The President is lying to the public: 1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land. youtu.be/OKyIKHW8ONI

Massie: "She didn't answer anything. She came here ready to talk about the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq, which seems kind of crazy to me."

It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.

It appears #Trump may have released Dahud Hanid Ortiz, in the U.S., as part of a botched "hostage swap" with Venezuela, which was staged for a photo-op and a headline. The only problem? Ortiz is a Venezuelan-born Venezuelan citizen who was convicted of a triple homicide and sentenced to 30 years.

During a dive last year in the Atlantic Ocean off Argentina, researchers documented a giant phantom jelly, a deep-sea species rarely seen since it was discovered a little over a century ago. “There was a mixture of excitement and disbelief,” said one marine biologist. trib.al/HfkWfp4

HOLY CRAP Pete Hegseth is Roy Cohen gay. He’s the military version of George Michael. Certainly explains his alcohol problem. Me thinks he doth protest too much.Poor guy.I just found a moment of sympathy for him! It’s gone now, but if you had one of those neutron detectors, it might have registered.

In the eve of a nightmare: Springfield OH braces for impact.

Every accusation is a confession.

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year: “As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

The President of the United States is compromised. It is time for Congress to act. Now!

Who is going to enforce this? This administration is lawless.

“The aroma of infatuation, the perfume of the forbidden…DOJ is proud to unveil its new signature Jeffrey Epstein fragrance, Crave by Jeff,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said at a press conference

As if Nipah virus weren’t bad enough, some patients in Asia were coinfected with an emerging bat virus called Pteropine orthoreovirus (PRV). Symptoms of PRV include fever, disorientation, abnormal gait, and difficulty breathing. PRV seems to have traits that increase likelihood of zoonosis.

A #Kittiwake, seen here in mid flight, carrying a 400lb block of ice to its summer nesting grounds 2000 miles away. It will fly nonstop.

Ten years ago, after about 50 days, a stray I brought back from Miami birthed a litter of 16 w/ 13 surviving. I was going to keep her and one pup. There were two failed adoptions, so pack of 4 ever since. #BluesSkyPups #Dogs #BratPack #Amstaff #Mutts #family #Stubby #Chip #Baxter #Basel

Con•fit-meat cooked slowly in its own fat. She was so small I believe that’s how she came to be. Ostensibly a CotonDeTulear rescue, she was a sweet little pup and 11lbs of twisted steel… sorry, pulled sugar. #ClassicMon #EastCoastKin #Dogs #PhotographersUnited #ArtYear #BWFri #Portrait #minimalism

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

With all the sh#t. I decided it’s time for some Sam Cooke. This version does justice to the original.
