Big puppy won’t come inside. It’s pitch dark still and now I gotta go out with a flashlight and find out wtf he’s gotten into this time. Pittie bebby came in, gave me a nose nudge, then went back to bed. Good morning. Sigh.

Robert gets surprisingly reliable advice by listening to his own tail.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

I loved her stories. 5 star read for me!

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Bull’s eye …

You know the assignment 👍

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Good morning. Pittie mix is not a fan of being cold. Ever.

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

There’s a viral video reposted by a lot of news people nationally about an abduction at West Loop Elementary School, but there is no school with that name. The video seems to be of ICE detaining people near UIC yesterday. Details matter. We need to try to get them right before sharing.

AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC: HAUNTED HISTORY STRANGER THAN FICTION is an INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!!! I'm SO GRATEFUL! Could not be more thrilled about this, I'm physically woozy with joy!

Portland is so good at trolling these fascists. I ❤️ Portland

The first falling leaves of October are all it takes to lift Phoebe's spirit.

today seems like a things-fall-apart-the-center-cannot-hold sorta day so how about a timeline cleanse for you? this is absolutely the best thing you will watch at least this week (via Matt Storer on IG)

Just in case someone missed this detail: Wells Fargo used the ICE orks to clear out a building of lawful residents to make a buck Again, a military terror purge was carried out with naked children in handcuffs for the benefit of Wells Fargo execs A corrupt corp that will bleat at any reciprocity

Exxon : while we're at it, can we talk about 80yos who aren't separating their recyclables

This is Eeyore. He led a sheriff's deputy to his grandma after she fell during their walk. We are awarding him the incredibly rare 15/10 (FB: OkaloosaSheriff)

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

That’s Los Angeles in 1992 during the LA riots. Get your shit together CNN photo editor.

Why does this dog have three normal pictures and then one that looks like Muffin is being photographed for a magazine with a headline saying “My Confession”

NEW: When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts suggest to help you through the external appeal process.

Listening to the rain this morning, the first in a long while, and it’s lovely. Then I remember my mare will find the first muddy spot in the pasture and roll, roll, roll in mud, happy as a clam.

The teef peek during scritches omfg so much cuteness 5 stars

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

This is Chicago. Where a heavily armed agent of the federal government in a combat ready vehicle is pointing a long gun at peaceful protestors. This is CHICAGO, not Fallajuh. chicago.suntimes.com

While Republicans play political games to prolong their Trump Shutdown, Democrats will be in DC to do their jobs and try to get the government back to work. Urge your Democratic senators to keep fighting to stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Walked both dogs. Now in the yard rereading this classic before heading out to wander downtown. Headed to 90° this afternoon 😳. Happy Saturday! #amreading #Saturday #peaceful

@chuckwendig.bsky.social I absolutely loved your story in "The End of the World As We Know It." Thanks for writing it. Glad you got to be part of one hell of a collection.

Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone. I'm not saying undocumented immigrants can't afford $15,000 per person on average for tickets, hotels, and transportation, but I think the real story is ICE is going to raid the Super Bowl just so they can go to the Super Bowl.

Kristi Noem is mad they wouldn’t let her in to use the restroom in Illinois today.

This morning in rapid succession I walked into a door and then stepped in cat puke, so it's pretty clear to me this Thursday can just go fuck itself

Are most people aware Medicare Advantage is a money grab? Or just those in the healthcare fields? Anyhoo, eat well, exercise daily and just say NO AND FUCK OFF to MA plans.

25 of the funniest posts we’ve seen on Bluesky this week. www.thepoke.com/2025/10/01/2...

this is serious; ICE agents in foreign environments (eg Chicago) dry up in their carapace within 18 hours without a regular supply of energy drink and punisher logos; by noon they won't even be able to flex in the mirror to make themselves feel like big boys; the decline after that is precipitous

Democrats "blocked" this bill by ... not voting for it. No dirty tricks or sneaky moves, they just didn't vote for a GOP bill. It needed 60 votes to pass, 53 Reps and 2 Dems voted for it. That, according to the broken Washington Post, means Democrats Are To Blame even though the GOP runs it all.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA. I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

All those generals and senior officers flown in from their actual jobs, at enormous taxpayer expense, only to listen to two idiots blathering in ways that defy credulity. Their group chats must be on fire.
