My boys knew I needed some comfort, so tonight they took turns sitting on me. May I present Izzy, Toby, and the old man, Benny.

Glad ICE is getting called out for plate swapping in Illinois, but this has been happening in California from the jump.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.

Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

BREAKING: The top federal prosecutor in Maryland has reportedly notified Pam Bondi that she sees no basis for Indicting Adam Schiff on mortgage fraud.

Who wants to bet that the prosecutor will be fired within days, and a new prosecutor will seek to indict Schiff regardless?

A consequence of Trump wanting to deport a million people per year and swell ICE’s ranks by 10,000, as well as there being virtually no accountability in the U.S. national security state
