"What happened last night is the most direct assault on the authority of Congress, I believe, in the history of the United States. It is blatantly unconstitutional," Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) says of Trump's OMB halting all federal grants.
"If this stands, then Congress may as well adjourn."

Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.

Apple has opted iOS and MacOS users into an AI photo scanning feature which tries to extract landmarks from your photos called Enhanced Visual Search by default with little notice.

In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding.
This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

I am watching the Boston Fleet—Toronto Sceptres PWHL game tonight with my family. My dad is “impressed” with the quality of play and my sister is actually paying attention!

I finished knitting a cardigan for my sister the other day and it’s now on my blocking mats. But then I decided to embroider the ribbon I’m using to trim the inside neckline and I am so bad at embroidery. The best I can say is that it’s legible because I traced the letters onto tear away interfacing

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.
Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Yesterday I finally got to use ”rookie move, bucko!” after it’s been rattling around in my brain for two weeks. The dam has broken and I’m about to be saying it many times a week. Sorry not sorry in advance.

I am with my aunt who has insisted we leave 1hr early to go 5 stops on the subway and walk 6 minutes. She’s convinced we’ll be late. We’re going to be 30 minutes early.

This tendency is everywhere that everyone should be an unpaid political consultant for the Democratic Party. It’s so twisted. It’s fine to just say things you believe in! Things you think are good and things you think are bad! That’s enough for 99.9999% of citizens
