Two years ago, Alexei Navalny died in a Russian prison camp, poisoned with a lethal toxin. The Kremlin bears full responsibility. (1/3)

As a kid I never imagined I’d be richer than my dad, older than Batman, and smarter than the President.

Its Presidents Day… I’m going to buy so many mattresses

When you are asked what on earth you are talking about. The correct response is ‘you are asking the wrong person.’

My mechanic told me that my car really wasn't worth anything but might bring in a few dollars for spare parts. My doctor told me the same thing about my body. 😣

The establishment wants us to not focus on this.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.

This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

My wife and I have a little tradition. If I forget Valentines Day she gets to play Cupid with my compound bow and hunting arrows while I try to survive. So fun!

Before leaving the vet, the receptionist mentioned the bill and I said "Put it on my Tabby" and the cat looked like "See what I gotta deal with?"

Pro tip: Asking God to smite your enemies will ensure you never get asked to lead the prayer before a family meal again.

WIFE: You're very quiet. What are you thinking?

ME: It's funny how arrivederci has the word arrive in it when it actually means that you're leaving.

HER: Sometimes it's ok to say 'nothing'

"The first person to be executed for treason in the US was not a spy or someone who sold secrets to a foreign government. It was not a Confederate general who took up arms against his government. It was an abolitionist named John Brown." from @nhannahjones.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.

Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.
