Massive mammatus clouds in Chicago hang in the air like pouches of ice crystals. A passenger jet flys in front of them dwarfed by their massive size

Mammatus clouds dwarf this passenger jet. Wonder what their view was like

Color photograph. A long haired tan and black tabby kitten with cerulean eyes is perched atop a tan colored platform on a cat tree. She looks absolutely peaceful and has her face stretched a bit towards the camera as if to get closer. The photo has a very soft focus.

“Come closer…closer… I have a story to tell you.
It begins with a brave and majestic floof, a mysterious red dot, and a battle for the ages…”

Side-by-side collage of two images. On the left, a man with a beard sits in a legislative chamber seat, leaning forward over a desk with papers. On the right, two men stand behind podiums during what appears to be a debate or TV segment; a pink circle highlights a block or platform under one of the men’s feet.

Trump wants this guy in charge of Homeland Security.

Chicago 🤝🏼 fog

Trump, Bessent and Nutlick consider this a feature not a bug.

2/ And in that world, where more countries pursue nuclear weapons, the inevitable consequence is either more military strikes to prevent them—or more countries with nuclear weapons.

1/ I want to point out something that’s getting lost in the conversation around Donald Trump’s foreign policy: regardless of what happens in the short term, we’ll be living with the long-term consequences of blowing up international rules and replacing them with a “might makes right” world.

From an international perspective, America is a rogue state now, right? America doesn't respect international law, doesn't honor treaties, is murdering civilians all over the world without care or consequence.

At what point does the rest of the world say ENOUGH?

There is nothing Trump dislikes more than bad ratings.

Kristi Noem getting fired is more evidence that we have power, and we have to use it.

Today's weather is super moody

Screenshot of an X post by Gavin Newsom reading “Gone, but not forgotten.” The post includes a grayscale video thumbnail showing a person in military gear and helmet, with large text over the image reading “IN MEMORIAM KRISTI NOEM 2025–2026.”

She lasted just over 37 Scaramuccis.

In Trump’s America, flunkies and henchmen are never fired for breaking the law.
They’re fired for breaking the illusion.

I'm sorry, but what the ACTUAL fuck?

Over 600,000 cats and dogs were euthanized in 2024 because their shelters didn’t have enough space. As a Co-Chair of the Animal Protection Caucus, I’m committed to making sure all of our furry friends find a loving home.

Yesterday, @ASPCA.org and I hosted Capitol Hill’s annual pet adoption day: “Paws for Luck.” Thank you to all the shelter employees, trainers, and volunteers who helped put on this event.

Like clockwork.

Who's ready for thunder??

#Chicago #Weather #ILwx

Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war.

It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.

Congress doesn't understand my generation's struggle to afford a home because many of them bought theirs decades ago. I'm ready to tackle the affordability crisis and work to lower prices on day one.

It's about damn time.
Who's next?
