Will we see you tomorrow at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social? Patrick will be signing copies of his books at 2:30 p.m. at the Hachette booth! Be sure to stop by and say hello. Yesh!

A Note From Patrick: Remembering Jane Goodall Patrick McDonnell shares a moving tribute to Dr. Jane Goodall, reflecting on their friendship, Me…Jane, and her legacy of hope and compassion.

In this heartfelt letter, Patrick McDonnell reflects on his friendship with Dr. Jane Goodall, which began with a simple MUTTS comic strip featuring his "animal activist" character Shtinky Puddin’. ❤️

We were heartbroken to learn of Dr. Jane Goodall's passing. She changed the way we understand animals and has inspired millions, including each of us on Team MUTTS.

Thank you, Jane, for being a bright light, an incredible role model, and the embodiment of humanity's connection to the natural world.

Soooooo.... now the effed up government is airing commercials during MNF here in Chicago trying to lure Chicago cops into leaving the force and joining ICE and getting 50k and student loan forgiveness in return (to start). Just wow.

Did you know? Fostering can exponentially increase a pet's chance of being adopted. Outside of the shelter, pets can decompress, let their true personality shine, and improve their social skills! Not only that, it can clear a space in the shelter for another pet in need of being rescued.

Take a little time this week to pause, take in the world around you, and do a little stargazing. 🌟

I honestly would have to check off every one of those horse entries! Every one of them is HOF-worthy 🏇💕

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Dear world, please do not judge us harshly. Most of us are good-caring people, and we hate him too.

Pass it on.

Hero. 🇺🇦

Wonder what that Sovereign Slush Fund is up to.

I don't want a $5K "DOGE dividend" funded by our tax dollars stolen away from USAID, the EPA, and all of the other places Elmo shouldn't have had even close to remote access to.

Images of Presidents Washington, Obama, Carter, Clinton, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Biden, and Johnson with text, "Thank you all for caring about our country." with an image of Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the text "NOT YOU" overlaid.

Happy Presidents Day

At this point I wouldn't care if Illinois cedes from the union. We can self-fund off of our pot profits. Happy ❤️ Day, all!

CISA Puts Election Staff on Administrative Leave Read more here.

The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. — especially at the state level, where local election officials rely on CISA resources to securely run elections — at risk. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.”

Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

Treasury officials: Musk ally ‘mistakenly’ given power to alter payments system The incident prompted an internal forensic investigation that remains ongoing.

Treasury Department officials admitted today that the agency “mistakenly” and “briefly” gave a member of Musk’s DOGE team the power to alter a sensitive federal payments database. The disclosure undercuts the Trump administration’s repeated claims that access was limited to a “read-only” basis.

I’m so pleased to welcome the Aspen Ideas: Climate Conference to Chicago.

Our state is a proud leader in the Midwest in fighting climate change, and Chicago is the perfect place to host such an important gathering.

JUST IN:

Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status.

At least my Gov has a sense of humor...

With all of the chaos of the last 3 weeks, this has been the one thing that has made me feel safe. Love my Gov.!

The author of Project 2025 folks. And not one Republican voted against him.

Thanks for sharing them 💕

Somebody needs this right now 🥹

I want all of my federal taxes and social security deductions back. I don't like where this is going and I no longer wish to participate.
