The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Turner Classic Movies is resisting today - right now. Keeper of the Flame. It takes a while to get to the point, but this is an amazing anti-fascist movie. So anti-Trump. Huge respect to TCM.

No soup for you, Red Sox! Go #Astros

The GOP is not a good faith partner in governing. They are not on the level. Their stated goals are irrelevant and disconnected to their behavior. Any Democrat who pretends otherwise is misunderstanding our opposition and not up to what this moment demands.

It’s almost impossible to watch most of the TV coverage of the big awful bill, which treats it like the usual Congressional horse trading rather than an entire party that is fine with destroying America to please Donald Trump in his pursuit of total power.

Bad people know that one way to control people is to make them feel economically uncertain, so more of their time is spent worrying about their own precarity and less on the general welfare and/or what the bad people are doing. There's a reason the current administration is undermining the economy.

In this week's @runforsomething.net feel-good update: 51 amazing new leaders to love. rfsfeelgoodupdates.substack.com/p/rfs-feel-g...

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses. Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence. Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

Saturday In the park Reading the new @scalzi.com

When your mom is visiting and massive cleaning is in order, you have Bar Rescue marathon playing to get your sorry, lazy butt in order, and get your sh*t together. Somewhat immaculate home status underway!

You know you live in a sh*thole country when the LEAST illegally unconstitutional thing your government did, before f'n Friday, is massive, blatantly obvious, market manipulatio/insider trading!!!

Hey federal legislators! SHUT IT ALL DOWN TO PREVENT THE SAVE ACT!!

Just today, three next-gen leaders jumped into big races - Mallory McMorrow for Senate in MI, & Jake Rakov and Deja Foxx for US House in CA & AZ. The Democratic Party *will* be changing, whether the leadership & establishment likes it or not.

Fun fact: @runforsomething.net is *still* averaging about 500 new people signing up every single day to consider a run for local office.

So, the plan to "make America great" was to deport hardworking migrants who were paying into the system without receiving benefits and force 14 year kids to work the graveyard shift instead of attending school to fill the job vacancies. Got it.

Chevy Bolt EVs rock.

America is insane right now, so I cook, and that reminds me, I should restart Breaking Bad to help with the insanity.

Make America Great Again; Take Back America = Welcome to White Supremacy. Disgusting and un-American.

The rate at which our country is being destroyed is absolutely horrifying. Nothing is sacred. They are burning everything. I'm scared. Can't sleep.

They're crashing the Dow. They're crashing the planes. They're crashing the country of the people who live there.

United States soft diplomacy is vital to world security.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Super Bowl Lies and America's Dangerous Retreat from Global Leadership 500,000 tons of food rotting in American ports isn't just waste—it's a dangerous abdication of U.S. leadership that threatens global stability and our national security open.substack.com/pub/1nadines...

Musk isn’t making government smaller. He’s shutting down the parts of the government that have been investigating his companies for safety violations and ties to Russia.

Happy Caturday. Here is Luke diligently guarding my coffee enhancement additive.

Everything is insane, so I cook. Here is menu for this next week in 2025 madness.

I do not know how long I will be in mourning, but right now every meal must be comfort food. Albondigas vegetable soup tonight.

First attempt at Doro Wat. Clearly won the required votes to break the new recipe ceiling. Looking forward to the next time. Kamala is my president.

The cats are gathering warmth for the arctic blast. Supposed to snow in Houston soon.

Cat on a cardigan. Happy #Caturday. Also, go Texans. Epic football battle today vs. Chiefs.

On the menu this week.

On this Caturday Demo is feeling for our folks in Los Angeles. The tragedy is weighing on him deeply.

Came across the perfect song to tighten up a playlist I made a couple years ago. Really pleased with the edit. The song that tightened it up is Foxglove by Haley Heynderickx. open.spotify.com/playlist/3aM...

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

A sharp looking VW ID4 parked next to my Chevy Bolt at Aldi. EV owners know how to save money on gas and groceries!

Trump is guilty playlist I created the day he was convicted of 34 felonies. open.spotify.com/playlist/42V...

Soup nazi emphatically proclaims, "MAGA - no soup for you!! Four years, no soup!!"

Soup preparations underway.

My oldest cat, Demo, has found a new morning napping place. Unfortunately, it is in my garage and now I can't leave. I planted that blanket there, so I suppose this of my own doing.

Your Saturday words of wisdom……

Happy Caturday.
