It's just me... nothing special... human, just like everyone else. I like books and little things and kittens and my dog and like 5 or so people.
Can someone show me what part of the Biden economy had/has the MAGAts with their panties in a bunch and feel like this current path is better? I feel like I've missed some important memo. 🤔

These might be the best words I have heard in a resignation... ever: 💙

"But any assistant U.S. attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way.

In all honesty the anxiety as a nation is unbelievable. Waiting for an apocalypse of a very possible refusal of one or more of the court orders, will create a chain of events that almost certainly will not be pleasant for many Americans.
Be good to yourself!
Stay safe!
But don't quit 👊🏼

This is a flat-out, clear-cut violation of the First Amendment.
Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/
Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad?

We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

Inexperienced Puppy Bowl Team Still Hasn’t Opened Eyes Yet
NEW YORK—Noting that their youth would likely be a major factor in determining the outcome of Puppy Bowl XV, analysts noted Sunday that the inexperienced players on Team Ruff still hadn’t opened their eyes yet. “It’s hard to see how Team Ruff is going to be able to compete with Team Fluff given that its puppies lack experience seeing or hearing since their eyes and ears are still sealed,” said play-by-play announcer Scott Graham, adding that the puppies on Team Ruff were at a further disadvantage because they’d only had a few days since their birth to prepare for the game. “It’s difficult to win a football game when you’re incapable of standing or walking yet. Most of these little pups can barely lift their heads. Sure, they’re young and they’re hungry, but Team Fluff has a definite advantage in having dogs with a full command of their mobility and senses. But even if they don’t win the championship, this game is going to offer the puppies on Team Ruff some valuable experience in trying to urinate or defecate on their own.” At press time, the outlook for the inexperienced Team Ruff had decreased even further after the newborn puppies’ mother ate most of the litter at halftime.

Went and watched The Brutalist tonight. 3.5 hours of @adrianbrody.bsky.social doing that brilliant, mesmeric, ineffable thing he does on screen. Worth every moment (including the intermission). I'm so glad I took the time from my otherwise chaotic and busy life to sit and marvel at this epic film.

Truth is, he wasn't worried about Fentanyl when he killed the Bipartisan Border Bill last year. It included provisions to stop the flow of Fentanyl
