They’ll do that.
I weigh the cats every Friday and Marcel was heavier than Francie for the first time tonight! And he still has a few months of growing to do. My tiny morsel is growing into a large dollop.

Seconded.
Every day of the last 40years of GOP getting elected for anything…

You can block bills, Senator. Do it.
If the House sends the Energy Dept Appropriations bill to the Senate this week, I will file an amendment to stop the Administration's insane plan to take Venezuela's oil at gunpoint into order to nation build. It would be a massive mistake that only the oil companies would love.

This is a classic, “Change My Mind” topic. This take is entirely, and easily, defensible. The parallels are staggering.
Republicans are Nazis. It’s a mirror. It’s the same thing.

Republican officials are Nazi officials. Republican leaders are Nazi leaders. Republican propagandists are Nazi propagandists. Republican party members are Nazi party members.

Republicans are Nazis.

I don’t think a strongly, worded letter is going to do the trick
Stop talking
Stop writing letter letters
Do something while we still have a democracy

Likewise, and thank you!

The crimes have to be a part of the President's official duties. Why no one seems to be pursuing this in court is nuts. Stealing tankers, bombing countries without congressional approval, etc. etc. are NOT part of a President's official duties. Hello?
We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

And blowing up boats. And stealing tankers.
‼️So abducting (aka kidnapping) the president of a country is not an act of war against that country?

Rubio says there's 'not a war against Venezuela' despite U.S. capture of Maduro.

But don’t gives flying rat’s ass about the people US Troops kill. It was the same w/ Viet Nam, Iraq, et al.
First in @semafor.com: NYT, WaPo learned of the secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin but held off publishing what they had at the administration's request to avoid endangering US troops www.semafor.com/article/01/0...
News organizations held off on reporting Venezuela raid
The American news organizations held their stories over concerns about endangering US troops.

More talk, no action. You can make all the TV appearances you want. Continue to tell us what we already know. Trump still does whatever he wants. This is why over 80 million Americans don’t bother voting.
On my way into the studio. A critical moment for American foreign policy and the U.S. Constitution.

Very true.
Agree. But we need more wolves, too. Wolves prefer eating deer, and each can consume ~20 in a year.

They both need more doe.

Dude, you are so behind the times. He uses a TelePrompter.
Whenever I think about Trump taking a cognitive test I picture his caddy standing next to him whispering "giraffe" under a fake cough.

AND he weighs 180 lbs., won two WFC bouts and 5 golf tournamnts over the holidays.
Test results summary: He crayoned mostly inside the lines and was able to tell the difference between Stephen Miller and a hyena (on the third try).

Too True.
i was just thinking about this. when a fascist squeaks by, it’s a mandate. when a progressive wins by a landslide, he needs to be deferential. it’s such bullshit.
as a texan i'll spare people zohran takes but one thing i think we're going to see even more of now that he's mayor is mainstream media shift the goal posts of what having a mandate is. trump had a mandate when he narrowly won but zohran has to reach out to all these factions no matter what

Good to see you’re Cop-landing.
First poast of 2026: the “boop boop boop” sound my washing machine makes when I turn it on reminds me of the opening 3 notes of “Fanfare for the Common Man” and I inevitably get that piece stuck in my head when doing my laundry.

It's been this way since the Iraq invasion. Before that, actually. Where have you been?
