Thanks for making me laugh. I needed it.

Thank you both for the much-needed chuckle.

Exactly.

My Year as a Degenerate Sports Gambler Practically overnight, America made wagering on a game as frictionless as checking the weather. I was determined to understand the consequences—for my country, and for myself.

Morning Briefing: Capitol Rioters File Lawsuit Against Capitol Police for Excessive Force Supporters of President Donald Trump that attacked the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021 are now reportedly “suing Capitol and D.C. Police for excessive force.”

Photograph of a car with a squirrel inside of it, perched on the steering wheel. The car is the color of champaign at a beige convention, and the squirrel is the color of squirrels. The squirrel is holding a package of crackers in it's mouth. They are the kind like you get at a restaurant, where you get two crackers wrapped in plastic. The driver's side window is slightly cracked. This is how the squirrel got in, and how it got out. It threw the crackers out first, and then climbed out after them. Everything in this operation suggested that this was not the squirrel's first rodeo.

A closeup of the squirrel sitting on the steering wheel. The squirrel deserves a name, so we'll call her Anjeloma, and she's what you might call a winner. She is still squirrel colored. The crackers are white, and labeled "Zest." As if Anjeloma needed more zest. Squirrel, please. You can't see much of the car, but you can see smudges of grunge at the edges of the windshield, where the wipers have cast aside the debris of previous rains and pollen-falls.

The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.

This is Poppy. She was focusing really hard on her agility course, and then she made it through the hoop and accidentally activated zoomie mode. There's no stopping her now. 13/10 (TT: poppythepittie0)

MADRID (AP) - Spain says it has closed its airspace to US planes involved in the Iran war.

The call is coming from inside the house.

This is Daisy. She helped her human make the bed today. Through moral support. 13/10 (IG: daisyneverhelps)

I mean there it is.

Cosplaying working class Rafael Cruz went to Princeton and Harvard. When he flees his constituents without power, he stays at the Ritz-Carlton.

His wife, Heidi, is Managing Director at the fancy investment firm Goldman Sachs.

They are not men & women with callouses on their hands. They are elites.

Is the world really going to have to suffer WW3 because the USA can’t impeach a president?

How much do you suppose this is costing us taxpayers?

When I said Trump would deploy ICE at the polls, I was called an alarmist.

When I said I did not believe the denials,I was labeled a partisan.

Now DOJ officials are endorsing it at rightwing conferences.

The number one rule for No Kings 3 tomorrow is DO NOT INTERACT WITH COUNTER PROTESTERS! Do not talk, do not argue, do not react to their words, their single-finger salute, or their rolling coal. DO NOT ENGAGE!!!!

You safety team is ready to deal with any negative people.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.

This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.

In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.

Virginia: early voting for the redistricting amendment is happening now through April 18.

Protect your voting power and help level the playing field ahead of the midterm elections by voting YES today or on Election Day, April 21.

🎯🎯

Not Congress. The GOP-controlled Congress.

1/ It's not just that unilaterally paying TSA agents is illegal.

It's that Trump has now repeatedly undermined the core of the congressional power of the purse. He's not spending money that has been appropriated by law (impoundments) and he's spending money that has not been appropriated.

This seems highly illegal.

And if it somehow is allowed to continue, why would anyone else enter into any sort agreement with this administration?

It’s been fun the past few years, having people lie or be useful idiots about how Anti DEI is just about merit and not a backdoor whites only policy and then insist those of us who saw that clearly are shrill or paranoid

Remember: The richest 1% evade roughly $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

This is brilliant. Pass it on.

If a secdef violating the 14th amendment rights of US servicemembers by denying promotions based on race isn’t impeachable then I don’t see what is. The man would rather the military be racist than effective.

He doesn't take AIPAC money. In fact, he doesn't take ANY corporate PAC money, and the average donation is around $18. So join us for a virtual event this Sunday for HARRY DUNN!
