I'm trying really hard to explain how State and federal governments work together and how things can vary and I'm struggling. I said we are basically 50 small countries in a trenchcoat under the same parent or on the same bus. That's the best I got

Brown: Autocrats don’t fear the disease or the babies dying from whooping cough — they fear the evidence of it, because evidence exposes their failures, demands accountability, and empowers the public.

Nothing fancy, just some foothills stuff at #Sunset up on E. Camilo Cielo Road above #SantaBarbara tonight. #Photography

This is Cody. He's always wanted a dog of his own, and his wish finally came true. Can already tell his new little brother Cooper is going to be his best friend forever. 13/10 for both (TT: codythegoldenboy)

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Ukrainian, British and European officials are close to finalising a streamlined alternative to the US peace proposal to end Russia’s war that includes security guarantees for the country. www.ft.com/content/2351...

This is when I knew Xi was going to take this babbling fool to the cleaners, and us in the process. The Golden Age of Dipshittery.

Just a reminder of August in the garden from 5 years ago on this blustery damp December day.

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate. Good. Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose. She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot. It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

#TerrierTuesday ! How are you doing this week pals? #BTPosse 🐾

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

When the democrats get back in power they need to reform our federal government to work for the American people, below the top 10%. AND - throw out the Supreme Court. They are a piece of s&$t!!!!!!

It's been almost three weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Breaking News: Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois signed a bill that restricts immigration enforcement near state courthouses and makes it easier to sue ICE agents.

For the record, I will be swearing in on Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower after I’m elected.

I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

Hot take: now that Chicago officially has the worst traffic in the country I am starting to think that everyone who can should switch as many trips as they can to bikes, transit and even carpooling to reduce and avoid said traffic as well as improve sustainability, mobility, and health. Sue me.

So I found a snickedoodle recipe that looks like mine. For the goddamn holiday part, put more cinnamon in the dough and then roll in green or red sugar. If anyone starts about standard measurements or weird ingredients, so help me. #Recipe www.modernhoney.com/the-best-sni...

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔
