I obtained ~dozens of hours~ of previously unreported recordings of Russ Vought's briefings from 2021 to 2024.

Want to hear the recordings yourself? Watch @propublica.org's

And eliminate the word trump from the English language. I don't ever want to hear it again in any context. Even in card games.
This week's #showmeyourknits inspired me to start making hats for charity, something I haven't done for quite a few years. These are the two I made so far this week, modeled by my Vermont teddy bear whose head is too small. These will go to the unhoused in southeast Michigan next month. โ™ฅ๏ธ #knitsky
These press conferences would be more meaningful if we had the REAL president available to answer questions. Where is President Miller anyway?
Even my mail is pissing me off these days. ๐Ÿคฌ What was @aarpfoundation.bsky.social thinking, putting Stallone on the cover as an "American icon" ? ๐Ÿคฎ He's as M@GA as they come, and I had to block out his face before I could even consider reading this issue. Still might not.... #boohiss #aarp

Why is Voughtโ€™s role as Trumpโ€™s budget director so key to the presidentโ€™s plans?

โ€œEvery goddam thing in the executive branch goes through OMB,โ€ a former official explained. The agency is the choke point for $7 trillion in federal spending.
What You Should Know About Russ Vought, Trumpโ€™s Shadow President
Vought is the architect of President Trumpโ€™s broader plan to fire civil servants, freeze government programs and dismantle entire agencies. Here are some key things to know about the D.C. insider who ...

I offer you a much-needed kitty timeline cleanse of Sophie getting a great face and neck massage. She's getting old and is often anxious because of reduced hearing and vision, so I try to comfort her as much as I can these days. Such a sweetheart! #catsky #pets
Wow, I've been on Ravelry for more than 15 years and I never knew this was there! Thank you!

I'm a knitter and my therapist is a crocheter, and we talked about this. She says that knitters look down upon crocheters. Some may, I don't. I just don't like the look of crochet fabric, but I didn't tell her that. Tried to make her feel better by saying that crochet looks too difficult to me.๐Ÿคช

This is heartbreaking and surely not legal to do this without congressional approval. This is OUR house, damn it. #whitehouse
JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trumpโ€™s $250 million ballroom โ€” despite earlier claiming it wouldnโ€™t โ€œinterfereโ€ with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)
Are you on the premium plan? If so, that's why you don't see ads. I'm on that plan but just the fact that they're running the ICE ads is enough to make me cancel them. I'm switching to Tidal.
I'm switching from Spotify to Tidal as soon as the AWS outage is resolved. Hopefully tomorrow. The ICE ads were the last straw for me. I pay for premium Spotify and don't see ads, but just knowing that they run those ads is a deal breaker for me. ๐Ÿคฎ
Gorgeous sweater, and I'm getting a strong Paul McCartney vibe here!

Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterdayโ€™s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting โ€œone personโ€ for major cities)
Yeah, for sure. I got rid of my entire CD library years ago, and now I'm regretting it big time.
Thanks, I'll look into that! That's the part I was dreading, having to rebuild all of my playlists.
Mine would put me in bed for 24 to 36 hours, with horrible pain. Took days out of my life every month. I think it's worth it for you to get Imitrex even if it only happens occasionally.
#showmeyourknits theme this week is #hats. I haven't knitted hats for a while, but now I'm motivated to start doing some for charity. Here are a few from my Ravelry projects over the years. #knitting #knitsky
