I bet his last word is, “Obama.”

This is the hot dog guy meme on steroids

Sundowning. I bet his last word will be “Obama.”

Harrell has always been an empty suit.

Ah, concepts of a plan?

Washington's forests face massive tree die-off Of Washington's 22 million forested acres, the Department of Natural Resources manages about 3 million acres of state land.

"As droughts intensify & insects thrive in warming forests, trees are dying of thirst while being eaten alive. It's a double assault turning once-green mountainsides into graveyards of standing dead timber...'This trend could continue as our climate continues to warm."🌏 www.king5.com/article/tech...

I can’t even with this anymore

It was love at first sight.

The first time Yossarian saw the chaplain he fell madly in love with him.

Are your constituents in the room with us now?

The Democrats who caved just taught Republicans that using mass starvation as a weapon works.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Sheer brutality 👏👏👏

Given the caving Dems in the Senate, I think the proper phrasing of your question is, “May we release the Epstein Files now?” 🙄🙄

Goddam them

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Ok, so is this about getting votes against healthcare on the record to use in midterm political ads? If so, this is political malpractice.

We need leaders of an opposition party, not pols jockeying for votes like in the before times. Don’t fold on the 5 yard line, Dems; make MAGA come to you.

I've added this update to my story about the ongoing torture of SNAP recipients:

Hey weird kids and grownup weird kids, behold our king.

Morning, chat. Here’s sunrise in the PNW from the Kitsap Peninsula.

Telling on themselves … again.

I'll just let the experts do all the explaining. #SNAP

The Presidential Wall of Fame? Excuse me, sir, this is the People’s House, not Grauman’s Chinese Theater.

No means no!

A very plausible explainer of why and how J. Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order.

And Tilly the dog, in a house with three cats.

Three cats in the same room. Calvadore, the tuxedo cat, in the top of the cat tree in the background, Lucipurr, the long haired black cat on the bureau, and Spooky the new black cat on the bed.

Spooky, aka BooBooKitty, is integrating into the pet ecosystem of the house

Sending good vibes ❤️
