This is Fendi. He is seen here demonstrating the internationally acknowledged sign language for politely requesting uppies. 13/10 would pick him up immediately (TT: isthat_jojo)

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come.

The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid

Have compassion.

You’re Not Crazy — They Just Want You to Feel That Way The gaslighting of Charlie Kirk’s legacy and why truth still matters

Violence is never justice. I condemn it without caveat. But condemning an act of violence does not mean canonizing the person who was killed. Compassion for the family does not mean sainthood for the father. Mourning does not mean whitewashing the movement he built.

Okay Monday, I'm here...

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

It’s almost like there’s a pattern we should watch for more carefully.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

For those of you who followed Crouton on the old place. Big changes are happening and our love and generosity are much needed.

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

ICE is so depraved they arrested immigrants (and indigenous people) fighting the wild fires in WA state!! Seriously, they arrested people fighting to save lives while they were putting out wild fires!! How embarrassingly stupid!!

70 years ago today, 14-year-old Emmett Till, an African American from Chicago, was brutally murdered for allegedly flirting with a white woman four days earlier. When you see “MAGA,” realize THAT was the America Trumpers are saying was “great.” I want a GREATER America than that. We all should.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room:

The Trump administration is not setting the course for a four-year term.

The Trump administration is setting the course for an everlasting dictatorship.

If Americans don’t want that, the window to stop them is closing quickly.

That is not how democracy works, Jesse.

A picture of a Nagen David and the Druze flag. It says your battle is my battle.

How I feel about what is happening to the Druze in Syria. #Druze

📌Yer goddamned right I am politicizing these gruesome deaths in Texas. The grotesque GOP ghouls have degraded the NWS and treated climate change as "a hoax."
They have ignored the warnings time and time again.
Their proud stupidity and limitless evil is DIRECTLY responsible for this latest tragedy.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US.

Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?

Or just the brown people?

Watch ‪@garrisonhayes.bsky.social‬ explore the connections between America’s culture wars, rising political violence, and the horrifying assassination of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman—and reflect on the alarming speed with which the country moved on.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Court papers filed Wednesday state that Mr. Abrego Garcia was beaten, deprived of sleep, and subjected to psychological torture during the nearly three months he spent in Salvadoran custody. It is unacceptable to send people to other countries to be tortured!

Gen Z has the floor.

Thank you to the Senate for reading the bill aloud so the American people can hear exactly how it will affect their lives.

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.
