This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

"the documents were so restricted that top Justice Department security officials reacted with surprise to the code names: They had never heard of them before. Some involved special access programs that required the president or a cabinet member to grant approval to view."

Feliz Día de los Muertos, California!

Today, we honor our loved ones who’ve passed — building ofrendas, sharing stories, and celebrating the joy and love they brought into our lives.

May their memories continue to guide and inspire us.

This is Tender. He has parvovirus... and he's NOT thrilled about it. His littermate already passed away, but Tender is showing signs of improvement. You can help us cover the cost of his hospitalization and continued care below ❤️‍🩹

I want to cry.
Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

Thank you for sharing this. Nearly every dog I've loved has had Valley Fever. Fluconazole and Terbinfine help, but they can cause long term health problems.
In AZ, it's not if you'll get Valley Fever, it's when.
I look forward to the vaccine for dogs and horses, and ultimately for humans!

Let’s help.
