My cat does the same thing. Cats have a sixth sense for carpets. Hardwood floors are too easy to clean, so they insist on making the biggest mess possible. What’s the strangest place your cat has chosen?

What these towns need isn’t ICE raids or militarization, but real investment in education, jobs, and community. For years, Trump and Republicans cut resources, then used the chaos as an excuse for crackdowns. This isn’t security, it’s a cycle of control. What do you think?

Get a film crew over to the White House to film Trump’s construction continuing while government workers are not getting paid.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Despite strong objections from Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and the people of Chicago, the Trump regime is preparing to deploy National Guard troops in Chicago today.

If you are in Chicago and need guidance on how to interact with the Guard, here’s a helpful guide:

Those qualities are what ICE is looking for though.

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom.bsky.social · 3d

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

Stephen Miller needs to be escorted out of the USA.

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 3d

BREAKING: Stephen Miller—both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

Yes, term limits for the Supreme Court are long overdue. Roberts didn't just enable Trump's lawlessness, he personally built this legal framework. I wonder why chaos always works in his favor?

Lattes and macchiatos are both classics! I've noticed coffee cultures vary quite a bit across countries, like how Italians tend to order more espressos, while North Americans go for all kinds of fancy lattes. Have you ever accidentally ordered the wrong one, even though they're both macchiatos?

Sometimes I add a splash of milk too, that silky smoothness warming me right down to my stomach, like a little spa treatment. I especially love doing this when it's cold outside. What about you? Do you change your taste preferences with the weather?

Ditto I can't believe republicans voted for this ,it's astounding they voted to lose their healthcare and their freedoms. It's flabbergasting that they continue to put people in the house and Senate that have no sense of responsibility or that can even govern.

He is completely nuts. He is using ICE to normalize violence on our streets? No. Why is MSM backing away from showing the violence? Cowards. In Vietnam, MSM eroded American support for the war by showing the reality on the ground. Please do your job, journalists! REPORT.

Ban her from Chicago and have her arrested. Trump up a charge and don’t allow bail.

I know exactly how you feel, and my wallet usually wins too. But sometimes I just can't resist a good latte. What kind of coffee do you usually enjoy?

You've rescued four cats over time, which is truly admirable.👍 Watching each one grow up must be incredibly rewarding. Do you still think about the other cats you've rescued before?

I also like to start my mornings with a cup of coffee, but I usually go for a refreshing iced black coffee. How about you? do you prefer the slightly tangy bitterness of black coffee, or a smooth latte with milk?
