Today in the Oval Office, Trump said he’s considering pardoning the men convicted for plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020.

Kamala Harris didn't kill any popes when she was Vice President.

ICE has detained Kseniia Petrova, a Harvard scientist from Russia working on major advancements in cancer detection, since mid-February.

If deported, she could face arrest over her opposition to the war in Ukraine.

Another reminder that xenophobia hurts all of us.

There is a such a HUGE difference between wasting the day (awesome) and wasting the day (annoying)

If you know someone in Christiana or S of Murfreesboro, give them a holler. Fairly impressive couplet.

Tell me your (or someone’s) silliest hijinks, pranks and mischief managed. Bonus points if it’s protest or resistance related.

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office.

Don’t forget.

Any word on road conditions?

NEW: The CDC is currently removing all the influenza resources from their website during the worst flu season in decades.

Did you guys know that, in addition to calling your reps, you can also fax them, for free, from your phone? faxzero.com/fax_congress...

You guys ever had the ice wine out of Ontario? Amazing.

I could REALLY go for some poutine right now. Maybe a Montreal bagel. 🥯

everyone is just sick all the time now, huh

White House bars AP reporter from Oval Office because of AP style policy on 'Gulf of America' The highly unusual ban, which Trump administration officials had threatened earlier Tuesday unless the AP changed its style on the Gulf, could have constitutional free-speech implications.

Barring the AP reporter was an affront to the #FirstAmendment of the U.S. Constitution, which bars the government from impeding the freedom of the press, said Tim Richardson, program director of journalism and misinformation for PEN America. tinyurl.com/57r5e49x

Dear @dropouttv.bsky.social, thanks for being a distraction from the horrors. You’re a real one for that.

I think there’s an idea that eventually people, especially people we want to believe the best of, will see reason when things get bad enough. But some people really never will. It sucks, and it’s hard to square with.

Sometimes I think about the fact that there were people who lived and died believing Hitler was an okay guy. People who voted for him thinking it was a better choice for Germany, or would help the economy, normal people who believed lies. And then had a heart attack maybe, or a wreck, and never saw.

Five stars for this excellent take

My calls to their offices went to voicemail. Did anyone get to talk to a person when they called today?

Proud to see these words from @mtsuofficial.bsky.social’s Dean Vile. 👏🏻

This is so disappointing

So very concise with the insight

Surely his administration must be behind this also

Nvm, second flu swab was positive 🫠 this was not on my to do list

Two kids down with high fevers. So far flu and covid tests are negative. Anything else circulating locally? 😬

P.S. Call your representatives, they work for you! ☎️

A lot of things are bad. Joy, anyway.
