Translation: It terrifies me that Bill Clinton is testifying before congress.

Trump: "It bothers me that somebody is going after Bill Clinton. I still like Bill Clinton."

Had a couple of balls of multi coloured wool left over from a project, so using it to create a "fake" fair isle jumper. Quite pleased with the effect. #knitsky #knit

Hey, several batches of baby formula from a couple different brands in the uk and Europe have been recalled for contamination causing illness: if you formula feed, check your supply. Info here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Post is now a right wing penny saver. Easily ignored. Even the least of fish will refuse to be wrapped in it.

It may be cold and damp outside but Cher is a warm & cozy corgi inside 🥰 #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

As @jeffsharlet.bsky.social documented in The Family, honoring brutal right wing dictators from around the world has been a National Prayer Breakfast tradition since the 1980s.

Gestapos opened fire, striking Martinez 5 times in the arm, chest & both legs 1 gestapo had body cam ... Martinez has said in court that it shows an officer shouting "do something b--" The gestapo who shot her, in a group text: "I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."

Fun head to head image

New in PN: Lower courts can't fix what's broken in Minnesota "Judge Menendez’s decision isn’t a failure of will. It’s a result of a world where conservatives on the nation’s highest court have decided their job is to help President Trump achieve a desired result, law and procedure be damned."

Sen. Cynthia Lummis simps for the crypto industry on Maria Bartiromo's show next to a graphic showing that bitcoin has lost nearly 40 percent of its value in 6 months

That last line really sneaks up on you

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Rep. Ben Cline at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We are reminded that leadership is not only about policy and power, but about character, conscience, and the recognition that all authority that all authority is ultimately accountable to God. We are honored to welcome President Bukele."

Trump at Natl Prayer Breakfast: "I never get a fair break from the fake news, which is back there. That's a lot of fake news. Last time I was having a lot of fun, we had 60,000 people & I'm talking about the fact I will never make it to heaven. I was being funny... I think I probably should make it"

let us pray

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

I’m an atheist and I remember when this used to be a nice thing where rabbis and imams and pastors all got together and said hey we like this country.

Hard to imagine an event more effective at discrediting organized religion

Trump: "I didn't get 250. I tried to claim it a couple of times. I said, 'I produced 250 year anniversary. It was my deal. I got 250 years.' And the press hit me hard on that one. So I gave it up immediately ... then they rigged the election."

You know, @seancasten.bsky.social is very good at this.

Alex Pretti wasn't killed by rhetoric, he was killed by two masked CBP agents shooting him 10 times in the back after they had disarmed and pepper sprayed him. Rhetoric didn't kill Renee Good either, a thug from ICE did that with a gun as she tried to avoid hurting him.

Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births. But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.

Jeffries: "Johnson and Thune aren't working for the American people. They work for Trump. So many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle function like a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump cartel ... Johnson called the 4th Amendment an inconvenience. It's not."

Casten to Bessent on VZ oil money: "IEEPA specifically says you have to be engaged in hostilities with a country for IEEPA to trigger. Rubio said we are not at war with Venezuela. So unless you disagree w/ him, I'm unclear other what legal authorities the US has to control or disperse those assets"

GARCIA: Do you have any idea how much we're spending on ICE every day? BESSENT: This is the financial stability oversi--- GARCIA: You're the treasury. You're supposed to follow the money. How much are they spending to terrorize communities? BESSENT: Again, President Trump has secured the border

Kash Patel refers to FBI agents who raided the Fulton County elections office as "my troops on the ground"

Several dog beds, pillows and cushioned surfaces to choose from, but Chester decides “on top of the VCR” is the most comfy place for his head. 🙄 #DailyChester

Did the gusset decreases today. I’m waiting to work on the TP again until Friday so hopefully I’ll make decent progress on this again tomorrow. #NightlyProgressReport #Knitting 🧶

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Today's Black Fact: Harriet Tubman returned time and time again to rescue family and friends in Maryland as conductor of 'the Underground Railroad.' Nicknamed Grandma Moses for leading so many slaves out of bondage, Tubman devoted her life to fighting slavery and championing the rights of women.
