Clootie, we already played twice today. Just let me watch my trashy movie.

The cats rarely get in this box, so this sighting was special. #catboxsunday

Good #caturday morning.

😻 and 😿

Snug as a two bugs.

Come, brother. It is spring. Let us regard the birds together.

Have I been too lax about sharing my sweaters with the cats?

And you call this a "clothes dryer"? It is very good, this machine. It is warm.

I like to think that Brian, like me, waits all day for evening cuddles.

How they typically position themselves about 5 minutes before we go to bed.

A peek under the covers

This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military. The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.

Hillary Clinton on Trump's increasing unhinged posts: "I read those like I think I hope the majority of Americans -- both shaking my head, and really just feeling sick at heart that we have a president who is such a disgrace."

Guy Fieri was hamming it up with Andrew and Tristan Tate at UFC last night? He can get bent too.

Brian has that Monday vibe.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Very true...

Hey, s’up? #catboxsunday

Bertrand Waucquez is mayor of Kraainem🇧🇪 He is 65 and works 60 hours a week. Despite his demanding schedule, Bertrand learned Ukrainian from scratch, so he could not only communicate with refugees, but help preserve a culture that russia is trying to destroy🧵

These guys are obviously follicularly challenged, but occasionally they'll grow a single normal-length whisker. Behold:

Cozied up, rainy #caturday

Brian tests surfaces with white gloves after a deep cleaning of the kitchen.

Brian Uno totally sacked out in my arms last night. 😻

No, kitty. Do not put yourself in peril. (Punishment for this transgression: farty kisses on his tummy)

A couple of cutie pies.

My king. Florence nearly died from an ectopic pregnancy on her last tour, so I’m glad but not surprised to see her partnering with Planned Parenthood on the American leg of her current tour.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The day a squirrel got too close to the window and scared Clootie with its fearsome munching.

Squirrel mode

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

This is not foreign policy, it’s a deranged mad man threatening to wipe out an entire country. It's past time. The 25th Amendment must be invoked.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

So nobody has a problem with the orange lunatic killing 90 million people

The toy. You will give it to me.

We need some cuteness on a day like today.

With the arrival of spring, we find ourselves outside more.

Literal sunbathing.

How republicans in Congress can ignore this is beyond me. He needs to be removed immediately. @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social let’s see impeachment articles. Now.

Reminder: Trump said his decision to launch the Iran war was shaped by conversations with Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio. Not one active military commander. Not one. Expect more of this, since Hegseth is firing the people who actually know better, the generals.

@nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com will be doing their best to keep Trump in power until he lines them all up against the wall.

Spicy #catboxsunday

The sink made a Noise.

Two-Clootie #caturday

Stopping playtime to do a bump of catnip toy off his hand.
