Picture of a mis-shaped cake with chocolate sauce and strawberries on top of a pale pink frosting. Cake is on a paper plate, on a blue rectangular cutting board, on a dark granite kitchen counter

I bought some #katesbuttermilk to make a cake. But there quite a bit left over. How should I used up the rest without making another cake?

Senator, respectfully, this is tone deaf. Please understand that I, a private citizen, expect you, a PUBLIC SERVANT, to serve us.

Too many words to paste here but look up Talking Points Memo - Authoritarian International from Feb 12. Or read Heather Cox Richardson from Feb 13.

“You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one, and if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life! It's not about food, it's about keeping those ants in line”

I read today’s entry and thought it would be spectacular if a billionaire with a soul could fund a general strike. I can see how it doesn’t happen because people literally can’t afford to stop working. But as Hopper said in A Bug’s Life…

January 24, 2026 This morning, on a street in Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

My first thought upon looking at this was “Didn’t he get shot in the ear?” Why no scar?

This information is as dangerous as this person claims it is, he should probably watch his back. People have a habit of disappearing it seems :(

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

A drop in the bucket. $120M when he is worth $500B — that isn’t even ONE PERCENT!

Brought the #chocowondermutt to work today. One upside to the early sun set time is the late afternoon / almost golden hour light while she sleeps in my office. ❤️

Spread the Word

I simply cannot with this.
The r-word is a demoralizing slur that should NEVER be used as an insult. Trump did it yesterday and plenty of otherwise tolerant blue accounts jumped on board using it to describe Trump instead.
Take the pledge below to stop using the r-word. It is wholly unacceptable.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

If the House has to come back to Washington, does the congresswoman from Arizona finally get sworn in?

Curious as to how much more you’ll pay if @democrats.senate.gov decide your health isn’t worth fighting for?

Check out this calculator tool that shows what your ACA premiums will look like if @schumer.senate.gov and the Dems cave:

Why they even need to consider pressing charges is a no brainer. The shooter is guilty - even with Stand Your Ground, she wasn’t looking to rob them!

She wrote 1,800 poems, and only 10 were published in her lifetime—all without her permission. She spent thirty years writing some of the most revolutionary poetry in American literature. And almost no one knew.

Emily Dickinson. Who knew??
