Amid growing policy disputes, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said the GOP has abandoned issues like stopping foreign aid, using the Department of Government Efficiency to cut waste, and opposing Israel's Gaza war, which she called a genocide.

I’ve read this over several times and am super confused. Are you telling me that MTG cares about stopping the bombing of Gaza? She actually calls it a genocide? Down is up and up is down.

No. It perked back up, so we released it outside, kept the cat trapped inside for another 20 minutes, then we left. Hope we didn’t set it up for failure. 😣

Oh god oh god oh god. He just walked up to us with a live baby rabbit.
-To your house???
Can u call?
-In forest very little reception
Ok. We're in your house with a live rabbit.
-Fuck
-I'm so sorry
Haha. It's ok. We're handling it.
We came over together to see Poe. And Poe greeted us. Then a minute or two later, he walked up to me with a live baby rabbit in his mouth.
And I screamed, and he ran into loan's room and under the bed, and I pulled his tail to get him out from under the bed, and he dropped the rabbit. Ck caught the rabbit. Anyway, we're now here, and I have the cat portal blocked atm so Poe doesn't go and get the baby rabbit again.

I’m grateful that my husband and my father knew each other for 6 years before my Dad died. And I’m grateful they appreciated each other. #blueskyartshow #gratitude #photography

Setting aside the pure evil of complicity in genocide for a moment, the dismantling of a public broadcasting system which has been a rare force for good in the USA surely ranks as one of the lowest lows of this despicable, hate-filled regime.

A hard rain is gonna fall.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced today that it will begin phasing out its operations, following Congress’s recent decision to revoke previously allocated federal funding. CPB said it is initiating an β€œorderly wind-down” after nearly six decades.

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

Watching a Variety video where Javier Bardem & Diego Luna are interviewing each other. Diego Luna did his own overdub for Andor in Latin America, but they wouldn't let him do it for the Spanish market (wrong accent). Said the character felt completely different in his native tongue. #andor

This is incredibly important. I love hearing anti-Zionist Jews' perspectives. Can’t imagine how hard it is to be an anti-Zionist Jew now. I’ve lost Jewish friends for supporting Palestinian freedom, but many anti-Zionist Jews have lost countless friends over this. πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

The satellites are in service, and will remain in service with all their capabilities. What DoD is doing is ending the availability of their data to NOAA meteorologists, severing the data feed!

This is not a cost-cutting measure. It's a political decision by anti-environment Trump appointees.

Navy Set to Unplug Critical Hurricane Satellites this Week Abrupt termination of satellite data by U.S. Department of Defense sends forecasters scrambling for a fix on the brink of the busiest stretch of the hurricane season

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️
