The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

Ha, there’s already a Raven who shills for Litter Robot, although now I’m forgetting who it is. 🤔 Always love to see cat guys get the spotlight!

Abandoned twice (that we know of) in West Baltimore, multiple litters of kittens… now Kiki is happily indoors, spayed & ready to break out her bikini & show off her mom bod (& new tattoo)! 😁 She’s SUCH a fun, friendly cat; if you’re in the Mid Atlantic and looking for an awesome cat, get in touch!

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

Trump sends mixed signals on when Iran War might End

Trump Zigzags on When War Will End

Trump Zigzags on When War Will End

I’m not sure whether “mixed signals” or “zigzags” captures the fact that, in an unhinged press conference, Trump said completely contradictory things about the war that he started without explaining its goals or endgame and without getting Congressional approval.

I know absolutely zero about TV production, finding video footage, etc., but I’m going to go out on a limb and say there’s NO FUCKING WAY that you can “mistakenly” use old footage vs the footage you got YESTERDAY. God, they are just so fucking shameless.

I’m an EV convert, and honestly the infrastructure is pretty well there, unless you are doing a lot of driving out in the boonies. It’s definitely easiest if you can charge at home, but there are lots of chargers in Baltimore that are in walkable places. Check out the Nissan Leaf of Chevy Bolt!

That was also my question! I could see it being a kind of chain reaction disaster on some of those really long escalators…

The only thing Trump and Republicans can offer farmers is more and more government welfare to hang onto their votes, because every one of their policies hurts their ability to conduct business in a market environment. This is especially true of family-owned farms.

I really wonder what the real military folks actually think about this clown and this attitude. I would hope they do NOT agree, but I feel like it's going to do immense damage to the institution.

The Manacle, the Network, and the Tree New Epstein revelations have many in science asking me “how can things be different?”

Amidst overwhelming Epstein revelations, I've heard from many scientists, especially women, about the deafening silence from so many corners. Many ask "how could things be different?"

In this post, I answer with three metaphors, grounded in the science he tried to own
