Angel Kitty had an exceedingly difficult week. It started with a move of furniture resulting in the loss of her favorite hiding place, cleaners, window cleaners, and unapproved by cats) guests. She deserves her sleep this #Caturday, so do not wake her.

National tuxedo cat day!

The hot spot for a warm catnap on a chilly day is in demand at the Kitty casa. 💙🕊️ #BlueSkyArtShow Theme: #Warmth #Caturday #catsofbluesky #CatLife #Art #petsofbluesky #animals #pets #Home #Photography #Winter #Gratitude

Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time." Full article: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories: • Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption). • Sex criminals. • War criminals.

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan. I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month. And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

But if the court finds OpenAI knowingly trained on pirated books and deleted the evidence to to avoid scrutiny, that could mean actual consequences to the tune of billions of dollars.

The “kill them all” order by SecDef Hegseth would be a textbook war crime even if the original attack had been legal.

As Trump announces the closure of Venezuelan airspace in anticipation of a war, there is literally nothing about it on the CNN or New York Times homepages as of 11:50 AM ET

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set

No one has learned anything in the last twoish years. Presumably on purpose.

WHY IS ANY OF THIS HAPPENING WE COULD BE SPENDING THE MONEY GIVEN TO THESE ICE GOONS ON HEALTH CARE FOR ALL.

As a parent do I still have medical freedom to have my child vaccinated? Or does freedom only apply to scientifically proven terrible ideas?

What is this going to be in three years? It is only getting worse with time.

Yes. It's a very common misconception about the past that horses were just a one-to-one replacement for cars - only the rich had carriages, few people rode on horseback for transportation, most horses were used for hauling, not transporting people. Most people (like most of human history) walked

That one time I went comet hunting and the clouds hid the comet but put on a great sunset. #Arizona #LandscapePhotography

“Part. Of. A. Team.”

Congressman Troy Nehls (R-TX) isn’t going to seek reelection next year.

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid. A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

ICE still FROZEN at Centre St & Howard in lower Manhattan right now as calls continue circulating for people to join. NYPD arriving with barricades.

Oh, CONGRESS is on it? Was Barney Fife not available?

mr kitty is at the vet and the vet recorded his affect as "kind and stoic"

Honestly if you can get the New York Times to pay you for three years to figure out which frozen pizzas taste good more power to you

Ed Whelan was Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for OLC from 2001-2004, so when he suggests that laws of war have been violated by the executive branch, that’s… something

Young people in the U.S. have been priced out of their dreams. Stop acting like it’s their fault.

I guess it’s clear why the lawmakers needed to make that video

The biggest technological revolution of our lifetime is underway and it's not AI:

yeah I feel a very high sense of alarm about what the "incapable of loving our country" goalposts are going to include quite certainly they're going to try very hard to use it on elected Democrats which is at least one reason I feel like we need to be TALKING ABOUT IMPEACHMENT WAY MORE THAN WE ARE

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

We need to start calling him this #SecretaryofWarCrimes

I like how they specifically said the 75 million is *not* an admission of guilt so I guess it’s just a bribe for no reason and they decided to put that in writing

The ultimate Wilson family Thanksgiving weekend tradition

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

One reason you can’t win over authoritarians with appeals to America’s best traditions is that they hate America’s best traditions.

Thread about an actual drug smuggler who’s about to be pardoned by Trump

A Cambridge-led study of 13.9 million children in England found COVID vaccines are the safest option. The very rare, short-term risk of heart inflammation from vaccination is far lower than the risks from infection, which can cause blood clots, heart issues and severe inflammation for up to a year.

Update: he specifically banned us with the guy taking over his shift. That guy upon hearing it was our daughter’s birthday let us on.

friend whose christmas card just arrived: how dare you.

Conservatives must be overjoyed at their senile emperor's decorating. He has also spent more time on the new east wing than on healthcare or anything else for that matter.

With a Bitcoin crash wiping out a trillion dollars of value in the past few weeks, the industry is counting on friendly regulators in Washington to give it a boost.

It is a deep disgrace to the Jewish people that Stephen Miller, a man who would betray his own people to the Nazis as he goosestepped into the camps himself, is treated better by our institutions than Jews who publucly oppose the same kind of genocide and ethnic cleansing he endorses.

If they ever get around to building this thing, it should be bulldozed on Day 1 of a new administration. No messing around, no hemming and hawing about procedure or costs. Order heavy equipment in and start knocking it down immediately, as surely as an overthrown tyrant's statues would be torn down.

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

The silence from national level Democrats on the murder being committed in our name by the US military is getting more and more deafening by the minute

TIL you can get a Beer Sword at sabres games now and they look fucking amazing (this promotional photo courtesy of labatt has two of the most buffalo lookin dudes i have ever seen)

This is actually a relevant factor here: it's been pretty clear SOUTHCOM, whose commander resigned, has been pushing back, at least somewhat. They're putting it under the operational command of SOCOM specifically because that's the most already rotten place you'll find people happy to do crimes.
