Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

      Looks like there’s a spot over his right shoulder that needs filling.

      Sweet Henry all cuddled up on his big bed with all his stuffies.  The perfect picture of a content pup with not a care in the world.  As it should be.

      My late lamented German Shepherd ( best dog ever!!!) had this thing about black noses on stuffed animals. She bit them all off. Large stuffed bears. Tiny stuffed mice. Stuffed coyote. It it was a stuffed mammal with a black nose, she would bite it off.

      She died many years ago. Only this last week did I stitch black satin noses back onto all those stuffed animals. There were a lot of them. They do look much better now.

      @sab:  My sweet Tucker would eat the face of every stuffed animal first. Then he would chew off the appendages.

      there might be a cute little pink leg in the picture. I’m not sure I kept that one around because it reminds me of Tucker.

      Appeals Court Allows Trump Order That Ends Union Protections for Federal Workers

      A famously liberal circuit court ruled in President Trump’s favor, authorizing a component of his sweeping effort to assert more control over the federal bureaucracy.
      A federal appeals court on Friday allowed President Trump to move forward with an order instructing a broad swath of government agencies to end collective bargaining with federal unions.
      The ruling authorizes a component of Mr. Trump’s sweeping effort to assert more control over the federal work force to move forward, for now, while the case plays out in court.
      It is unclear what immediate effect the ruling will have: The appeals court noted that the affected agencies had been directed to refrain from ending any collective bargaining agreement until “litigation has concluded,” but also noted that Mr. Trump was now free to follow through with the order at his discretion.

      U.S. health officials have told more than a half-dozen of the nation’s top medical organizations that they will no longer help establish vaccination recommendations.

      The government told the organizations on Thursday via email that their experts are being disinvited from the workgroups that have been the backbone of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

      The organizations include the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

      “I’m concerned and distressed,” said Dr. William Schaffner, a Vanderbilt University vaccine expert who for decades has been involved with ACIP and its workgroups.

      He said the move will likely propel a confusing fragmentation of vaccine guidance, as patients may hear the government say one thing and hear their doctors say another.

      My former golden loved squeak toys. She would bite them, then let them squeal slowly and piercingly by letting the air back in gradually. It drove me nuts. I switched to only outdoor squeak toys, the rubbery heavy duty ones that lasted longer for the big dog any way, and made her leave them at the back door. She was a good dog, but sometimes she did try to sneak one in the house. A really good dog. She used to come to the back door when she wanted back in, and give one polish woof, then wait.

      Gvg:  My former golden loved squeak toys

      About 50  years ago our family pet dog would get a squeaky toy for Christmas and the squeaking drove him nuts.  Finally he figured out that he just needed to remove the little noisemaker and the squeaking stopped.  From then on every time he saw a squeaky toy he would pounce on it, remove the squeaker, and from then on just ignore the toy,

      Our two greys have lots of toys. One of them is an enormous bear that each likes to steal from whoever currently has it, and occasionally that develops into a very amusing tug of war.
