why do things like this never happen to me

I worried about my Grandma being alone after Grandpa died and got her a rescue dog. She named him Buddy, which was my Grandfather’s nickname when he was a kid. They seem to be getting along pretty well…

Original post

Just another day in Donald Trump’s Endless Clown Show.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Trump pressured Republican states to rig their electoral maps, because he saw a midterm disaster coming for his party. He knows they will lose big without rigged districts. Virginia can level the playing field and stop his newest scam tomorrow by voting YES for fair election maps. #VoteYesVirginia

NEW: Rep.-elect Analilia Mejia (D-NJ) will be sworn in as U.S. House member within the hour.

Further narrowing GOP majority

If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!

trump is losing one more member of his liquor cabinet.

BREAKING: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned after a tenure marked by allegations that she had an affair with a security staffer and that her husband sexually assaulted her employees.

We’ve hit a point in the news cycle where trump can no longer move people around to make it look like no one’s been fired

Keep Walking The Walk,Mayor Mamdani.......

Trump Is dooming his party to a midterm blowout It's almost as though he wants Republicans to lose.

New in PN: Trump Is dooming his party to a midterm blowout

"The difference between '18 and '26 is that not only has Trump become even more repellent, his actions have made everything worse. In fact, it’s hard to imagine what more he could do to enrage voters & ensure his party’s defeat in November"

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3

Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli

“The Woman Who Knows Too Much”

Amanda Ungaro says Paolo Zampolli abused her, seduced her underage, recruited girls for Epstein, had a hold on Melania (who worked undocumented for years)

He had her deported as they battle for custody. He still works for Trump.

She is willing to testify.

Khanna to Maria Bartiromo: "Barack Obama was a great statesman who left America much safer. I wouldn't put Donald Trump in the same paragraph. Obama actually did his homework ... all Donald Trump did is listen to Netanyahu. That's his entire foreign policy."

You gotta give to the GOP.

They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.

LETTER from journalists to the WHCA: “TAKE STRONGER ACTION”

Wearing pins and handkerchiefs at the dinner isn’t enough as Trump wages war on the first amendment.

Mayor Mamdani and President Obama read a picture book to a group of children.

Mayor Mamdani and President Obama chat and laugh with a group of children.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

Sean Hannity, the Fred Flintstone of shameless propaganda, has declared he will no longer be a Catholic because he worships Donald Trump—and the money it brings in—more.

Sean had to declare publicly that he will no longer be following his faith—because how else would anyone be able to tell?

What a weird timeline. I still think the weasel that got into the large hadron collider in 2016 thrust us into an alternate universe.

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands...may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison

A reminder, as Obama and Mamdani come together for the first time in person, that Mamdani is everything the GOP said Obama was... but wasn't: an African-born socialist Muslim.

We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.

Actually got choked up remembering having a president like this.

Is anyone in the Trump administration not a drunk, a junky, a predator or a psycho?

Not going to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner. It’s not even a close call.

Not even close

We talked about it at 22-minute mark on our Substack Live

More of this, less of bombing other countries

Amazing! This is the line to get into Peter Buttigieg’s town hall in Tulsa tonight.
