The app says dead manโ€™s fingers. Iโ€™m not sure. They are so tiny. Quite the surprise as I have not seen anything like it in our yard to date

We are on a garden walk in a couple of weeks. We have a shaded lot with mostly native plants. We were asked what would be in bloom. I replied, โ€œNot much itโ€™s the shade. We have lovely shades of green. Lots of green.โ€

If you're in congress and you aren't publicly in favor of banning the trading of individual stocks by people in congress, get your head out of your fucking ass.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony.

Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJโ€™s actions and defend the rule of law.

The majority seems to be affording the president a strong presumption of regulatory-assuming good faith and respect for constitutional boundaries. But everything this administration has done since Jan. 20 rebuts that presumption (a reality that may be dawning on Barrett, but apparently not Roberts or Brett Kavanaugh). As Boasberg has shown, and Sotomayor noted, the president invoked the Alien Enemies Act in secret so it could hustle
migrants overseas before courts could intervene. Why should he now receive this extraordinary, undeserved assistance to continue operating what is so obviously an unlawful program, with a pinky promise that he'll afford due process this time to those ensnared on the thinnest of pretenses? Roberts' decision to bail Trump out is a deeply ominous sign that the chief justice wants to rein in lower courts standing in the way of the MAGA agenda. If he does, it won't just be Venezuelan migrants who pay the price. J

I think the Supreme Court got the law badly wrong tonight. But beyond that, itโ€™s just incredibly ominous that Roberts would throw Boasberg under the bus and hand Trump this big win when his administration has conducted this case in EXTREME bad faith from the start. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Is there any possibility that the dire wolves will be bred as billionaire pets so that they can walk around like Jon Snow with a dire wolf sidekick? It seems like an easy way to financially support future funding for returning species to non-existent habitats.

Northeastern Illinois is bracing again for the High winds today that are blowing the fields of Iowa and Missouri into the state. Frightened people are questioning what to do about their stocks that are faltering. Lots of saber rattling coming from DC. Is the US experiencing some sort of Deja vu?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldnโ€™t find itโ€ฆso donโ€™t RT right now this very second.

Weirdโ€ฆ Trying to watch Maddow on MSNBCHD Xfinity but getting an emergency alert page with no sound. The NonHD MSNBC channel is playing Maddow. Not appreciating the emergency alert page stress. Other HD channels are normal.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

We have
- Media Censorship
- Oligarchy
- Kleptocracy
- Personal Enrichment at the State's Expensive
- State run corruption
- Support for Dictators
- Political repression

All we're missing to be officially Russia is a good old fashioned defenestration!

Hope it's on your Bingo card! Good luck!
