is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

It’s not leadership anymore it’s a circus, and everyone’s fighting for center ring.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

In yesterday’s congressional hearing, ICE bristled at being called fascist

This story from Idaho alleges they went well beyond fascism-all the way to an American Gestapo

β€œParents and children were zip tied at gunpoint”

β€œofficers used racial slurs and sorted..the crowd into groups” based on race

Newborn calf struggling in deep freeze brought indoors to curl up on couch A Kentucky family battling extreme cold temperatures on their farm over the weekend opened their home to a newborn calf that was struggling in the deep freeze.

You really need to read this heart-warming story about the frozen calf ...

β€œShe was just frozen. Her umbilical cord looked like a popsicle. I took out the blow dryer and warmed her up, and got her all fluffed out.”

Soon the calf was lying on the couch, cuddling with her young children.

The Cheers oral history in Vanity Fair (I believe) had it as the last TV series written by people who didn't grow up watching television. I've never forgotten that.

And in this moment, this beautiful child would be falling into his mother for comfort but she has been taken.

We are raising a generation of children who are being traumatized by the state, and some of them will grow up angry because their parents were ripped away by force.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

This is beyond desperate. So since Republicans can’t stop people from voting, they send mailers with the wrong date for the special election on 12/2.

Jesus, @cnn.com you put Stephen Miller’s wife on the air

How many times do we have to say it

WHITE SUPREMACY IS NOT A VALID VIEWPOINT

IT DOES NOT DESERVE ANY AIR TIME. EVER

AND BY ALLOWING HER ON A NATIONAL PROGRAM, YOU ARE NORMALIZING HATRED

You are part of the problem

They need a ventilator to stay alive. Getting one can be a nightmare Few nursing homes can care for people who need help breathing with a ventilator because of ALS and other conditions. Insurers often deny payment for the best at-home machines, and innovative solutions are endangered by Medicaid cuts.

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not β€œstupid”, they are not β€œpiggies”, and they are not β€œugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.

We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

Retired judges warn that the rule of law is unraveling In interviews, former state and federal judges describe the consequences when the rule of law begins to falter, warning that democracy’s guardrails may already be weakened.

Retired federal and state judges say President Trump’s attacks on the judiciary strain its integrity. They cite partisanship, antagonistic rhetoric from public officials and ambiguous decisions handed down by the Supreme Court.
