Republicans can’t be bothered to negotiate with Democrats to stop your insurance premiums from skyrocketing—but they have no problem with Trump bailing out Argentina with $20B of your money.
So much for America First!

Q: What is the benefit for the US in helping Argentina?
TRUMP: Just helping a great philosophy take over a great country ... we don't have to do it. It's not gonna make a big difference for our country.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

LOVE the pic of the Superboy action figure in front of the comic— in the EXACT SAME POSE! Genius! Thanks, @jeditimesaiyan.bsky.social!
1/2 @karlkesel.bsky.social I finally got this action figure today!! It looks so good! Another Superboy action figure arrived a couple days ago and the back of the box has a reprint of the first issue, so I used that as a backdrop for this photo-op! Love that it’s a tiny leather jacket! Also,

As my wife said: "We can't do much, but we can do this." And I increased my sustaining pledge to NPR. Working and caring for my family take up most of my time (and money!) but if things keep going in this direction, and I have the opportunity to do more, I will. We all have to be ready for that.

SUPERME COURT, Prt 2: The conservative's pro-Trump rulings are like someone trying to keep a zombie at bay by feeding it only one of their fingers at a time. But soon it'll be a hand… and then an arm…

NOT THAT ANYONE ASKED, but it seems clear to me that the Supreme Court's conservative justices are carefully ruling in Trump's favor because they know if they ruled against him he'd ignore it & they'd be instantly irrelevant. They are trying to keep the court viable— in their own, cowardly fashion.

While I LOVE Harley, one of my big probs was that she was a MURDERER! (I'm Old School like that.) My work-around was to embrace her insanity and show how she saw the world as a cartoon, and that removed her from the reality of what she did. That it tied into her animation roots was a plus.
What a brilliant concept by @karlkesel.bsky.social, @terrydodsonart.bsky.social and @craigrousseau.bsky.social in those early, original Harley Quinn issues of seeing the world and her actions through the cartoonish lens of Harley’s eyes with one art style and the gruesome reality in another.
