NORAD dispatched a surveillance plane and fighter jets this week to intercept four Russian aircraft in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone, the command announced Thursday. The Russian aircraft stayed in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace.

And an absolutely stunning female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail today for #InsectThursday. She is enormous, with an estimated wingspan of at least 5.5 inches. She is making a clear statement that #SwallowtailSeason is still kicking. #Photography99 📷🌱 #Butterflies 🦋

34-felon is in those files as (at least) a participant. He knows it, Bondi knows it & we know it. He's in those files to the point that there isn't enough blackout ink at DOJ to cover up his name. Sleep well, Donny.... sleep well.

BUT MAH HISTORY

Former prosecutor here: The Indictment of James Comey is the unethical and unprecedented act of a corrupt, unqualified, and immoral stooge doing the bidding of an authoritarian criminal. Period. Any discussion suggesting there’s “more to this” or “let’s wait and see” is complicity and surrender.

How's that "lower costs" campaign promise coming? Oh, you thought that was for you??? 😂😂😂

I suspect few of us have had to hire a lawyer recently because 34-felon demands personal servitude we refuse to provide. If he can stand up, we can too.

If Republicans force a shutdown, this is one of the reasons. Cruelty is the point. They want to take away your healthcare! azmirror.com/2025/09/24/r...

#Arizona - Covid Vaccines - resource links to find/schedule vaccines at CVS & Walgreens are at the end of this article⬇️ azmirror.com/briefs/arizo...

This is just a preview of the #ProjectBlue2026. There is *nothing* voters reject more than a lying 34-felon authoritarian and the lying Republicans that support/keep him in the White House. Nothing! #Arizona azmirror.com/2025/09/24/a...

I may buy a new Windows Computer... "Microsoft has terminated the Israeli military’s access to technology it used to operate a powerful surveillance system that collected millions of Palestinian civilian phone calls made each day in Gaza and the West Bank.." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

The move appears targeted at left-leaning progressive nonprofit groups, which Trump days ago vowed to dismantle, falsely claiming they fund and support political violence and terrorism in the U.S. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Microsoft has disabled the Israeli Defense Ministry’s access to certain services and subscriptions, after finding evidence that the ministry used the tech company’s cloud services to surveil Gaza citizens. Full Story: on.wsj.com/4nUgwjE

“This deport-and-replace strategy would be bad for all workers, including even U.S. citizens whose jobs and wages are undercut by the uncapped H-2A visa program.” www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

What do we do when SCOTUS doesn't follow the law or protect the Constitution? We have choices but no matter what, first we have to put Democrats in office. Then choices are: * expand the Court (it's past time!) * impeach justices that have broken the law (it's important!) * both (it's up to us!)

#Michigan - 🥳 Remember: Pushing back works! We must support those that do that work. Ty @marcelias.bsky.social & @democracydocket.com team. You do good work! cc @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @briantylercohen.bsky.social

That entire press briefing avoided the real problem... when ICE stops acting like a goon squad and 34-felon stops demonizing/spreading hate, maybe we'd have fewer acts of violence & gun deaths; at schools, public buildings, public gatherings. They just don't get it!

#Arizona has refused & with Hobbs & @azagmayes.bsky.social, I don't see them getting anywhere here. I can't see this current step being anything but a PR stunt or maybe a road to SCOTUS? www.kjzz.org/politics/202...

"AI-Slop" should be the next short on @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social &/or @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social

I can see the "presumption of regularity" fizzling out as we speak.... It took way too long and hasn't reached high enough yet but there's certainly hope.

Would you hire 34-felon and his minions? Well, I sure wouldn't! It's interesting that so many federal employees were actually doing jobs that we needed, right? The people who wrote #Project2025 didn't know a d*** thing about what it takes! www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

Republicans won't win, now or later. They are already doing mass firings so what's new? "Jeffries, on X, wrote: "Listen Russ, you are a malignant political hack. We will not be intimidated by your threat to engage in mass firings. Get lost." www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

"There can be no higher law in journalism than to tell the truth & to shame the devil." Walter Lippman

Ok, now that the dust has settled, I respectfully recommend rewatching this at least once a month until 34-felon & his minions are fumigated out of the WH. youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY

Fox not-news times.... (the rest of us are still sane because we recognize this for what it is)

Remember when happy, scientifically sound announcements like this happened in the United States? Before ignorant, irresponsible kooks like RFK, Jr. and Donald Trump were running/funding things. www.bbc.com/news/article...

No matter what's going on down here, it pays to look up.

Jimmy Kimmel should send Donald Trump a fruit basket as thanks for giving him his highest ever ratings, especially after Donald mocked his ratings. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

“The combination of the FCC pressuring Disney over free speech they didn’t like combined with their parent company and affiliates bowing to the pressure left an intolerable taste in people’s mouths,” @marisakabas.bsky.social writes, “and also reminded them that they can vote with their wallets.”

It says a lot about the inability of @nytimes.com to face the current administration without abdicating in advance. Smooth the edges/obfuscate the facts to avoid being a target. Lessons from grade school; a bully is never satisfied with just taking your lunch money.

When creativity meets reality.... 🥳🏆🥳

Wall Street Journal adds to the reporting: "The president ousted the U.S. attorney he had appointed ... Erik Siebert, who told colleagues he didn’t see a case to bring against Comey." "Other department officials have also privately expressed doubts that there is enough evidence" for indictment.

One part of the Ezra Klein/Argument/Searchlight/Abundance Bro argument (do we need an acronym for this) is "Dems have to be conservative because they need the votes of Republicans in swing states to win." Actually, nope:

Kenvue don't play!

In other words, dipshit JD, he didn't hit any ICE members. He killed/wounded 3 *detainees*. What does that tell you about his targets and who he's been listening to?

Thank you! Finally, I can brag to my kids that I'm a 38yr old nerd. (Micah told me, so it must be true!)

🥳 - when you push back!

Oh, #Canada.... 😯

#Oklahoma - you deserve better!

I’m really puzzled by how credulous journalists or sub-editors or editors are about this stuff right now. Journalists are supposed to be suspicious, critical and only report variable facts. Perfectly fine to report what they *said* their motivation was, but attributing it is *highly* speculative.

(Mediaite) - Multiple Department of Justice employees “may have violated” Luigi Mangione’s right to a fair trial through public comments and social media posts, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday .. @mediaite.com $UNH www.mediaite.com/crime/luigi-...

That is the objective of 34-felon & Republicans... If there's a shutdown, they will end courts & try to end elections. #RememberTheirNames

WHATEVER could have caused this??? It's a MYSTERY.

more of this please more more more

Have they figured out yet that they fired the people that maintains public buildings? "fatal funnel thinking"?

Bunny!

Pete Hegseth’s new grooming policy practically guarantees an unfathomable wave of terminations, with Black service members likely to face the brunt. Does the secretary know who mainly benefits from the waivers? There’s almost no way he doesn’t.
