I have some sad news, and will probably be quiet here for a few days. Sweet Pea took a rapid and terrible turn for the worse, and late yesterday had to be put to sleep. Thank you for all your concern, advice, caring, prayers and encouragement. It’s meant the world to me. #dogs #love #grief

Trump already wants to give the Pentagon an extra $500 billion in its budget — so much money that officials reportedly don't even know how to spend it. Now they're gearing up to ask Congress for even more billions to fund the war with Iran. Imagine what we could do with that money.

Happy gotcha day, gremlin

Raskin tears Kristi Noem a new one: "Apparently when your blankie was left on one of the govt jets and not transported to the new one, your special govt employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fight the pilot -- mid air!"

Still going... #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Statement from Jasmine Crockett.

LIEU: Did Amalia commit a crime? NOEM: She did not. She's with her family LIEU: The reason she's with her family is because she almost died in ICE detention until folks brought a lawsuit forcing her release

Cheyenne, the pup that I found along the highway yesterday and her human family stopped by to visit this afternoon and offer a reward for my help, which I of course refused. As you can see by her smile, that debt is paid in full. 🐶 ❤️

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

Nope... #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

If you live in any state controlled by the GOP, be sure to check the status of your voter registration. This is particularly important in Georgia.

Final Luna update of the night: She tried to break through the barrier that's preventing her from crawling under the bed. Then she tried making cute sounds to get us to let her up into bed. Finally, she collapsed in a giant huff.

March is Women's History Month Frances Perkins (born Fannie Coralie Perkins; April 10, 1880 – May 14, 1965) served as the U.S. Secretary of Labor from 1933 to 1945, the longest serving in that position, and the first woman appointed to the U.S. Cabinet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances...

The new leader of Iran…we don’t want him. They can have him.

The Epstein cover-up is starting to crack, but Pam Bondi is still stonewalling. This is the biggest scandal in modern history, and it's being buried. Congress: Do your job. Demand the full release NOW. Who's with us? Tell your reps:

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

I don't usually bother much with coots, as they are just so common and plentiful. So much so that I didn't realise they have scary red eyes. #birds #photography

#RockinTuesday I love these jutting rocks on the Monongahela in #Pittsburgh. A reminder of how earth’s mantel bent and eroded, leaving rocks once parallel to the surface, aiming skyward. A great seat to contemplate how earth existed well before us and will exist after we are gone. #photography

Iran and Iranian-backed militias have fired missiles at Israel and Arab states, apparently hitting the U.S. Embassy compound in Kuwait, while Israel and the United States pounded targets in Iran. https://bit.ly/4skzrGo

If every person who has attempted or plans to attend a No Kings March votes Blue in the midterm election Congress can be retaken. Think about what this simple act can accomplish. Be sure you double check that you are registered to vote well in advance. This is a very patriotic act .

KLOBUCHAR: Are you aware agents bashed in the door of a citizen? NOEM: I can't speak to specifics K: Do you believe he was involved in fraud? Are you aware he's son of a beloved nurse that treated our soldiers in Vietnam? Did they have a judicial warrant? Are you aware he tried to show his ID?

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

Noem really doesn’t care about citizens, the law or the U.S. Constitution. Neither does Trump.

I was out and about when I heard the (what I thought) was tapping by a woodpecker. When my ears and eyes trained to the location, I was surprised to find not a woodpecker, but a beautiful tiny Brown-headed Nuthatch (Sitta pusilla) tapping for insects. Wilson, NC #bird #birdphotography #mybirdshots

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

This is going to be hard for some people to accept, but I think the US government is lying to us about the state of negotiations between itself and Iran.

Very clear analysis.

Kaine Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby: "You are uncomfortable having your own words read to you, and you're uncomfortable saying the assassination of a leader and arrest of a leader is regime change. I think that's very instructive."
