Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.
No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
A budget is a moral document.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Rep. Nancy Mace: "I believe Pam Bondi has been less than truthful with the American people and Congress on the Epstein files. I want to know where the files are that were on her desk, because they're not in the hands of Congress ... I want to know why this is continuing to be covered up."
If you are near Minneapolis, visit her bookstore, Birchbark! "The Sentence" centers around the bookstore!
Library Libby app screenshot of the cover of The Sentence, a novel by Louise Erdrich, and an audio player showing I am 10 percent into the book.
Entering my Louise Erdrich era. I think after work I'm going to decorate some houses in The Sims and continue listening to The Sentence, narrated by the author. I'm about an hour in and hooked! Our library has a lot of her work. I've bought quite a few in paperback, but...I enjoy multitasking! 📚 🎮 🖥

The fuck kind of answer is this
MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”
Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.
War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.
"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)
Bunch of Senators on both sides sounding the alarm about possible boots on the ground in Iran after their classified briefing today.
I was told Kamala was going to send my children to fight in Iran. What happened?
NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities
McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes*
Arkansas state house special election.
Flip from R to D.
We are entering a new planting and cropping season with far fewer farm workers. Farm jobs' minimum wage and working conditions are not palatable to Americans.
Increasing gas prices from war and tariffs are going to make prices spike.
Expect food prices to go even higher.

It's infuriating and frankly disrespectful to call our modern-day Gestapo, aka ICE, "law enforcement officers." They're nothing of the sort. Real law enforcement protects (or should protect) people. ICE terrorizes them.
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest comes as U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer separately faces mounting pressure in the wake of the files’ release.
Beluga Point just south of Anchorage Alaska. The white dots in the water are wild Beluga whales. Foreground includes yellow grass and pine trees overlooking a small bay. To the right, the coastline jets toward Anchorage.

if i drove my car it would be a boring stop & go 15 minute drive each way 😾
And 47% are brain-dead MAGA Trump supporters.
Unilateral tariffs ruled illegal.
Millions of Americans struggling to get by.
Epstein Survivors waiting for justice.
A President threatening war with Iran.
What are Republicans running next week? Two home appliance bills repealing energy efficiency standards. That is the state of our union.
📹 NEW from KSDK News: hundreds of people in St. Louis marched to Enterprise Center on Wednesday and dropped a banner to demand Enterprise end *every* contract it has with ICE!
LOL so DOJ is refusing to release about half of the Epstein documents it has.
What an absolute joke.
Ida B Wells in the 1920s. She is a Black woman with greying hair.
#OnThisDay, 30 Jan 1913, Ida B Wells forms the Alpha Suffrage Club in Chicago, Illinois, to give a voice to Black women who had been excluded by national suffrage organisations because of their race.
