@tacothecat.bsky.social - this you? 😎

My response to Eric Swalwell. And trust me this is as sincere as I can be.

(1/X) The reaction to Trump's attacks on the Pope will be remarkably muted in the media. I won't be surprised to see liberal Catholics (like E. J. Dionne) criticize it but Trump-supporting (Marc Thiessen) and Trump-adjacent (Douthat, Liz Bruenig, Caitlin Flanagan) will mostly ignore it...

A message from my wife @allysammarco.bsky.social:

I wrote a deeply personal column and freeing a young man from ICE detention. coloradosun.com/2026/04/12/i...

Take a look at the CNN sourcing and fact-checking on their Swalwell article. Look at how many extra people they contacted in order to corroborate claims. They viewed screenshots, called parents/husbands/friends/colleagues. They viewed TV footage and interviews, & more. Two things worth pointing out:

Yesterday Trump proposed a US-Iran "joint venture" toll:

Good morning. "You got that right." ~Jinx🤭 Happy 1st Caturday of April!🐾💙🐾

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

I fear with congressional shenanigans, we'll be without our official #FridayNightZillow from @steventdennis.bsky.social. So here's a few I found in my general part of the woods. Here's a Colorado Springs house that has you enter into the bar/pool table area. www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Look at my menagerie! All handmade at @madmumbler.bsky.social. Look for her Etsy page - she has a lovely crocheted voodoo doll that is so appropriate right now. 😎

Oh noes. Another “unflattering” picture of Pete Hegseth. Would be such a shame if people saw it.

The biggest metaphor of life‼️

MS NOW: #Dyslexia #f'djt #StephanieRuhle Dumbest president, ever!!

Yes,the emerging line is wily, ruthless Israel tricked poor, trusting, naive Donald Trump into a stupid, reckless war. GMAFB. Israel has absolutely pushed for this but ultimately it’s DONALD TRUMP who decided to take the US to war. He likes war! He likes blowing things up! He literally says it’s fun

Doing my part...

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security. A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2074...

@mnsheltierescue.bsky.social That is so sweet of you to put up Boomer's photo. It really helps. ❤️

He is not worth the end of our Republic: an imperfect but determined two-hundred-and-fifty-year experiment in Democracy having its life and liberty choked out by a sneering, narcissistic, intellectually fetal, morally bankrupt bottom feeder... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/he-is-not-...

I am beyond saddened to tell everyone that Boomer crossed the Bridge this afternoon. He'd stopped eating, and was in kidney failure. My heart is broken. #sheltie #dogsofbluesky

I am pleased to announce Boomer ate his dinner with very little prompting from me. (I sat on the floor and held his bowl, since he has decided to recline like a Roman emperor.) Here he is under the end table with the slippers. #sheltie #dogsofbluesky

Tonight let’s boycott Felon Trump’s lies & instead watch the 💥 PEOPLE’S STATE OF THE UNION 💥 Join me & @joyannreid.bsky.social LIVE in DC on the National Mall with Members of Congress, allies, & Americans impacted by the Trump Regime. You can also watch here: www.youtube.com/live/oArKZut...

I finally got video of Boomer's full gravity check!

There’s no question that the prosecution is purely political and utterly meritless. But my experience differs a bit on the issue of “will they tell your defense lawyer their theory of the case before they charge.” Sometimes, depending on circumstances and the prosecutor, they won’t. /1

Shot: Colbert explaining to his audience last night that the Trump administration ordered him not to air an interview with Texas Democrat and Senate candidate James Talarico - or even mention his name. (Scroll to 1:30) youtu.be/oh7DPSP65JA

Chaser: the 15 minute interview Colbert did with Talarico and posted to YouTube. (The FCC should really know who Barbra Streisand is by now.) youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A

I’m so woke, I believe in full LGBTQ rights, that we should protect the planet, that everyone deserves healthcare, that a nation cannot be Christian, that the world is bigger than America, and that to be "pro-life" means to treasure all of it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/confession...

@emmettdoog.bsky.social Maybe SmolNinja would like to try this. 😎

Lindsey Vonn did not crash because of her ACL. I got up early this morning to watch the women's downhill event at the Olympics. I watched the whole event, from the pre-show to Team USA's Breezy Johnson posting the gold-winning time to Lindsey Vonn being medevaced off the mountain. (thread)

Everyone is shitting on the Post for implying that Bad Bunny, from Puerto Rico, is a “immigrant,” not an American citizen. But WaPo is actually being honest about the Trumpist immigration agenda, for which dutifully if dully supports. The Trumpist agenda is white nationalist. /1

To all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow: Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too. Signed, the American people

I don't know when I last read something like the transcript out of Minnesota, so I spent the evening putting this together. www.lawdork.com/p/the-minnes...

Hi, I’m Ken, and I am here to tell you things you won’t like. It’s my job. I sympathize with Julie Le and am on her side in general but she went about it the wrong way. /1

Folks, every single video you've seen on here (or anywhere online) of local law enforcement arresting ICE is fake. They're all AI-generated. They're not real. I know they may look real to you, but they're not. Please, for the love of all that's good, stop sharing these videos.

Hey, everyone, the president is very sensitive about his long relationship with his best friend Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious pedophile, so please don't post about it or send those stories to your friends and family

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

A thousand thanks to everyone sending pawsitive thoughts for Da Boom. No cancer found!! Just some inflammation, which we'll treat with a low dose steroid, and I'll keep running the air purifier and humidifiers. #sheltie #dogsofbluesky

Morning routine: 1. Sass the momma; 2. Borkfast; 3. Pee; 4. Snow cones and snow rolls; 5. Poop; 6. Treatos! #sheltie #dogsofbluesky

Please share. 💔

Da Boom is home! #sheltie #dogsofbluesky

It has been a horrible couple of days. Boomer has been having nosebleeds, and we don't know why. He went for a CT scan today to look for a mass and there isn't one! Cancer isn't yet ruled out, so Da Boom needs all the pawsitive thoughts. A 1000 thanks! #sheltie #dogsofbluesky

One of the most popular and crowd-pleasing arias in classical opera, "Perché non c'è cibo nella mia ciotola, donna?" tells an emotional tale of a desperately malnourished waif and translates into English as "Why Is There No Food In My Bowl, Woman?"
