How can we not Love them?
The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.
They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
Senate Republicans just BLOCKED the bill @padilla.senate.gov and I called up to reopen FEMA today.
Then they demanded we vote to give billions more ICE and CBP, without any reforms. None. π§΅
How much money would Pittsburgh get if its big nonprofits paid taxes?
Yeah, 99% of the staff is super professional, but I got a new one and next time, I will have her removed.

Why does everyone treat Donald Trump like he is sane?
We caught up with Tyson this weekend, the dog who came to us after someone poured boiling water over him.
When we told Tysonβs story, we said there was another dog who had experienced the same.
This is her, Maya

AS PENNSYLVANIA TREASURER, Stacy Garrity has invested $45 million in taxpayer funds into Israel Bonds since 2023. But when she recently attended a βthank youβ gala hosted by the firm behind the bonds, she decided to do so as a Republican candidate for governor. Itβs unclear when the gala took place β neither the organizers nor Garrityβs campaign would say. But her campaign finance records show a $450 payment was made in June 2025 to Israel Bonds. Thatβs the colloquial name for the Development Corporation for Israel, a for-profit organization that floats debt with proceeds going to the Israeli government.
Nathan Miller, a spokesperson for the group, said in a statement that βthe event that Treasurer Garrity attended was billed as a βThank You Eventβ and the invitees were investors in Israel bonds in Pennsylvania.β He did not respond to follow-up questions. Matt Beynon, Garrityβs campaign spokesperson, told Access Harrisburg that she βbelieved that the Israel Bonds event crossed the line beyond her official capacity as Treasurer and into the political, so she decided to pay for her ticket from her campaign funds because she did not believe taxpayer dollars should be used for those purposes.β
SOUNDS CLEAN CUT, RIGHT? βIt's positive she had this self-reflective moment,β said Davina Hurt, a former local government official who now serves as the director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. But the unknowns β such as who Garrity knew in the room, why she decided to treat the event as political, and the timeline of her decision β had Hurt asking more questions. βYou want to be in every room to see everybody, but when you arrive to this role, you need to be very thoughtful about what rooms you sit in and how you separate the individual from the public benefit,β Hurt said.
Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity put $45 million in taxpayer money into Israel Bonds. The firm invited her to a thank you gala with other investors, but she attended for political purposes. She paid for the event with campaign funds; still, ethics experts have questions.
Went all week without having to turn on the heating...all good. π
All nurses assisting in Retina Eye Care should receive a needle in their eye before sassing patients. That would teach them.

These depositions could have been an email.
"Look, man. We didn't know anything about anything. We cut and pasted Trump's Executive Order into ChatGPT, and then fed it the database of grant descriptions, and asked which ones 'violated' the EO. We didn't read the list, we just killed the list."
Maybe it's just me, but I think more people should be talking about the fact that Jared Kushner helped convince Trump to start a war with Iran.
Meanwhile, Kushner's top client, Saudi Arabia, which pays Kushner $25 million+ annually, was also lobbying Trump to start a war.
Good Morning βοΈ
What have we (they) accomplished by bombing Iran?
I see nothing good.
what a difference.

He's gone mad.

Big Dog likes to try and hide behind furniture but I generally get him blocked off before he can do it.
Trump officials moving onto military bases is a ridiculous, absolutely inappropriate thing, and the NYT story that credulously credited claimed threats as justifying such a move is also ridiculous.
Chili's values don't align with my tastebuds, so no beans for you.
Democrats should demand a clawback of ICE's remaining OBBB money before agreeing to supplemental Pentagon funding.
See how they handle things? They makes threats to remove a democratic mayor. Capitulate or else.
Remember that down the road. Theyβre setting the strike zone β¦ gonna have to pitch to them around that after the midterms.
