1930. Discovery of Pluto at Lowell Observatory. A bit faint but recognizable nevertheless.

A man with a spine would resign in protest.
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

In tomorrow’s piece, Jay Kuo will dive into the details of the GOP's recently adopted draconian budget resolution. And yesterday, Todd Beeton looked at budget director Russell Vought and explored the roots of his theory of an all-powerful president. Don't miss either piece from The Big Picture!
This Week In The Big Picture
Last night, the GOP-led House passed a budget “blueprint” that aims to extend $4.5 trillion in tax breaks, with the lion’s share to the uber-wealthy.

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)

Happy Flag Day!

We're not flag flying people. The last time we raised a flag was in solidarity with the United States in the wake of September 11th 2001 when we proudly and emotionally flew the Stars and Stripes.

The insulting rhetoric about annexing Canada should remain unthinkable.

Well, that’s alright then. You’ve got it from an objective unimpeachable source.

Dear @cnn.com
Invading sovereign countries is the work of fascist leaders.
Referring to such threats as "teasing" is what compliant state propaganda does.
Just as Trump takes lessons from Putin you could get workshop training for your editors from Russian state media.

Canada will resist.

Getting our historical parallels straight.
Hitler teases German expansion

The chancellor-elect has suggested a territorial extension into Austria, the Sudetenland and Poland. If he's serious, it would rival the Treaty of Utrecht.

I posted this lesser known quote to Facebook the other day. It seems even more appropriate now.

“The era of procrastination, of I half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences.”
