An elderly man caring for his aging dog shows the kind of loyalty dogs teach us without words. Senior dogs need extra attention, but the bond only deepens with time.

As always, Josh Marshall has the best analysis of this mess. In a just world, he would be the editor of the NYT or the WP. He and his team do fantastic invaluable work and deserve your support.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.
I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.
Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."
Why do I always look menacing and unpleasant whenever I’m on the tee vee lookie box? At least I can say I was on at the same time as President Trump.
The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
@charlesgaba.com is a hero and downloaded CDC’s entire website. A small group of us has come together to preserve this critical resource and make it accessible to the scientific community. More to come. These data are public and they are ours. Deletion disobedience is one way to fight back.
Charles Gaba ✡️@charlesgaba.com · 2y ago📣 UPDATE: OK, still working with some others to figure out the best way to present it all, but in the meantime here's the first batch of links to the most-recent archived versions of every page at the CDC prior to the Trump/Musk Purge: acasignups.net/25/02/02/whi...
People are dying because Trump illegally cut off foreign aid. He’s purging civil servants and law enforcement officers deemed insufficiently loyal. He unilaterally suspended Medicaid and froze trillions in funding. All of this is unlawful! And Democrats are … touting areas of bipartisan compromise?

Five Questions with Dr. Vin Gupta
Today has been about a month’s worth of news, none of it good.

I do not recall a 24 hour or one week news cycle with more disturbing news about the state of the presidency and the US government in it than those of today and the past seven days. January 6 was nothing compared to this. But make no mistake, this too is the gov't being torn apart by a mob of thugs.
Please read and share.
Brandi Buchman@brandibuchman.bsky.social · 2y agoThere are a lot of things that Donald Trump wants to rewrite about his past. But as he prepares to resume power, I have put together a story that I hope you will find useful to combat dis/misinformation and propaganda. www.huffpost.com/entry/3-thin...
So Trump launched a meme coin on Friday night, just days before becoming President, and entities he controls retain 80% of the coin. And the coin passed a $9 billion market cap in just hours. I just can't...
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 2y agoHoly shit I assumed this was more NFTs but it’s specifically a *fungible* asset meaning he’s selling his own crypto coin. On top of that, it has a crazy fucking disclaimer and all the hallmarks of a fucking rugpull. This is fucking nuts.
One under-appreciated, under-discussed explanation for Trump winning is simply that the people who voted for him believed a wide array of false things. The mainstream commentariat's refusal to center information rot has led to much confusion. Highly recommend this piece from @karlbode.com:

I still can’t quite believe I was able to write this story. I am very glad that I was. And while it isn’t everything, it is a lot. It’s history, and it’s very good.
