A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
they both like this basket - Mia prefers to lie on it
the calls are coming from inside the house
the keep is a central more secure part of a fortification
good morning
Thank you Eric Dane for joining us in this critical movement!
you can’t fault his work ethic when it comes to relaxing
good morning
Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.
the shower supervisors here take their jobs seriously
Yes, Fox News Host Brian Kilmeade really said this about homeless people: “Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill 'em."
In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.
In a shocking on-air moment, a “Fox and Friends” co-host said homeless people suffering from mental health issues who refuse help should be killed
We're at a point now where a Fox News host can just casually suggests killing homeless people with a lethal injection on air and no one bats an eye but a MSNBC contributor gets fired for calling Charlie Kirk "divisive".
she’s determining if it’s safe to go in and check his food bowl for leftovers
The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters. Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence. These docs show she did not. www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...
NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.
roofing over for the day and Finn has emerged from hiding
For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.
Can someone in the legacy media explain to me how this is not front page news? How is it that only Democracy Docket is covering this unfolding authoritarian takeover? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
The US is the sickest country in the world because of income inequality. Lack of healthcare. Food deserts and extreme poverty. It’s not vaccines. It’s not going to be solved by gutting the CDC & pushing raw milk. Give people healthcare, housing, food & a basic income.
I don’t want to alarm anyone but I have just captured the cutest pics of Fin and Mia ever
good morning
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
It is wild that the Washington Post -- which claims "Democracy Dies in Darkness" -- has remained completely silent for more than a day about Trump's latest attack on free and fair elections. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Finn doesn’t really use his window seat so I am trying to interest Mia in adding it to her property portfolio
Finn likes to attack from below like a shark
Mia’s two tone colouring continues inside her mouth which I have always found interesting
good morning
due to popular demand I have done some complex calculations using photos from earlier and a measuring tape - Finn is about 1m long when he stretches out
Your messaging on this is not good. People think you’ve just turned on homeless people. Explain to people how you will help these people cleared from encampments. Most people do not know your policy. They just think you’re cruel. Detail the policy, so people understand. This is your Achilles heal.
good morning *yes of course I said big stretch as required by law
some happy Mia purring
#Pinks #ProudBlue If you live in GA., you better make sure you’re still registered to vote. Hundreds of thousands have been taken off the voter rolls, especially young black people. GOTV. ✊💙 georgiarecorder.com/briefs/georg...
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
With so much sadness recently wanted to bring you a happy update 😊. Here is Greg who came to us traumatised from his time on the streets. For months he hid in his kennel with no interaction, but we were not going to give up on him. And just look at him now, one happy boy 💖
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
new box just dropped
It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even like sending my kids to school anymore. We don’t have to live like this.
I spotted this dog in Delhi, India at the weekend out of the corner of my eye. He was being beaten. Luckily we got him to safety. His recovery has started
This is 100% correct.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Mia ascends to her widow seat
KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.” He was just taken into ICE custody.
Did you know there’s a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate? I had no idea. Just saw it on Tik Tok. Now…just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?
the keeper of the thongs is a fearsome beast who takes his responsibilities very seriously
🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
@rokhanna.bsky.social: “Only 3% of the documents given to the [House] Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.” khanna.house.gov/media/press-...
I love the way Mia tucks her little feet up

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?

I love how happy and cosy Mia is in her window seat
legend has it that cats love ping pong balls but these two must have not received the memo
Today’s a big day—brave little Rebar is on the adoption floor! Found tangled in razor wire, she’s endured surgeries, a tail and toe amputation, and infections, purring through it all. Now healed, this fighter is ready for her forever home. Meet her at the shelter 11–6 and ask about adopting Rebar!
Mia is all fired up this morning and she’s been charging around, much to Finn’s consternation
releasing Finn so they can both go and check for dinner leftovers
good morning
flawless technique here for entry to the tower of solitude

Mia is a dainty cat grass grazer unlike other local residents
I made the decision to run for Congress because my community has given me and my family so much. I know it won't be easy, but my community and the entire 4th district deserve representation they can believe in and trust and who they know will fight for them.
NEW: Sen Whitehouse is asking for the following info on the sex offender status waiver and subsequent transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell. I got some of these answers in my reporting. If you work at BOP & have the answers, my signal is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous. open.substack.com/pub/muellers...
The Washington Post published an opinion piece from one of its writers in which he writes: "Nobody is pure in this debate, but the fact that both parties have felt the sting from gerrymandering should be an opportunity to find common ground." I wish I was joking.
they’re waiting for me to go to bed
for those interested he still loves the wall

good morning
she’s so happy sunbathing in her window seat
We just walked into an animal shelter because we drove by and saw they were having an adoption drive. Then the volunteers there told us that this sweetheart has been in the shelter for over a year. But they’re waiving the adoption fee for folks who come in to adopt Radar or another cat today.
this window bed has an incredible ROI compared to most cat products
