Happy World Octopus Day to all who celebrate. And who doesn't?!

So, I suppose this brave officer has made a "career-limiting move" or career-ending? I hope others will stand up like he did.

🚨 This is protecting the American people. “Full force” is not defined by the military. More of this!

Will this disturbing news ever make it to the Trump voters in those 10 red states?
Doubtful.
And if it does, will it make a difference in their support for Trump?
Also doubtful.

If you live in a red state, you’re getting screwed the hardest by Trump and Republicans.

📌 The top 10 states facing the highest projected premium increases are all Republican led.

Interesting. I have all that PLUS God.

I'm very happy to see the Roman Catholic Church join other faith groups in decrying the abuses of the Trump regime.

No. Worm.

Not to mention all the books they're carrying around in their backpacks. We all know how dangerous books can be.

Sounds like the rich take away from taxpayers and then blame immigrants.

Google her. She was my mother-in-law. She died in 2020, but her work is in museums and private collections. It's quite stunning.

Bondi asks Schiff, "Do you have a law degree?"
He didn't answer her, so I will.
Yes, Ms. Bondi, Schiff has a law degree from Harvard, while your law degree is from a second-rate law school.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

In addition to being a creep, he's also stupid.

What a shame. Beto might have had a shot otherwise.
BTW: I see you're an art quilter. Ever heard of Joy Saville?

I had a feeling that was too good to be true.

Steve White @stevewhite.bsky.social · 1d

Huge if true.

I spent a day with Tutu and a group of Episcopal clergy in NJ 20 years ago. I remember two things he said:

"God has all of eternity to make you into the person you were meant to be."

"We'll all get to heaven; God has very low standards." After he said this, he giggled and did a little dance.

🚨 Rep. Jim McGovern attempted to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Rep Elect AZ-07, but they would NOT recognize him in the House. He has a candid reason as to why he thinks this happened. 1/2

Dunno why, but when I got to the end of that Bill Kristol quote, the first thing that popped into my head was Ides of March.
