I always enjoy when flower posts come across my timeline, so here's mine. Got these peonies from a family member that lives on a farm. I'm in love 🥰 #bloomscrolling #flowers #peony #peonies

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?

Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

Oh how I love a colorful lampshade, here are two. This is a great example of masterful mixing of prints and color. I love it.

Hey Merrick Garland, fuck you forever. Through your inaction, you enabled this blitzkrieg against the rule of law and democracy.

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

I dunno it seems destabilizing to create a cadre of heavily armed extremists who are fanatically loyal to the president and have reason to believe they are legally untouchable.

I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM.

I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.

Grocery and gas prices on the last of my weekly shopping trips before it takes office. It ran primarily on lowering these prices and promised in August 2024 that we'd see lower prices on "day one"

I'll be tracking the prices on these products monthly.

Bravo, @anntelnaes.bsky.social.

I guess the new slogan for the Washington Post ought to be:

“Newspapers die in cowardice.”

This is an oligarchy.

The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER

Stop the oligarchy

So I was about to take off from DC to Hartford but the pilot suddenly went back to the gate and hasn’t told us what’s going on…and my seat back monitor is stuck on Fox News.

In case you’re wondering what hell looks like
