What a topsy-turvy time we live in.

Things online are often not as they appear.

Telluride.

Elon Musk started sharing the origin of X accounts and perhaps not surprisingly most of the big MAGA “America First” accounts are based in Russia, Africa and China. So they’ve been influencing American politics over a decade and most certainly not in our best interests. #MAGA #Democracy #USA

I think it's possible I may love the commentary on this photograph more than life itself

It has a “lions laying with lambs” quality to it. I’m surprised it happened at all.

Is Piggy referring to his attempted coup on January 6th?

It’s official!

I just filed to run for the US Senate.

It’s time to take power back for working people.

Caramel Apple Tiramisù

This tiramisù will get better and better the longer it rests in the fridge, making it a perfect dessert to prepare a day or two ahead of serving. nyti.ms/4oLC96o

A tweet from “Governor Newsom Press Office” shows an edited image of Trump's face placed onto a Ronald McDonald-style clown costume: red wig, white face paint, exaggerated red lips, and a yellow-and-red outfit. Below is an embedded tweet from “The White House @WhiteHouse” showing the White House with the McDonald’s golden arches photoshopped onto the roof.

They really did tweet an image of the Golden M above the White House. Sheesh. Clowns, all of them.

This is all part of Trump's "master plan" hatched in the bowels of the Heritage Foundation.
Trump et al will blame the Dems..
My hope is that a fired DOJ employee made copies and will release these files anonymously. .

Sunday Coffee with Ben…MAGA is COLLAPSING!!! By Ben Meiselas

This past week something broke inside the MAGA base, and the proof is everywhere.

It took a while, but now that it's happened to MTG she gets it. I don't know why it takes such hard lessons to get through to people. Trump is unfit to be President. At least MAGA is finally falling apart, so that's something.

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Except if you look at the history of those who employed #Stoicism you would find it anything but apathetic. Roman Emporers had #Stoics killed and exiled for thier apathy? The founding Fathers of the United States were lazy? I'd say your view is very debatable.

True strength comes from knowing what to control, enduring hardships with grace, and letting go of what you can’t change. #Stoicism #Mindset #Resilience #Wisdom

Supreme Court Denies Request to Revisit Same-Sex Marriage Decision

This is great news.

Obergefell v. Hodges is settled law and should always remain the law of the land.

We are glad the Supreme Court rejected this baseless challenge. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...
