Trump’s foreign aid cuts have a surprising opponent: Evangelical Christians.
🧐 Discharge petition to release the Epstein Files?
They lost their minds over a tan suit and treated it like a crisis. Imagine their meltdown if he had done even a fraction of the destructive things their dear leader is doing right now.
It's really quite a thing to have a Secretary of Energy who does not understand, ummm... energy.
Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.

If you deployed to Los Angeles, you followed illegal orders. If you’re ordered to deploy to Chicago, those orders too will be illegal. If you’re in uniform, you’re subject to the UCMJ and have a DUTY to not follow unlawful orders. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
And now I just learned our president ordered the murder of 11 people. Every day a new low.
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.

Just a follow up to my previous post

This is unbelievable. Reminder the Virginia Governors race is this year. Make sure to get out and vote for @abigailspanberger.com GOP campaigning in a government vehicle.

*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.
I haven’t been on Blue Sky for so long because it’s painful to watch the America I love being torn apart from within by the orange clown. I see people panicking, rightly so. From the Netherlands, all I can do is post, which feels minimal. My heart goes out to those trying to turn things around.
Nightly, Putin’s military launches missiles and drones at Ukrainian cities, killing residents in their homes and shelters, repeatedly violating ersatz deadlines imposed by Trump to end the attacks — yet has faced none of the “severe consequences” Trump promised. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
It pisses me off that Trump will get the very best of health care at Walter Reed for whatever is physically wrong with him, while JD Vance & Republicans continue to brag about ending Medicare for the rest of us. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #trumpdead #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace
There are really no parenting choices that won't lead to criticism. Today I have people in my mentions nagging me because I (check notes) order my 10yo sons clothing for him 😭
A federal appeals court panel rejects the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to expel Venezuelan immigrants.
As a physician, I know conversion therapy is dangerous and goes against everything we stand for in healthcare. It's abusive and not grounded in science.

I do regret to inform you that the frogs and toads hibernate or at least get a heckuva lot less active in the cold weather, so there will be a drop in frog content starting next month I do, however, have ZaSu kitty, who is active all year
About to go to bed but the man who ran on "NO NEW WARS" just ordered a lethal military strike on a ship in the Caribbean, alleging it is a "narco terrorist vessel," but of course no regard for Congressional due process, no evidence, & no care for potential civilians. Nothing autocratic about this.😐
U.S. officials of both parties spent years struggling to develop homegrown alternatives to China’s telecom giants. The GOP abruptly defunded its biggest tool.

Global solar deployment hit 380 GW in H1-2025 — 64% more than last year! It took until September to reach 350 GW in 2024. In 2025, we got there by June. This isn’t just a China story—it’s 🌍. Each year we add more, faster. No orange idiot or petrostate can stop exponential change. #EnergyTransition

Breaking News: Hamlet the Algonquin Hotel cat has retired after many years greeting guests in the lobby. He has moved into a peaceful NY apartment and says he will spend his time taking lots of naps and eating lots of treats. Well done, my friend.

When my dad died, he left 12 sealed envelopes in a big box. The final one is for September, my birthday month. The copy of The Countryman is from Autumn 1968, when I was born. He wanted me to live the landscape, the people in it, and the issues they face. He'd be glad I do.
💥💥Ukrainian aviation dropped a guided bomb and demolished a massive elevator in Kherson region. Turns out occupiers turned it into a training center for drone operators and a command post. ✅ Found fast, buried even faster.

The US military will conduct a flyover of the White House and wider DC at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday). Epstein’s victims will be holding a press conference on Capitol Hill around the same time.
The FAA’s much-hyped hiring push has attracted thousands of air traffic controller applicants, but now the agency does not have enough qualified instructors to train new recruits.
WTF! Seriously?
In 1941, at the age of 36, Greta Garbo, one of the biggest box-office draws in the world, stopped acting and, though she lived for half a century more, never made another film.
Given that the general strategy of this administration is to try small transgressions and, if they don’t get pushback, go bigger…letting them extrajudicially kill people in international waters seems bad.
It wasn't a great last week of the August recess for Republican members of Congress. At town hall events across the country, attendees booed, laughed, jeered, and demanded answers as their GOP representatives tried to defend President Donald Trump’s agenda.
in case people wonder what my cat looks like irl :p
Wouldn’t it be funny if he just keeled over and died right in front of the cameras at his press conference? I’d laugh.
RFK Jr looks like that one guy in every zombie movie who gets bitten but refuses to disclose it out of stubborn egotistical idiot selfishness, all while getting progressively clammier and more unhinged, until he finally goes full monster and gets spectacularly killed

REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”
This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time. #CaptainAmerica
“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.
The Billionaires& repubs in congress who prop up the Trump administration are throwing the MAGA working class crumbs & telling them it's a loaf of bread.
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
That's not true at all. My two cats meow if I go to the bathroom without them. When I leave the house, they would sit in the window waiting for me to return. Just bcuz cats go out of their way to avoid you doesn't mean they don't miss their hoomans
Parents' dog and I were in love, but I wasn't there a lot. When I arrived, he'd growl, bark fiercely - until he got my scent, and then "OMGwherehaveyoubeenIloveyoucomeonhome!" Once established again, BFF and no problems. Dogs are very devoted WHEN they recognize you!
*DOG: “You're finally back! I missed you so much!!”

And MTG was so enraged about the need to make the "Epstein List" public 🤣 It just occurred to me that she could actually be ignorant enough to believe that her idol, Felon 47, did not participate in the raping and trafficking of young girls. Hard to imagine that level of blind stupidity and denial.
So if anyone would like to get out of their hot climates and move to a super lefty community in the Pacific NW, I just went to the open house for this amazing place. It says two bedrooms but there are also two large "bonus" rooms share.google/NtrElqCDiZP6...
On 05/02/1933, Hitler abolished all unions, sent union leaders to concentration camps and seized their $$$. Hitler II just got started on this yesterday in the U.S. Happy Labor Day to the workers of this country. Not.

Republicans vote with Trump because they are afraid of being primaried by him. At this point, shouldn't they be more afraid of being primaried by us and, more importantly, their own constituents? Seems like they need to make some choices!
You know you’re a winner when you leave Putin looking like this.
When are people going to wake up to the fact that he’s crashing the economy on purpose. He has plenty money and resources! When we have no money, no jobs, we will be powerless and completely at his mercy!
Ice, DEA, DHS, National Guard, army, local police, state, police. They all need to just be called TRUMP’S AGENTS” from now on. They all work for him. And will all be deployed to stop a free and fair midterm election. Mark my words, friends.
This appears to be a straight-up murder.
She is the most corrupt AG in our history!
She is no hero or but a traitor!
