I love lovely things, and I dislike willful ignorance.

My beautiful pink spotted loosestrife just got a trim to get away last year’s wilted flower pods and she has grown herself a whole new little plant! Looks like the fall transplant was a success!

Dignified, respected, respectful, loved, noble, composed, intelligent, caring.

No drama and no scandals, just two hard working men who did the work required of them.

Our children’s children will admire these men in the years to come. #ReleaseTheUnredactedEpsteinFiles

A great blue heron comes up empty beaked while ice fishing in Longmont, Colorado.

A great blue heron comes up empty-beaked while ice fishing in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the heron stands nearly chest-deep in a small opening in the frozen pond near the shore, shown in right-side profile. It has just lifted its head from the water, sending droplets splashing in all directions, with large beads cascading from its head feathers. Its neck is stretched forward and its head slightly bowed, poised to strike again. The final rays of sunlight illuminate the front of the heron, while both the foreground and background remain frozen solid. Photo by Kort Duce

Pay $165 for a passport or lose your vote. That’s the modern-day poll tax Republicans are pushing with the SAVE Act.

I'm pretty confident we wouldn't be seeing Kamala fighting to protect herself from allegations of raping children, nor her staff being dragged in front of Congress weekly for lying about raping children and murdering citizens.

Sampson is VERY invested in the agility competition. He literally is getting mad and hitting me with his paw when I try to change it. 😂🤣

I would like to know has anyone ever voted without showing their governmental issued ID and being registered to vote with their town?
I have to show my ID twice and be checked off a list before I vote even in town elections where I know everyone.
Our regular IDs are voter IDs.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

My dad walking in this front yard. It just happens that his front yard is on the coast of Panama, and they were getting fog off the ocean.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross

KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement

BRENNAN: His name is public

NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said

Mr. Sampson Longears dreams about the warmer days so we can start up our national Park hikes again… until then he has stolen the best chair in the house.

Nikki Glaser calls out CBS News at the Golden Globes while it’s being broadcast on CBS.

“And the award for Most Editing goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News, America’s newest place to see B.S. News.”
