Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says β€˜yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

Dear Bluesky

Zohran Mamdani showed the Democratic party exactly how to win, but I fear they will totally deny the lesson. Meanwhile, ballroom boy has already pivoted to affordability. Please don’t let the old guard lose yet another election due to corruption and incompetence.

Thanks,

God

It's chemo Thursday, day after having the pump unhooked. A phase where I now *think* I want solid food until I actually put some in my mouth. Thank heaven for the vast variety of liquid nutrition available!

If my pattern holds, I'll be back to real food Saturday or Sunday, then all next week.

They're shooting at each other. Good.

Kansas Fights To Keep Abortion Restrictions, With Help From Alliance Defending Freedom The Woman’s Right to Know Act includes a requirement that doctors tell patients about unproven abortion pill β€œreversal,” an element key to the anti-abortion movement’s legal strategy.

A 24-hour waiting period, then another 30-minute forced delay after an ultrasound. Consent forms printed on the correct paper, in the correct font. Distressed patients turned away for failing to jump through each hoop. This was the reality of getting an abortion in Kansas for decades.

Remember: no matter who is in the Oval Office, you can always fight for change at the state and local levels.

Just look at New Mexico.

The picture shows a yellow butterfly on a yellow flower.
It is probably a postillon or horseshoe clover yellow butterfly. It is sitting on a yellow, star-shaped flower. The butterfly's wings are open and show a yellow colouring with black dots. The flower is part of a plant, of which a closed bud and green, fleshy leaves can also be seen in the left-hand part of the picture.
The background is blurred and kept in light, neutral brown tones, which draws attention to the butterfly and the flower. Dry branches and other blurred plants can be seen.
