Iโ€™m shocked heโ€™s even aware there is a SOTU. Apparently, he has zero staff to keep him informed of anything.

Photo of an opened sketchbook with pens behind it. 
The sketch depicts a landscape with mountains and a red tree. In the sky is a red orb. Below the tree stands a little samurai silhouette and somewhere hides a cat.

I know this is overly simplistic like a bad screenplay, but I wish all Democratic states at least would just announce now that all polling places in 2026 will be surrounded by Sheriff's deputies, State police, City police and State Guard units on election day to prevent any interference in voting.

#larrysummers Larry Summers capitulates to having his name in the Epstein files by retiring. That's great but he still needs to face more accountability. It's not okay for him to just take his pension and run!

Kaul: I think we do need to be prepared. The good news is theyโ€™ve now shown their hand. We know that theyโ€™re bringing nothing to court other than recycled garbage they already presented in 2020.

God, it gets so tiresome carrying a 500mm lens in my luggage, just so I can include some of the birds I meet in the vacation snapshots I share with my friends. Why can't I be like a normal person and just take selfies wherever I go? Or why can't birds just be like 10 times as large? ๐Ÿฆ

Itโ€™s a dark day in America when a sitting Member of Congress has to remind the president that Black people are not apes.

I stand with Al Green.

Trumpโ€™s Epstein Scandal Takes Damning Turn as Dem Drops New Bombshell As new revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein saga threaten the president, a legal expert decodes what we just learnedโ€”and lays out a roadmap to what will happen now.

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up."

If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod:

My cats are totally fine but I've read about some devastating losses for others today. Hold your kitties. Celebrate them. Soak up every moment because our time with them is far too short. ๐Ÿ’”

James: Itโ€™s unfortunate that the president is weaponizing the federal government, particularly the DOJ. Itโ€™s also unfortunate that Pam Bondi seems to believe that the DOJ is the personal attorney for the President of the United States, rather than serving the interests of America

I'm heading to the Senate floor in a few moments to lay out the detailed story of ICE abuse - teargassing schools, murdering American citizens with impunity, disappearing legal immigrants. And why we should not fund ICE until they stop terrorizing our communities.

My cat walked into the room, made heavy eye contact, let out the longest "MMMMMMMMEEEEEERRROOOOWWWEEEEEEEoooo...ughgghhh", flopped over, and farted loudly. Then she fell asleep.

She may be my spirit animal.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didnโ€™t drop the rod. WTF
