Almost missed my flight to yell at Ted Cruz who was holding a press conference next to the security line at the Houston airport. Almost every single TSA agent thanked me for calling him out on his BS lies. They know Rep's are responsible for the government shutdown

My friend’s mom asked if I wanted to participate in this cute little project for his child, creating some art for a letter in the alphabet. I got the letter F (for frog) so here is my contribution. What do you think?

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Sharks are older than trees 🤯

Sharks emerged ~400 million years ago.
The first trees appeared ~350 million years ago.

In that time, sharks have survived all five mass extinctions and remain one of the oldest living vertebrate lineages.

How crazy is that?!
