“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

This is amazing. Every time I think I’m done crying someone does something kind like this and I’m in tears again. A weird mixture of happiness and gratitude and just missing him so bad.

He looked so regal in that pic, I had to draw him! Hope that's OK. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. He looks a beautiful boy who probably purred really loud 🌸☘👑

A digital illustration of an incredibly fluffy cat, drawn in a watercolour-and-ink style. The colours are pastel with lots of yellow, aqua, and cool pink. The cat sits facing us, his bushy white chest contrasting with brown tabby colouring, giving the air of a wise white-bearded king. He has white paws and a white blaze on his face that covers his cheeks and nose. His long, bushy tail curves behind him, adding drama to the seated pose. A gold crown with red gems floats above his head like a halo, sending off radiant lines in the background. He sits on a fluffy white cloud. Around the image is a stylised frame, decorated with red clover (state flower of Vermont) and in the centre, the subject's name: FERGUS.

They cut $150b and are returning $50b and he's bragging about that? What a dope.

She really does. Immediately following her "loss" she relaxed her look and her style and it was so much more appealing than the Iron Lady hair. We missed out on a great president bc = misogyny

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

They think post-birth abortions are real too. And that schools are operating on their children to change their genders. And that immigrants are eating cats and dogs. And that Trump was chosen by God.

They are the most credulous morons in history.

@jaketapper.bsky.social where you at 😐

They're not even trying to hide how decrepit and disoriented this codger is. Where's your outrage? Or are you still trying to find fault with Joe?
