Massive TSA chaos at NYC’s LaGuardia Airport today — endless lines, missed flights, pure frustration. Not an accident: Republicans are blocking Democratic bills to fund TSA while ICE negotiations continue. Travelers are suffering because the GOP won’t pass “clean” TSA pay. ✈️😡

This sweet girl is being put to sleep today. We got her at a pet fair when she was a kitten, the leftover of a huge litter, so starved for love she was annoying about it. She lived 18 years and got me through the hardest times in my life. I am going to miss her a lot. Love you, Pippa.

Daily Dose of if Truth and Facts The struggle of "all men are created equal" in our attempt to create a more perfect union is today's history lesson. The US is a work in progress: freedom is not free and democracy requires eternal vigilance.

Several English folks asked if we were Americans today. Ugh.💔 We reluctantly said yes, followed with a "please don't tell anyone, since we are completely embarrassed to be Americans right now." Then added, "we are truly sorry for everything. And no, we didn't vote for him in any election."

Trump is panicking. His latest threats to blow up Iran’s power plants within 48 hours if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened is thick with desperation. It reads like we’re finally arriving at the narcissistic collapse stage where he grasps he’s losing and lashes out hysterically.

Found this Pileated Woodpecker hard at work during my walk in the woods this afternoon. #wildlife #birds

I want to be clear about what happened today: While Republicans keep the Senate in session to try and pass their dangerous SAVE act, they also tried to push through a ridiculous ban on transgender athletes. We blocked it.

Oh. Stage an assassination attempt, you say? Interesting.

🤯 Russian intelligence plotted a staged assassination attempt on Viktor Orbán. The plan aimed to boost his ratings by shifting the campaign to security issues, The Washington Post reported, noting it’s unclear how far it went.

Too many news outlets continue to frame their coverage of POTUS as if there's a strategy, a rationale underpinning this. It's obvious there is not, and never has been - for a decade. Just his disordered, real-time reaction to tweets, Fox, late-night TV, and the Dow.
