Ginni Thomas sent text messages to then-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows urging the reversal of the 2020 election results. Despite this, Justice Thomas participated in cases related to the 2020 election and the January 6th investigation, refusing to recuse himself.

So true

The secret sensory life of plants: researchers are discovering how they see, hear, feel – and even remember Plants can tune into the sound of water to direct their roots towards it, or release toxins to make themselves less palatable to browsing animals.

“Rethinking plant life in this way challenges long-held ideas about intelligence, awareness and communication in the natural world.”
I am not joking when I say this could put the folks who have gone vegan for ethical reasons in a hell of a bind.

Trump’s fixation on White House ballroom is increasing, Post analysis finds The president has publicly highlighted his ballroom project on roughly a third of the days this year.

We analyzed Trump’s public remarks.

His focus on the White House ballroom is increasing — he’s invoked the project on roughly one-third of days this year — even as GOP officials try to steer focus to affordability, health-care costs.

@ence.bsky.social + me.

We had plenty of baleful special interests influence and rent-seeking, but corruption as in straight-up bribery or personally stealing public money was, by global standards, relatively rare and aggressively punished in the United States. One of those don't miss it 'til it's gone things.

You know expectations are in the cellar when Donald can get giddy applause from his corral of shameless sycophants simply because he managed to scrawl his ridiculous signature on a executive order—and it looks like it was written by an aggressive eight-year-old desperate for attention.

This supports my theory that the reason Trump hates the Pope is because the Pope doesn’t worship him

Dumped by Trump The Riley Gaines side story from this week is just the latest reminder of how casually the president tosses aside allies.

You made your pool, now swim in it. On Riley Gaines and the Trump-influencer Faustian bargain:

Arrest this greasy war criminal!

Elected Democrats need to make the case against this crap.

"Imagine your kid comes to you & doesn't feel comfortable in their gender. You may be supportive. Or you may not be able to process it. The point is, the last thing you need is the government stepping into your relationship with your kid."

At least now we know what church he never used to attend.

I don't want to live in a Christian country. I want to live in a country where i can choose to be Christian, or Jewish, or Hindu, or Buddhist, or atheist.

Freedom
Separation of church and state

Hmmm

A reminder for all the pearl clutching Republicans who’ve suddenly decided that sexual misconduct is a red line…

Long before he was found liable of sexual abuse (which he was), your guy bragged openly about grabbing women by the pussy.

And you made him president.

Twice.

There are multiple allegations in the Epstein files that Donald Trump raped children.
Weird how quiet she’s been about that.

The MAGA Meltdown Is Here—and It’s Goddamn Glorious They built the monster, fed it for years, and now it’s turning around and eating every last one of them alive.

Let them fight. 🍿

Donald Trump bragged about grabbing women by the pussy.
He was credibly accused of sexual assault by 20+ women.
He is alleged to have raped at least one child.
He was found liable of sexual abuse.
And Republicans made him president.

Twice.

They don’t get to pearl clutch now.

Maybe someday, women in America will have as many rights as guns do.

"At a time of absolute kind of amorality and immorality in the world...he's a moral leader, and he is establishing himself as someone who's actually willing to stand up to power... That message is going to go down very well among billions of people."

@rhodesben.bsky.social on Pope Leo XIV.

The Trump mafia regime is indistinguishable from the worst features of fascism. It’s devoid of any theme or principle except greed, revenge, corruption & White Christian racial domination.It revels in all forms of human wickedness, in its cruelty, aggression, disregard for decency & the rule of law.

How Putin’s Propagandists Are Spinning Orbán’s Defeat And what has the Russian opposition optimistic.

If nothing else, the sight of a Putin ally at the head of another ex-Communist country getting the boot may tap into the Putin fatigue already growing inside Russia:

Screenshot of a PBS News (@NewsHour) tweet reporting that during Trump's second administration, family members including Jared Kushner, Eric Trump, and Don Jr. are expanding business ventures worth hundreds of millions of dollars, raising concerns about influence peddling and conflicts of interest. The embedded video shows Jared Kushner looking directly at the camera while Trump's back-of-head is visible in the foreground.

But Hunter’s laptop!

Screenshot of a tweet by Headquarters (@HQNewsNow) reporting that the Trump administration ended an $11 million Catholic Charities contract providing care and shelter for unaccompanied migrant children, noting the cancellation came after Pope Leo criticized Trump's war in Iran. The post includes a split image of Trump seated beneath an American flag in dramatic lighting, and Pope Leo XIV in white papal vestments.

That light fixture placement behind him is so apt.
