We are just starting the gardening…. My three babies.

The lilac bushes in our gardens.

And now for something completely different.. Bertha Wegmann (1847–1926) was a Danish portrait painter of Swiss ancestry. She was the first woman to hold a chair at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts "Despair" (1909) Oil On Canvas

🇺🇸 GOV. WES MOORE: “Loving your country does not mean diminishing those who helped make our country so powerful and so unique in world history in the first place.” @govwesmoore.bsky.social stands up for immigration and the diversity of the American “mosaic” — and against erasing history.

Whoa! Amazon’s about to show you the Trump tax right at checkout. They’ll list tariff costs so you can see exactly how much more you’re paying because of Trump’s chaos. The White House is not happy about this, but the truth is, you’re going to be seeing this from a lot of retailers very soon.

The administration is mad at Amazon for posting import costs (e.g. tariff pricing). When they make you be transparent it’s so much harder to fool the fools when they have to be parted with their money.

Yup! I predicted that Canada would be instrumental in saving the USA from itself. It’s started

Wow! California is now the 4th largest economy in the world, surpassing Japan! abc7news.com/post/califor...

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

This is complete insanity.

The resistance is growing.

Sign game strong today 🔥

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court was not for sale.

Raskin: I call on my colleagues to take down the wanted posters with judges’ faces on them outside of offices in House office buildings

After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

Imagine thinking a guy who charges around $100K for a vehicle with glued on metal panels that just fall off is the one to be trusted anywhere near our government.

OMG! 🤣

📌As a vet, seeing the removal of the sacrifice and commitment of Black soldiers, sailors and airmen/women by a draft-dodger is one of the most revolting, racist things I have seen in my long lifetime. It is sickening and not what this country is supposed to stand for, or what I served to protect.

"DOGE's jello-against-the-wall strategy has largely failed in court, and this week a federal judge ordered it to pony up and begin complying with FOIA request filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington."
