My Great Pyrenees mix (both grandfathers Great Pyrenees and mother was half Maremma/great pyr & father Lab/great pyr is a 143 pound fierce dog. He doesn’t guard the food bowl & lets certain pack dogs eat, but he guards chicken getting shared with other pack friends. He eats first.

Bear, 143 pound great-pyr & lab mix, allows his old friend, an 18 year old black and tan dachshund, named Gunther to eat before he licks bowl even cleaner.

Bear enjoying a spring day on our lawn is yawning.

Why did the thieves get away so easily?

Because it's a Louvre, not a fighter.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

one of the consistently interesting things about ACA criticism since it was signed into law is how critics discount or ignore the medicaid expansion

The turnout at No Kings rallies across Illinois’ Ninth District and the country gave me hope for the future of our democracy.

Stay tuned for more clips from my conversations with voters!

Rather than debate whether Prince Andrew loses his title, I’d prefer him taken to a police station, interviewed under caution and - if the investigating officers believe they have sufficient evidence - charged and prosecuted. If a jury later finds him guilty like any citizen he should then be jailed

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

From Politico: ““The president uses social media to make the point. You can argue he’s probably the most effective person who’s ever used social media for that,” Johnson said at a news conference Monday.”

Ask Trump to define satire. 🤨He is a 12-year-old in an octogenarian body.

Incredibly telling that many thousands of the accounts "liking" the US department accounts tweets are newly created and only interact with US government accounts. Truly a Very Online admin.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000
