Millions of dollars are missing. ABC, Paramount, X, and Meta all settled lawsuits by promising to donate millions to Trump's library fund. Now, his initial library fund is gone. Is the money in Donald Trump's pocket? I'm pressing for answers.

Vernalagnia [vur-nuh-LAG-nee-yuh] (n.) - An overwhelming romantic mood induced by Springtime; spring fever. Used in a sentence: “Those juvenescent chaps, driven half mad by vernalagnia, did occasion no small scandal at the Spring Fling Sock Hop.”

Tax season: "the wealthy absorbed neighboring farms through purchase ...similar to the US today, where investor-ownership of land and housing has made it harder for ordinary people to own property themselves." This channel has many citations from period documents on all their videos.

Wore a silly hat to the local No Kings protest against the guy who is acting like a corrupt king, enabled by the Republican Congress. It was 27F with a breeze, brrr.

Comment on a YLE post: I want to make everyone aware, as an ID pharmacist, if a person is prescribed Paxlovid, it can nearly always be free, even for Medicare pts, if the following website is used by the pharmacy. Yes, our healthcare system is convoluted. paxlovid.iassist.com

Made this for a friend who gets too involved in gaming and forgets to drink water and take his meds. I wanted it to look like a D&D 'magic item.' This now hangs next to the computer.

She is just a SYMPTOM of a brutal regime. The brutality is POLICY, and it won't stop.

"Anti-abortion law doesn't have a compelling interest for existing outside of the religious beliefs of the lawmakers who made it.. it shouldn't bind people [disagree that an embryo is fully human] Sincerely-held beliefs that a woman is in charge of her own body is heresy to many.

Andy Borowitz [columnist] mentioned that there was a British documentary by their show Panorama entitled "Trump - Is The President a Sex Pest?" from 2018. It is currently on YouTube on a non-BBC channel. It might get a take down notice at any time. It is NOT pleasant viewing.

"January 9, DHS began putting its changes to work, seeking out and detaining lawful refugees who have broken no laws and followed DHS’ processes to the letter. One moment they were law-abiding refugees, the next many were arrested, shackled, and interrogated."

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

I can't decide, if I were in one or both of these worlds, which gods' service I would prefer to be in. The White Rat? The Bastard? It's a puzzle. @tkingfisher.com

“The president’s obvious contempt for female athletes was especially galling given that American women once again outperformed the men at the winter games, winning 63.6% of Team USA’s overall medals and 8 out of 12 golds.” The Success of 'Heated Rivalry' Is a Lesson for the Men’s Hockey Team

The women's team has won more gold recently than the men's. "The men's team seemed happy to serve as props during Trump’s record setting—for longevity—State of the Union speech." thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/olympics-t...

The SAVE act is aimed at the 3-noncitizens-per-year who are voting. It will disenfranchise most married women (only 14% keep their birth names), and other groups. "2023: approximately 169,000,000 females in the US" = will disenfranchise 23,000,000 women for the sake of 3 votes per year.

Did you know that Nancy Mace limited comments on her official IG? Social media is generally considered a public forum and protected under free speech; it is illegal to allow some comments and not others. You can report her for that. Whether this Administration cares is a different question.

Reading up: looks like the UGears hurdy gurdy kit will need cotton on the strings just like a real one, to sound decent. I'm nearly finished with the kit (it's essentially a toy.) The one below is a kit for a real one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=34LP...

Hello! I see you've decided to conflate a human being being an evil fascist apologist committing crimes and perpetuating fraud with (checks notes) being a woman. Perhaps you would like to not do this.

“There is broad agreement across parties in Wales that the current system offers few real consequences for dishonesty. As one Senedd member put it: “Lying flourishes in politics because we can get away with it”. Wales is trying to outlaw political lying, without curbing free speech

The point of No Kings is not only protest, but to "build muscle" for future organizing and actions, so sayeth the various organizers. One thing we all. need to do before the next one (which has now been scheduled) is continue to communicate with our congresspeople.

We should not believe anything in this information space that comes from the administration. _DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘a smear campaign’_

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.
