Never apologize for treating your dog like a baby. In a world that forces you to be tough, having a creature that lets you be soft, nurturing, and vulnerable is a blessing. You are lucky if one loves you, you are luckier still if you love each other.

Whoa … this is really strange. Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone. 🎁 link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

Follow up: it doesn’t say it’s illegal to fire on incapacitated shipwrecked. It just says it’s illegal to fire on the shipwrecked. Where’d you get “incapacitated” and why are you such an asshole?

Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits. Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases. Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

How very not surprising 👇

A Republican president once picked Ben Bernanke—a future Nobel laureate—because expertise mattered more than spin. That norm, picking Fed chairs for brains not loyalty, does more to protect your paycheck than any campaign slogan.

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

Mr. Feldman Said This At Chump's 1st Impeachment Trial.......

Trump is an ally of Putin and is officially the enemy of Europe. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Dude cannot stop lying

White House border czar Tom Homan said ordinances in Minneapolis and St. Paul barring police from cooperation with immigration authorities are one catalyst for the operation. “It takes a whole team to find somebody in a community where it would take one agent to arrest one bad guy in a county jail.”

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Noticed tonight that @cbsnews.com coverage of the situation in Ukraine had plenty on Russian strikes and non-progress of US peace efforts, but nothing on Ukrainian counterattacks into Russia, sanctions, nor EU military support. Seems biased towards the Russian perspective.

Again. For the people in the back. Trump and his henchmen are Russian assets.

Red Texas is a leader in renewable energy deployment. The state's solar surge proves that the energy transition defies politics.

HAHAHA! Well, now the case is EXTRA dead. Even if they won an appeal on the Halligan thing, their core evidence is now off limits lulzzzz

America's gun psychopathy continues: *458* mass shootings so far in 2025. 💔😡💔 #GunsDontMakeUsSafer The latest, with 2 adults killed, 2 adults critically wounded, and a 4-yr-old child injured, in Muskegon, Mich.: www.mlive.com/news/muskego...

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented. ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”. Why is ICE harassing women?

San Diego agrees to pay $30 million to family of teenager mistakenly shot in the back by cop. "[Konoa] Wilson ran away from the gunfire and, as he fled, passed by officer Daniel Gold near the station corridor." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

* Trump has already removed the bulk of the oil sanctions he put on Putin. * Kushner & Witkoff meet with Putin & snub Ukraine by skipping a follow-up. * Putin rejects Trump's peace plan. * Putin launches massive drone attack. Trump is a likely Russian asset & US traitor.

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

Believe nothing, NOTHING, that the trump administration says.

On the campaign trail, Trump promised hundreds of times that he would end the Russia/Ukraine war in 24 hours or less, even before being sworn in, b/c of his great personal relationship with Putin. Putin played his puppet Donnie for the fool he is, & Trump is realizing it now.

So @govpritzker.illinois.gov @governor.ca.gov @govwesmoore.bsky.social Better get together and take action

Malone is now talking about the role of undocumented migrants in spreading measles. There is no evidence of this. I am disgusted. The measles outbreak is American-grown due to declining vaccination coverage in response to disinformation.

The "they were detained not arrested" talking point for ICE terrorizing people is already tiresome. It does serve as a useful indicator of abject MAGA bootlicking.

Remember: the Supreme Court handed Trump a permission slip to break the law...with both hands...and not lose a minute of sleep. And the Justices who blessed it? They're operating at a level of corruption we haven’t seen....since judges took bribes in livestock.

Tis the season where I share my reflections from a few years back on the best and worst Christmas specials: www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...

"Pete Hegseth was already on social media crowing about it and treating it like it was a video game." @radiofreetom.bsky.social and @stephruhle.bsky.social discuss the Pentagon carrying out another deadly boat strike in the midst of a controversy over a strike in September.

I mean, this is an execution

It looks like Tom Cotton was being deceptive by saying video shows the men trying to flip boat "loaded with drugs." As I reported, Ds who saw video say no drugs were visible/boat was crippled. Q for Rs is simple: Did you see drugs and was boat incapacitated, or no? newrepublic.com/article/2039...

"I was shooting the remains of the boat, the people just got in the way." Again, worth noting that this was exactly the defense that U-852's captain used in his post-WW2 war crimes trial for the Peleus Incident. He was found guilty and shot.

There’s something doubly grating about the pious invocation of “Western civilization” by the sort of incurious dolt who wouldn’t know a Titian canvas, a Beethoven quartet, or a Socratic dialogue if whapped them upside the head.

The Signalgate report showed that Hegseth risked American lives. Instead of taking responsibility, his sniveling responses were the worst kind of bureaucratic ass-covering. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Anyway, if you're surprised at all about the SCOTUS decision, remember - Bush v Gore chose the president on such nakedly partisan grounds they put in the opinion that it couldn't be used as future precedent - Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito & Barrett all served on W's election legal team
