Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

So now the strait is open all of the fossil fuel subsidies, fossil tax cuts and weakening of environmental regulations wil be set back to normal, right?

I guess not. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Rufous-backed Kingfisher (Ceyx rufidorsa): This species of bird is found in Brunei, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand in tropical lowland forests near lakeshores and stream-sides.

A Pound of Ground Beef Now Costs More Than the Federal Minimum Wage. The cost of a pound of ground beef has hit a major threshold. Depending on where you shop, the grocery staple likely costs more than the federal minimum wage #TrumpEconomics

A 1974 law written specifically because Nixon destroyed records. Passed because Congress said "never again." Erased by MEMO. Not a court. Not a vote. A memo. That's the whole story. #resist

The Army Chief of Staff, a combat veteran with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, asked Pete Hegseth why he was blocking the promotions of two Black officers and two female officers who had earned them. Hegseth refused to answer. Then he fired him.

First they came for the trans folk. And I applauded, because I was a transphobe. Then they came for the lesbians and bisexuals. And I applauded, because I was a homophobe. Then they came for anyone who wasn't white. And I applauded, because I was a racist. IOC: Shame on you!

It’s a cult.

At some point maybe Congress will be able to do oversight on this admin after we vote out these useless Republican committee chairmen’s majorities.

When Trump couldn’t get Congress to pass the SAVE Act to federalize elections, he just ignored Congress and signed an executive order. Again. And now we are back to the courts with more lawsuits. Again. Non-stop chaos is his brand.

Kristi Noem rigging the property appraiser’s exam while governor so her daughter could get her license, killing a puppy, and giving her boyfriend a powerful job in govt while cheating on her cross-dressing spouse is not that unusual on the spectrum of Republican politician behavior.

134 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 134 years the problem has only gotten worse.

This is all too real. These days, satire is just news but in teaser format.

SMOKEY: Only YOU can prevent FASCIST LIARS!

No Kings is worth attending for the entertaining signs.

I’m a values voter. No kid raping, no bribe taking, due process, rule of law, no immunity based on the title of your office.

The bed areas of these two trucks are roughly the same, but the one on the right will kill more children.

As the SAVE America Act faces a likely defeat, anti-voting activists are pushing misleading claims in a last-ditch effort to build support. But their online rhetoric doesn’t match reality. We break down what they’re saying — and what the bill would actually do if passed.

Don't believe or report as true *anything* coming from Donald J. Trump. He is a liar.

There are too many means of payment nowadays and my means of making money can hardly catch up.

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

RICHARD OSBURN: You know, he pleaded the people, the people, the people, make America great again.. We're tearing America apart right now... RICH BONTRAGER: I'm really scratching my head because I voted Repub, most of us in the fishing industry did, and we're not seeing the positives come out of it.

I've got an even better idea. How about if the Pentagon took one less trip to the Middle East? thehill.com/homenews/sta...

Having a traitor who is president sucks for US citizens.

It feels pretty intentional and homophobic that the Gay of Hormuz has been totally ignored.

There are more members of the Duggar family who have been accused of molesting children (2) than there are trans women who have medaled at the Olympics (zero).

With control of the House, Senate, and White House, there is only one reason they have been historically unproductive: they don’t give a damn about helping the American people. In the coming midterms, voters should discard the GOP at every opportunity. www.mediaite.com/politics/con...

If the GOP were interested in passing bills to actually help people, it would become pretty easy to get seven democratic Senators to support those bills. That’s all they need to pass anything they want. But they are a party of grievances, not governance.

Second, the GOP elevated dog shooter Kristi Noem and serial animal abuser RFK Jr. One of Trump’s favorite insults is that someone “died like a dog.” Pretending they are somehow the party of animal rights is laughable.

First, Speaker Johnson is of course lying. Attacking a police animal is almost always a felony already. Choosing not to pass an auto-deport bill doesn’t equate to giving immigrants or anyone the “right to physically abuse American service dogs.”

Republicans could be using their majorities to pass meaningful legislation that helps the Americans to whom their campaigns pay lip service. They are choosing instead to do bullshit messaging from their seat of power. The “BOWOW Act” is a prime example. (Thread)

Still think it’s weird that 2050 is now closer than 2000

Day 75 of 2026 is Monday 16th March.

$27 billion. That’s what Operation Epic Fury has cost so far, burning at $21,797 per second. That same money could house 772K homeless vets. Erase 730K student loans. Congress never voted for this war. The majority of Americans oppose it. And the meter is still running.

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

Last nights sunset from Wyoming.

Human intestines add up to an incredible distance. 🧬 One adult’s intestines are about 25 feet (≈7.5 meters) long. Multiply that by 8 billion people, and humanity has roughly 60 million kilometers of intestines. That’s enough to wrap around Earth about 1,500 times. 🌍

Challenge for those who are very confident that Claude isn't conscious: Explain how human consciousness works.

Trump officials accused 181 U.S. citizens of assaulting federal officers, posting names, photos, etc., on X to maximize harassment. None have been convicted at trial. (WSJ gift link) www.wsj.com/us-news/immi...

I like this cartoon so much we paid the New Yorker the fee it requested to include it in my book. We’ve not even had the vote 100 years. Let’s not let thing backslide. Happy International Women’s Day, one and all.
