Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

For once, I believe him.

Sabrina Carpenter with blonde hair dressed as Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman

I see this little argument about Wonder Woman being brunette…
Reminder! Wonder Woman is within all of us, and sometimes, she has blonde hair like Sabrina Carpenter! 💫

Female statue is shown something heinous on someone’s phone

All I know is, after becoming a widow many years ago, I did not:

🫣 immediately display super public intimacy with another man
🧐 while wearing skintight pleather pants
😡 and disrespecting someone’s wife

But, as they say…

My law firm is currently litigating 13 redistricting cases and an additional 50 voting and election cases. 63 lawsuits and those numbers are growing. While this is a lot for a firm with fewer than 60 lawyers, I am proud that we helping to defend free and fair elections and democracy in court.🗳️⚖️💪

The most spectacular costume of 2025? That honor belongs to…

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Reminder:

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

Farm workers harvesting lettuce

Enjoying a green salad? Our favorite lunch comes to us due to the hard-working Farm workers who are laboring in Lamont, CA, harvesting the fresh lettuce we enjoy. #WeFeedYou

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Very concerning, if true.

Doug Ford's ad using Reagan's words slamming tariffs just aired during the World Series

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @jesseduquette.bsky.social )

Diane Keaton defends Woody Allen over abuse allegations The actress says she "continues to believe" the director after claims against him resurfaced.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade - but it must be hard for abuse survivors to be looking at all the mourning in their feeds without any mention of this: www.bbc.com/news/enterta.... Some women stand up for other women, and some believe abusers because it never happened to them....

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.

ANTIFA

Since 1933

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane
