Florida has at least four Senators at the moment, which seems vaguely unconstitutional. www.npr.org/2026/06/13/n...

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 3w agomakes sense since marshall actually lives in florida:
Third Way Democrats plan to spend $15 million attacking democratic socialist House and Senate candidates. We need every single seat we can win in November, but these folks seem to be of the view that we should "vote blue no matter who" only when centrists constitute the who.
Mooch would have stolen it, and I doubt she would have apologized to another dog. No shame in her game. This one was adorable.

The cat's stunned reaction to the baby kicking in the womb
Alabama officials are done pretending. 11 hours. That’s all it took from when SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act until Alabama officials began doing what should have been expected.
WATCH: The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of the second Trump administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases. Full story: propub.li/4tHp2Wd
Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.
Every year, hundreds of people walk silently through the streets of Minneapolis… looking at the windows of the houses. It's the Wedge Cat Tour: the residents put the cats in the window and the crowd stops to admire them. Yes. This exists. 😹
it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 6mo agoStill feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.
We need to all help with midterms! Flip the HOUSE and SENATE to impeach this cretinous murderer.
The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar. Apparently like every day.
NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:
Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

Lasers were a huge scientific breakthrough and now we use them to play with cats. Computers were also a huge scientific breakthrough and now we use them to look at pictures of cats. In other words, science was made for cats.
