Servant to two golden retrievers, never more than 24 hours until or since a hockey game. Living the dream.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

I know things are bad but please don't pass up adopting that puppy or kitty that you've been thinking about. My house and my rescue foster network are so full that we are passing up on lives that we could save because adoptions have trickled to a stop in 2026. And we're not the only rescue affected.

Reporter: Congressman Kean, why did you trade stocks while you were missing votes for more than three months? Kean: 🦗🦗 Reporter: No response, sir? Kean: 🦗🦗

Public health experts estimate that only to this present moment, a half a million humans are now dead who would otherwise be alive because this shitpiece "got carried away, frankly" and cut aid from the world's richest nation to many of the poorest. Glad to see him take pause and be so reflective.

Suddenly, as His Empire Crumbles, Elon Musk Admits He Made a Huge Mistake With DOGE

Musk lamented that he "got a little too involved in politics" and "got carried away, frankly," after helming DOGE last year.

Pete Hegseth seems *obsessed* with the appearance of the men in our military. He monitors how much facial hair they have. He wants them to get bigger muscles by doing pull-ups. And now he wants them to take testosterone. Is he running a military or a stable of porn actors?

Kash Patel uses government jets to attend concerts and sporting events. JD Vance asked that a $16,000+/hour helicopter take his young son to a golf lesson. These people are supposed to SERVE this country, not treat it like a personal luxury for their own frivolous use.

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?

As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
While broadcasters typically air a prime-time address by the president, they determined that this speech was more ‘political’ than newsworthy for live coverage

As has been the case for six years any news outlet taking trump live thursday night after he said he’ll lie about the 2020 election and the legitimacy of georgia’s senators is explicitly endorsing that lie as a legitimate opinion

"Raul" is harvesting oranges in Delano CA. We go up and down ladders with a 70lb bags and filling a 900 lb bin. We get paid $24/bin. If I go really fast, in a 5 hr work day, I managed to fill 5 bins It is very hard to move up and down the ladder with a heavy bag." #WeFeedYou

A bag full of oranges that a worker is harvesting

today is a celebration of the US narrowly escaping British tyranny. unfortunately there’s no counterfactual of what would’ve happened if the British maintained territory in north america but we can only assume it would’ve been terrible

It's interesting how everything people used to proudly call "public" when I was growing up (public parks, public libraries, public schools, public transportation, public television, etc) is suddenly "socialist" now that rich people are spinning it.

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

DR Congo superfan denied US visa to support team at World Cup

Michel Kuka Mboladinga is iconic for his motionless tribute at DRC games, but a US World Cup repeat has been denied.
