It's painfully obvious to me that a whole lot of people who are telling us the elections can't be interfered with are totally clueless concerning what has been done in several important states that will allow them to do just that.

Following yesterday’s painting of a Chiffchaff, here’s a Chaffinch (male). They’re part of my expressive birds collection :) #watercolours #birdart 🪶

Seems to be the pattern…

Massie goes full beast mode today. Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.

Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫

Why does trump and the Republi-Cons always hold rallies pushing their agenda and ginning up their base while the Democrats do basically nothing in return? And then they wonder why their message isn't getting through to the people.

This a juvenile Cooper's Hawk watching one of the parents eating a chickadee. It basically ignored me. I took a few shots then left. Taken near the Dungeness Spit, Olympic Peninsula. The falconers call a bird ready to kill "yarak". So I call this one the same.

Classless.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

On Jan. 7, a European Robin was spotted in Montreal. The bird was authenticated by the Cornell Ornithology Lab. No one knows how he could have crossed the Atlantic.🌻🙂

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

@adventurer56.bsky.social Thank you for including me! 💙💪 go.bsky.app/J6hQaUS

See. Good ideas like that solve problems. I like it.

Jimmy Kimmel should invite Talerico and Colbert on his show so they can have a nice chat.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

We're no longer a functioning democracy. Don't expect a democratic election.

This is why we must #ImpeachThemAll

“It doesn’t exactly scream ‘a functioning GOP trifecta,’” said one House Republican granted anonymity to speak candidly.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are poised to deliver clashing visions of U.S. global leadership at the Munich Security Conference as European leaders recoil at America’s populist politics.

This ad should concern Susan Collins.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

A+++ post

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Birds&Bugs and the alt theme is #EverydayBirds so I reckon this one ticks both boxes. A Great tit offering evidence that they are mainly insectivorous in summer. #birds #photography

Green Woodpecker Often seen foraging on the ground, breaking into anthills or feeding on other insects. This one was taking advantage of the freshly unfrozen banks of the Morava River today. #photography #birds

I’ve read a lot of Irving novels but haven’t watched any of the movies. Checking out one of my favorites tonight: The World According to Garp.

Decades of bipartisan policy, including financial deregulation, endless war, bank bailouts, surveillance expansion, and attacks on labor, are evidence that both parties serve the interests of capital rather than the population.

Continuing with my American birds series, this is a painting of an Eastern Bluebird I painted, such pretty birds! #watercolours #birdart 🪶

"Because NGA's mission is to represent all 55 governors, the Association is no longer serving as the facilitator for that event, and it is no longer included in our official program," Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican who chairs the NGA, wrote in the letter, The Associated Press reported.

in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)

MS NOW: "A congressional official with knowledge of the matter is telling MS NOW the cause of the shutdown of El Paso airspace is a lack of communication between the Pentagon and FAA. The official told us the FAA and DOD are 'not in clear communications with each other.'"

@deadder.bsky.social has so many great cartoons:
