I am begging every Senate Democrat to vote against confirmation of this clown. Take a stand. Don't try to triangulate. This is an easy call.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

YES
YES AND YES!!!.
It's my zen place.
And my butterflies and dragonflies always say hi to me.
They know 🙂

As someone who's backyard is dedicated to pollinators, I so appreciate this!
These kind of posts give me hope.
Thank you all!

'Trump Is Not Well': House Democrat Calls For 25th Amendment After 'Crazy' New Report Rep. Dan Goldman warned that action was needed "before something really bad happens on US soil."

A WSJ report that claimed Trump’s advisers kept him out of a command room as the U.S. military attempted to rescue two airmen who were downed in Iran.

“Trump screamed at aides for hours,” the WSJ reported, adding that aides feared “his impatience wouldn’t be helpful” in the delicate operation.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Explosion just shook Kharkiv ‼️ Russia struck our city with a missile.
Before that they were attacking us with drones all afternoon.

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

I'll always cherish the fact that Ringo had the most post Beatles # 1s!

“All we have to fear, is fear itself”

“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”

“What the hell is a corner store?”

Great Presidential quotes of our time

The NFL barely cares about violence against women. They definitely don’t care about extramarital activity.

Women in uniform missing from abortion study after Dobbs decision, researcher says Ibis Reproductive Health could recruit only three women in uniform for a 2024 survey on the effects of the decision that ended protection of abortion.

When a research team tried to document how US female service members were faring two years after Roe was overturned, only 3 subjects stepped forward, compared to 300 in a similar 2019 study. The team said reasons might be heightened fear, surveillance, professional risk, and a rise in sterilization.

Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an"Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥

Daniel Goldman: Every single organization in America would fire Mike Johnson if he were their CEO. The American people will fire him in November.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying them for sex. I feel this needs to be emphasized much more than it is.

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.

Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.

Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Tell me if I’m wrong but if people can go to prison for lying to Congress, then shouldn’t members of Congress go to prison for lying to the people?

Schiff: What more will happen? You know, really, the sky’s the limit. We have to anticipate they could create some provocation at a polling place to create a pretext to call on the military or to seize ballot boxes. And we’re going to be prepared for whatever they throw our way…

Thank you, Merlin! 💙

Pope says ‘world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants’ amid feud with Trump’s White House Pontiff denounces leaders who invoke religion to justify war, after US bishops offer him support after Vance remarks

Pope Leo XIV: “Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN THE UNITED STATES, Plaintiff, Civil Case No. 25-4316 (RJL) V. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, et al., Defendants. ) ) MEMORANDUM OPINION April 16 * 2026 [Dkt. #65, 71] On March 31, 2026, I granted the motion of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States ("National Trust') for a preliminary injunction to halt construction of a ballroom on White House grounds as ultra vires. In recognition of the national security and presidential security concerns raised by the ongoing construction project, I excluded from the scope of the injunction "actions strictly necessary to ensure the safety and security of the White House and its grounds, including the ballroom construction site, and provide for the personal safety of the President and his staff." Defendants now seek to turn this exception on its head and unreasonably insist that the entire ballroom project may proceed. Based on the record before me, I cannot possibly agree, but I will clarify the scope of the injunction as described below.

NEW: Judge Leon reaffirms his order blocking ballroom construction.
