The neighbors' chickens were visiting yesterday.

Just happened to get her at the right moment and the right angle....

Food for thought.

YouTube video by Pearlmania500 The only thing ever level of the US agrees on… is the TIKTOK BAN #failbig

THE ONLY THING EVERY LEVEL OF OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN UNANIMOUSLY AGREE ON IS TO SHUT US UP. #tiktokban

Yesterday's little flurry.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Raskin: "It seems we live in a time when it's very easy to forgive sexual abusers, assailants, rapists, and sexual harassers who have a lot of power and wealthy in society, but very hard to forgive their victims for fighting back. Look what's going on across the hallway ... "

I’m not even remotely worried about a trans woman being in my bathroom, but I’m fucking sick with worry about a serial sexual abuser being in my White House.

Maybe someday, women in America will have as many rights as guns do.

I don’t know who did this, but thank you 🤣

Every question from the senators should have been job specific like this. This demonstrates lack of preparedness. This could have convinced 3 republicans he isn’t the right one for the job

Nyxx likes to be helpful, especially where boxes are concerned. 🤪

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees it's the height of hypocrisy to demand highest standards for soldiers, but then lower the standards for Secretary of Defense to woman-abusing drunk Pete Hegseth.

Didn't Earn It, just like convicted felon 47.

This is Mullin spelling out the reason Hegseth, once chosen, must be granted his position (like Kavanaugh before him): conservative men must be allowed to behave irresponsibly, abusively, shamefully, without their right to hold power coming into question. Patriarchy before principles.

He’s a sexist. He’s a predator. He’s an angry drunk. He’s Donald Trump's unqualified first choice for Secretary of Defense. Even though MAGA has been tossing Pete Hegseth softballs in his hearing all morning, remember that he’s nothing more than what his accusers say he is.

2025 in a nutshell…

Last night's full moon, also known as the Wolf Moon, was so bright. I didn't get any good shots of the moon and Mars, but it was pretty spectacular.

Let's remember the compassion GOP politicians have shown California, especially when the Texas power grid craps out in a few months or when hurricane season rolls into Florida.

Rep. French Hill on federal aid to California: "I would be for conditions if people can find ways to attach federal conditions to that aid."

"It does have to do with that ideology of the climate change agenda," Maria Bartiromo replies.

As 2025 begins, so does the year’s first full moon, which also marks the last of four consecutive supermoons, according to NASA. Known as the “wolf moon,” it gets its name from the idea that wolves howl during January’s long, cold nights.

Nala says "hi".

California pays more in federal taxes than it receives in return, while Mike Johnson’s Louisiana takes more than it gives.

Get used to this playbook again, America

1) Trump says something outrageous/stupid/dangerous

2) Dems say, "Geez that thing Trump said was outrageous/stupid/dangerous"

3) Fox News hits Dems for "melting down" while minimizing the outrageous/stupid/dangerous thing Trump said

Crockett: It was my ancestors that built the White House. If we have been good enough to build this country, we are good enough to serve in other ways. Stop trying to act as if only white men are the ones that are capable because you’re sitting with 3 very capable black women
