This is a very big deal. Trump is systematically dismantling the protections against foreign (e.g. Russian) interference in our elections.

VIDEO HANDS OFF RALLY today in #Quartzsite, AZ #handsoff

I was at the DC rally. Loads of positive energy and a big crowd. Very energizing. I feel better now than I have in weeks. Let’s do this around May Day too! ☘️

We just hatched chicks this week. Kids have been debating what pets have 'rizz'. Pretty entertaining discussion! So, do your pers have 'rizz'.

DOOCY: Trump's trade and tariff team is very confident that all this is going to work. But what if they're wrong? LEAVITT: They're not going to be wrong. It is going to work.

Tonight, between Booker and the Florida results, is a night to remember that the unraveling of American democracy is not inevitable. Trumpism’s vision for the future is not inevitable. We have a voice—and a vote too.

💯🎯 #TransDayOfVisibility

VERY NICELY DONE...NOT SHOW IT AROUND EVERYBODY!!

Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

American Alysa Liu is the 2025 World Figure Skating Champion. Her father, a Chinese political refugee, left China for the US in the '90s when he was 25. It's a quintessential American story. Immigrants are our strength and have always made our country great! Let's not destroy it now.
