I wander Wonder Parkway with a tiny camera in hand.
And I reblog lot's of shit that I like.
Which seems to overwhelm when I share my pics.

So, I said slowly, my plan was to hang out on social media and enjoy myself.
Pose pretty and gaze upon the world.
And then, suddenly, it all happened....

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.

Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

Sen Alex Padilla (D) has included an explicit ban on using fed law enforcement and the military to patrol polls in the DHS funding bill due 2/14.
Earlier Sen Slotkin asked ICE Todd Lyons whether ICE has the authority to police polls.
“There’s no reason for us to deploy to a polling facility."

New in PN: We are all passengers in Trump’s death cab

"Trump’s adulation of Putin could hardly offer a starker warning of just how far he's willing to go, & how much more damage he may be willing to impose, to maintain his grip on power, particularly if — as seems likely — that grip begins to flag"
We are all passengers in Trump’s death cab

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Tom Homan announces success in "removing public safety risk". ICE is not law enforcement.
In a way, he is correct. Removing untrained LARPers with anger issues did remove a public safety risk.

This is all due to the incredible resistance of the people of Minnesota.

Their resilience - and their determination - helped enforce the Constitution in a way that political elites in Congress and the courts did not or could not.

I have never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.
Homan in Minnesota: "I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue."

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

It passed today.

Time to focus on the Senate
Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

Party balloon sighted, call Hegseth!!!
So the DOD started laser testing because they believed party balloons were drones, shut down all of El Paso airspace, and blamed it on Mexican cartels?

Ah. They're just in "buying extension cords" stage.
And, uh, the "wiring breaker boxes" stage.
With, of course, the "building a wall for the breaker box" stage.

The DOJ is still obstructing justice, and the MSM is still failing to do its job. They should be demanding that Pedo Protector and clearly deranged DonOld tRump resign his office.
