The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

Release the Epstein files.
Release the Jan. 6 documents.
Lock up the war criminals.
Abolish the ICE Gestapo.
Lock up the felon.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

I am pleased to announce another no-talent year!

TL;DR: A huge, long-haired Maine Coon cat sits front-and-center, staring directly at the camera with an intense, lion-like expression and massive fluffy paws. Details: A very large, long-haired Maine Coon cat sits facing the camera, occupying most of the frame. His fur is thick and dramatic, with a full, cascading mane around his neck and chest that gives him a regal, almost mythic presence. His coat is a mix of silvery gray, charcoal, and soft white, with darker tabby markings along his face and shoulders. His ears are tall and tufted at the tips, angled outward like a lynx. He’s looking directly at the viewer with narrowed, golden-brown eyes and a serious, almost judgmental expression, mouth slightly parted as if mid-grunt or mid-meow. His front legs are huge and heavily furred, with big tufted paws resting squarely in front of him. He’s positioned indoors in a living space. Behind him are warm wooden cabinets, an oven, a floor-to-ceiling cat tower, and a hallway lit by a bright lamp that casts a soft glow around one side of his head. The overall lighting is moody and low, which makes his silvery fur stand out sharply against the darker background. The vibe is “majestic house panther who owns the lease, the deed, and the WiFi password.”

Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits Contact Congress today!

While Mike Johnson is running around trying to act like he’s not the most incompetent Speaker in US history, we’re pushing hard to extend the ACA tax credits for millions of Americans.

We’re almost there, and you can help!

The affordability crisis is not a hoax.

And the American people know it.

Release the Epstein files.
Lock up war criminals.

A bay on Crete in Greece with inviting aqua sea. Small hills and mountains jet along the coast which is green with trees. God is shining a spotlight through the middle of the picture as if to say, “you are small and inconsequential, even if you think your shit don’t smell.”

Most people think when the world gets itself together, we'll all be okay. I don't see that situation arriving. I think one by one, we all free ourselves from the chains we have chained ourselves to. - George Harrison

Street lights look very yellow in a foggy morning along the canal with for Dutch standards relatively high houses

Good morning from Haarlem.

Every dot on this map is a New Yorker who chipped in for the Transition to make sure we can hit the ground running on Day 1.

$3 million raised from all five boroughs. $1 million to go.
Thank you for powering this transition. Let's cross that finish line together.

Does anybody else feel the same way?

NEW: GRAND JURY REFUSES TO RE-INDICT LETITIA JAMES per @nicollewallace.bsky.social on Deadline White House. HAHAHAHA

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

…and yes, I was part of the Epstein crowd.🔻

🔥 AL GORE: “We already have way too many subservient cowards in Congress, the last thing we need is to send another one (Van Epps 🤖) — you can make tomorrow the turning point for our country by getting out and voting for Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social .” #TN7

The Epstein files should have already been released.

Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits Contact Congress today!

Loser Mike Johnson is pissed that we’re gaining ground in forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits.

So let’s get even louder:

I can make biscuits & look you in the eye at the same time. Nite beautiful babies. Hugs 💤💙💤

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

My cartoon in this weeks @newyorker.com

TODAY IS THE DAY!

GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM

WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.
