Down at the Grebe Factory interviewing the new apprentices for the Western Grebe Taxi Service, I'll thread in stills/video as I process them As a primer, here's THE BEST WESTERN GREBE MATING RITUAL FOOTAGE OF MY LIFE Warning on this thread: too cute for doom Skip to :41 for just rushing. 🪶 🐣

So fvckin good!

Joe Kernen comes close to having a coronary on air as Pete Buttigieg dogwalks him all over the Squawk Box studio about Trump's economic mismanagement and inflation

This delivery driver throws treats to all the dogs on his route to see if they can catch. Spoiler alert: some of them definitely cannot. Still 13/10 for all (TT: jezzyvi)

Four years ago Russia began it's full scale invasion of Ukraine. They expected it to fall in days. They were wrong. Long live Ukraine.

The reference to families is the extra touch that makes Trump a lowlife thug and Trump followers fucking trash.

“Please get the truth out about our son.” Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

This is Kevin. He's a reactive dog getting some training to be more comfortable. His trainer brought him to a pet store for some socialization where they learned he is no longer reactive when given a giant stuffed dinosaur. 14/10 (TT: katieandtatesfostermates)

Not to mention the Fvck You’s, flip-offs, and Quiet Piggy’s. The Felon in Chief couldn’t be more unfit for the office of POTUS.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

“During the government shutdown last year, the administration froze or canceled more than 200 projects that primarily were located in Democratic cities, congressional districts and states.” The most partisan, anti-American administration in modern history

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files. Change my mind.

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”

SIDE-BY-SIDE The original sentencing memo against Taylor Taranto Then... the new sentencing memo against Taylor Taranto, just submitted by Justice Dept Reference to Jan 6 is eliminated

NEW: Trump's DOJ rewrote a federal sentencing memo — erasing all references to the Jan. 6 attack and Trump’s social media post that shared Barack Obama’s address. The career prosecutors who wrote the original memo have been suspended. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A man was arrested for playing Darth Vader's theme music, "The Imperial March," behind National Guard troops walking through Logan Circle. Now the ACLU is suing on his behalf. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ICE agents greeted by a hero on arrival in New York this evening. Make statues of this.

Is antifa in the room with us now?

I think we get used to stuff, like the proverbial frog in the pot, and lose track of how absolutely humiliating it is to have a belligerent, altered buffoon representing our nation and spewing gibberish on the world stage. But sitting him next to a normal person brings it home.

Ground Swell - 1939

Trump just blamed Ukraine outright for Russia’s invasion. ‘You shoulda never started it,’ he said. What a lie, a Russian lie—from the President of the US.

“You should have never started it.” Such ignominious ignorance. Such betrayal of our ally. Such a cowardly surrender.

President Trump is firing American workers who monitor bird flu outbreaks, safeguard nuclear facilities, and now those who promote American history in Dorchester – all to help pay for tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations.

Indiscriminate mass layoffs by Elon Musk are ravaging key programs, depriving our people of nuclear safety inspectors, air traffic controllers and food safety inspectors. These cuts crush democracy and devastate the livelihood of tens of thousands of public servants.

Where law ends, tyranny begins.
