Oh, that's rich.

Tom Cotton is a hateful, awful man.

The playbookk for contemporary fascism is to hold elections, while ensuring the continued control of the ruling party. Hungary and Turkey are good examples.

That CNN headline is really annoying. Trump and those former oresidents haven't had a contentious relationship. It's been full-on, one-sided attack after attack from Trump toward them. There's a difference.

😡

The quote from Medeveve is questionable.

What a boob!

He was confirmed by a single. fucking. vote.

He's in his 40s, believe it or not.

Happy #Caterday!

“I entered into this collaboration in good faith, believing that the institution shared a commitment to presenting work that reflects the full, complex truth of American life,” the artist said in a letter sent on Wednesday to Lonnie G. Bunch III, the secretary of the Smithsonian, which runs the Portrait Gallery. “Unfortunately, it has become clear that the conditions no longer support the integrity of the work as conceived.’’ – Amy Sherald

The #SmithsonianNationalPortraitGallery was scheduled to feature an exhibition of her work in Sept. In talks with Museum staff, it was acknowledged that the curators had concerns about this painting; they feared provoking Trump. She canceled the entire exhibition

Thanks for posting this. It matters.

I have one but it's never bloomed

Hummingbirds love it.

I love it when I spot one. They're so cool.

This is it in a nutshell.

Can't read it. It's paywalled.

Old news. June 6. A lot has happened with the ugly bill since then. It's still ugly but some things have not been allowed to kept in it by the parliamentarian.

Who do you mean by "we"?

Clean energy down the toilet.

The latest is It's not happening. It didn't pass the Senate Parliamentarian's rules.

I read a comment from a law professor who said it was odd for the administration to choose birthright citizenship as the case to limit nationwide injunctions. There wasn't really an explanation as to why she stated that. Curious if anyone has a read on it.

I read today that HHS and/or DOJ are releasing a felon in exchange for testimony against KAG. Scum bags.

@Jon Cooper: the comments reveal that a lot of people believe this erroneous post. You should consider taking it down.

That's the problem with posting memes without fact-checking.

I know it's a fact that Israel offers its citizens universal health care. I'm not sure about the rest.
