Bobcats are clearing the alleys on my block, finishing the job we started last Sunday. Presumably so DPW can finally pick up our garbage on Tuesday. @thehillishome.com @hillragdc.bsky.social

Hey #StarTrek friends! With a lot of us discussing the negativity around #StarTrekSFA, how about we inject some positivity?

Please post one screenshot/piece of art/quote/whatever from Trek that brings you joy! 🖖

Bluesky haters aside, looking at a double-digit win no matter who the GOP puts up.
Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.

And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.

I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor. youtu.be/SiV3xVkX-kg

Rand Paul is on the wrong side of a LOT of things. But this is not one of them.
RAND PAUL: What if a country indicts our president for violating a foreign law -- should we extradite him or be okay if they get him by force?

RUBIO: We're always going to act in our natl interest

PAUL: What I'm saying is our arguments are empty. It's a ruse. We do what we do bc we have the force

Yes, he can say whatever he wants. But drug prices ain't going down just because Trump says so.
Trump on drug prices: "This is like hundreds of percent, depending on how you want to calculate it. You could say it's an 80% reduction or you could say it's a 1,000% reduction. You could say whatever you want."

The old "Left Behind" series should be about the US now.
The European Union and India announced a sweeping trade accord on Tuesday.

The agreement, driven by a search for new partnerships to shield their markets from America, will deepen ties between 27-nations and one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
Facing U.S. turmoil, Europe and India announce blockbuster trade deal
The accord, among two of the world’s largest economies, would create a free trade zone of 2 billion people, as President Donald Trump upends U.S. alliances and global trade.
