Was breakfast served early?
A slice so we can see the crumb?

Start keeping a log of good things that happen to your parishioners so you can share that joy. Thereās probably countless things you hear about but your mind draws a blank.
Newsom: They play by a different set of rules . And we can sit back and act as if we have some moral superiority and watch this almost 250 year experiment be washed away. We are not going to allow that to happen. We have agency. We can shape the future
It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.
The Day I Tried to Live by Soundgarden and Rain When I Die by Alice In Chains.
The weather forecasts have already gone to crap.
And knowing how to answer it. This is the so and so residence.
First time I remember one of those carts being rolled into the classroom.
Ken Paxton is a massive piece of shit who worked with anti-abortion activists to find abusive men willing to sue over their exās abortions. I guess thatās my way of saying: if Ken Paxton got you pregnant, hit me up at tips@abortioneveryday.com
Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?
Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history. How did he do it? NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs. Socialism works
More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.
Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
The next few days are going to suck for pet parents. Itās 10pm and Iām trying to explain that I donāt control fireworks to a 14yo Siamese cat.
Yes, Murkowski and Collins do have this exact pact. Itās been an open secret for years. And the gullible voters in their states keep falling for it.
This is not normal

I thought it was about one of Elonās rockets until I saw the date and lolād. Saw someone say he still needs to answer for his tweets from the 1700ās.
True but heās reframing the issue.
The unspoken lede. Most of them probably had the childhood vaccines and were/are protected.
andrew cuomo is emblematic of everything people despise about the democratic party and zohran is everything people want in politics, he represents hope for a better world
what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily ā and deliberately ā all over Los Angeles for 18 days.
I need a historian to weigh in. How many chucklefucks have started wars?
You lose healthcare. They gain yachts. Keep spreading the word.
ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.
I've tried to go further than this and point out that the public rejects the core MAGA ideology driving mass deportations at a very deep level. Trump admitting that deportations hurt the economy showed that MAGA politics on this is unsustainable. Dems blowing this: newrepublic.com/article/1968...
Many progressives are hesitant to support Gov. Newson because of his obvious, blatant political opportunism. When blatant political opportunism works in your favor, embrace it. Politicians are tools. Use them properly.
The Onion is getting some serious competition.
It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.
This is how you normalize authoritarianism.
Reed: "You signed a contract with a company to reconfigure the [Qatari jet]. What is the price of that contract?ā Hegseth: āThat cannot be revealed.ā Reed: āThis is the Appropriations Committee of the United States Senate. We appropriate the money that you will spend.ā
We feed you. They hunt us.
Pour one out for @aaronparnas.bsky.social Heās going to be busy.
I just finished it and will watch it again so I can catch everything. Absolutely loved it.
Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Loved Dept. Q on Netflix so I guess it will be cancelled.

I think it depends on the state. But if you can compile marriage, birth, and death certificates showing your connection you should be able and to get it.
Is it just the ones who are inside someoneās womb? Asking for a friend. FFS.
I donāt know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldnāt be run like one. Itās a serviceāfor the people.
Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.
Iāve had enough internet for today.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.
Do we stare into the abyss and scream into the void? Or vice versa?
Sure, letās dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country weāve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

You see Keith Lee is in NC? Was in Clayton yesterday.

Make it into a retrospective of all the places the typo has been. The Adventures of the Misplaced Letter.
Sinners was absolutely amazing. Make sure to stay for the mid-credits and end-credits scenes.

Is he confusing it with D-Day (June 6, 1944)?

Effective Corporate Tax Rates 1950: 50% 2025: 13% Top Marginal Tax Rates 1950: 91% 2025: 37% If youāre curious as to why the rich have so much and you have so little, these are good places to start.

Dear senators who think you canāt do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing youāre thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us
Even with the tariffs itās still cheaper.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.
This. Also under what authority are they being held. They are not serving criminal sentences. They are not in pre-trial detention for pending immigration charges. And they are not being held in order to facilitate deportation as they have already been removed.
What a joke.
My sister didnāt vaccinate her kids cause she was scared of autism, and Iām sure you can guess what happened.
Donāt get it twisted. Republicans' SAVE Act is an undemocratic voter suppression bill that makes it harder to vote for service members, married women, rural voters, folks of color, & millions of other US citizens. I voted NO. 19thnews.org/2025/04/save...
Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
The most important thing you must share today. Trump is destroying your life savings and ability to make a living for 1 reason: he wants to make us all beggars who bow to him, his donors and his family. Not sure why @chrismurphyct.bsky.social hasnāt posted this here but canāt be posted enough.
There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
oh look it is possible to create a news cycle messaging opportunity and excite the electorate if you energetically try to (do absolutely anything differently whatsoever), who on Earth could have predicted it
Sen. Bookerās speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?
Are you that discontented DOGE staffer? It might be time. You can reach out to me on Signal at joshtpm.99 (I'm not like Mike Waltz; I know how to use it.) You can also get me at joshtpm at protonmail dot com. Are you a federal worker with information I need to hear? I want to hear from you too.

Absolutely horrific.
Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 ā governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !
The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. Itās between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.
Seriously. Wtf.
I was at a Jerry Cantrell concert and a teenager wondered aloud āwhy are all these old people here?ā
