We lost our boy. Not yet 9. As an Anatolian shepherd at heart, he brought merriment and was a kid at heart. Please keep Shelton in your hearts and help him find our loved ones who will now take care of him on the other side of the rainbow. We love you dearly bubby. ❤️ 💔💔💔

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

Project 2025 called for gutting the EPA's scientific research office. In under a year, the Trump Administration has done exactly that, taking a division of more than 1,500 scientists down to 124, reassigning doctors and epidemiologists to finance offices and hazardous waste permitting desks that have nothing to do with their expertise.       For more than 50 years, that office produced the independent science behind every major clean air and clean water protection this country has. It existed specifically to be free from political interference.       The scientists who remain answer to Trump appointees, and their work must now conform to the Administration's agenda.        No other institution in the United States can replace what's being lost. Once that expertise is dismantled, it doesn’t come back in a year or a decade. It’s a generation of progress erased, deliberately, methodically, and exactly according to plan.   nytimes.com/2026/04/27/cli…

"So how do you get from $3.3 million to $17.4 million?" The same way you go from $200 million when it was going to be paid by donors and private companies to $400 million when it's paid for by US taxpayers. As a member of Congress you should stop such abuse of power and corruption

@RepMikeLevin @ohiovoter4145 Is Trump getting a 2.5% cut like he is the ballroom?!

@TruthJustis4USA @RepMikeLevin @DebbieSVA Yes. The answer to both is YES.

@RepMikeLevin @DebbieSVA It’s not only this. Trump is paying two the three times to value of the warehouses he’s using to house detainees. He’s either the worst businessman ever or someone is profiting big time off of the fraud and kicks backs in these construction projects. Gee, I wonder who…

This is the question worth asking every time a story like this comes out: if there’s no money for your health care, your kids’ schools, or the programs your family depends on, where is it going?      The Trump Administration just paid $17.4 million to fix two decorative fountains outside the White House. Three years ago, the same job was estimated at $3.3 million.       And guess what? The construction company that got the contract is the same one building Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom, and they got it without any competitive bidding whatsoever. The contract wasn’t even posted publicly, as required by federal law.      So how do you get from $3.3 million to $17.4 million? They added 27% for inflation. Then they added another 24% for inflation again. Then they tacked on additional charges that federal contracting experts said they had never seen before in their careers.      And the justification for bypassing the normal bidding process entirely? The fountains needed to be ready for America’s 250th anniversary. It’s worth noting that these fountains haven’t worked for nearly a decade. If the repairs were truly that urgent, why are they only fixing them now, and why are taxpayers footing a surcharge for the rush?      You are paying for this.   nytimes.com/2026/04/25/us/…

@SkinnerPm Ope! Nevermind, I now recall the blondies being outside your mom's house. Obviously, I did miss that you'd socialized (as always) them and they'd moved in. Are they inside or outside kitties?

@SkinnerPm Wait, aren't those two the ones taken in by Kitty Kate? I know she was seriously ill. What have I missed?

No video cuz I’m always running around but every morning I go to mom’s and give her breakfast etc etc. and feed her kitties. And holy moly is Blondie 1 affectionate now. demands love and rubs. Follows me around. Just a very lovey cat. His sister Blondie 2 is getting there…

@OurShallowState @gtconway3d Happen to have a gift article?

I can't imagine a better candidate than George. He knows precisely who and what Trump is and he can discuss it eloquently. And he knows the law, that thing that Trump tramples on daily. There's no candidate that Trump would rather see lose than him. washingtonpost.com/style/2026/05/…

Hey @TeamYouTube... Please restore monetization to @InspireThriveYT I've learned so much from their content. I also have shown these to my therapist to help explain how in feeling or thinking. You MUST restore their ability to earn money on their hard, but critical work!! 🙏🥺

HOLY SHIT. This is EXACTLY how you cook a misogynist.

Everything that made our country great is being destroyed by this regime. The firing of the National Science Board will have grave consequences.

A new Banksy sculpture appears in central London….people are saying it is depicting "a politician or other official blinded by patriotism and walking directly into danger" 🔥 Banksy confirmed the work is his by posting this video on his IG👇

One of the Defense Secretary's top advisors also maintains a private law practice. Hegseth can't say if he represents foreign governments. There's massive corruption & conflicts of interest under his failed leadership of the Pentagon.

That’s right, not even the Supreme Court is off limits. Clarence Thomas, Harlan Crow, Anita Hill, private flights, billionaire gifts, and a lifetime seat with way too many receipts. The robe has receipts.

Jimmy Kimmel, with the 🎤 drop. 😂🤣👇

John Marck refused to answer Senator @ChrisCoons's question of whether President Trump is eligible to run for president in 2028. This isn’t a trick question – it's in the Constitution. If you can’t say a president can’t serve a third term, you shouldn’t be a federal judge. 🚩

Trump didn’t recover from bankruptcy. He got rescued. — Early ’90s: drowning in $3.4B debt Casinos collapsing. Assets seized — At the same time: Russian capital floods into Western real estate — Trump properties allow anonymous, all-cash buyers — Buyers and partners tied to Russian organized crime — His model shifts: Stop building → Start selling the name Funded by foreign money. U.S. banks cut him off. Russian money didn’t. That’s not a coincidence. That’s leverage.

@SkinnerPm Oranges! It's great to see some of them! 🧡🧡🧡

Friday breakfast with four of the seven Eastside Orangeys. The rest slept in cuz they trust us. We love these gangsters
