“A demolition job that began Monday with the disappearance of the White House's eastern entrance advanced Tuesday with the destruction of much of the East Wing, according to a photograph obtained by The Washington Post and two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the scene. Photos of construction teams knocking down parts of the East Wing, first revealed by The Washington Post on Monday, shocked preservationists, raised questions about White House overreach and lack of transparency, and sparked complaints from Democrats that President Donald Trump was damaging "the People's House" to pursue a personal priority. "They're wrecking it," said Martha Joynt Kumar, a political scientist and professor emeritus at Towson University in Maryland. "And these are changes that can't be undone. They're destroying that history forever."”

"Why doesn't Chicago want us to zip-tie more naked children in the middle of the night and shove them, screaming, into vans? So ungrateful for refusing our kind, helpful offer to help!"

White text on black background X post: Attorney General Pamela Bondi @AGPamBondi X.com We have seen it firsthand in D.C. and Memphis: when mayors, federal agents, and local police work together, violent offenders get arrested and citizens become safer. Why would Chicago refuse that kind of help?

Of all the luggage and bags I have (and I have a few) the thing I most like traveling with is this shaped bolga basket.
(Not terribly airplane friendly so I use it for car travel without a plane segment.)

Dearest, kindest Jane Goodall. Thank you for your lifetime of loveliness.
Here is my favorite photo of her with another of my favorites: Greta Thunberg
Greta Thunberg wearing a blue shirt looks to the right at Jane Goodall. Both looking like the absolute cheeky angels they are.

Twitter post: White text in black background by Jon Favreau @jonfavs Is this what you wanted, @StephenM? A mother who was 5 months pregnant - who'd just found out she and her American citizen fiancee were having a boy - lost her baby after federal agents in a detention center repeatedly denied her pleas for prenatal care. Lived and worked in Tennessee for years. Detained by ICE for over a month. Forced to sleep on a prison cell floor. Served food with cockroaches. Said she was starving and having stomach pains. Guards told her it was normal. Begged to be deported so at least she could get prenatal care in Guatemala. ICE refused. She delivered her stillborn baby in front of two guards who shackled her feet. Then, for two days, she wasn't allowed to call her fiancee or talk to anyone. She cried alone, and was deported to Guatemala shortly after the stillbirth. DHS has only said they'd review the case. "Worst of the worst", right @TriciaOhio?

Who thinks that congress should be Under Oath the minute they start talking in the building?

Also how many of those babies 175 years ago made it to adolescence much less adulthood because of polio, measles, TB, DYSENTERY, malnutrition etc.

Disingenuous idiot.

Black text on white background:The Response Is Spot On.... White text in black background:Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog The birth rate in 1850 was almost 300 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age. In 1950 it was 106. Today it's 55. Half of what it was 75 years ago. 20 percent of what it was 175 years ago. We need to start taking this problem seriously before we march into our own extinction. Alex Cole @acnewsitics We're not going extinct, Matt. You're just mad people aren't having babies for your demographic. Birth rate panic is just code for 'we're losing our grip on women and minorities, and we don't like it.

Mariann Brooks Until 1964, an employer could refuse to hire someone just for being a woman. Until 1965, it was legal for a doctor to refuse to prescribe birth control for married women. Until 1972, it was legal for a bank to refuse to let a married woman get her own account. Until 1972, it was legal for a doctor to refuse to prescribe birth control for single women. Until 1974, it was legal to refuse to sell a house to a woman. Until 1988, it was legal for landlords to refuse to rent a unit to a woman with children. Your granny didn't stay married because her generation had a stronger moral compass than people today. She stayed because society LITERALLY stole away all her independence. Think about that the next time someone wants to go back to "the good old days". It was only good for men....and only for men of a certain demographic, if you catch my meaning. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Black words on a cream background Header: FINANCIAL TIMES Text: Once Trump has most law firms, universities, news organisations and private companies under his thumb, it will become almost impossible for any form of opposition to gain traction. His weaponised Department of Justice can arrest protesters and there will be fewer lawyers to defend them. University research and academic discussion of ideas that run counter to the Trump ideology will be threatened. Private companies will not object as the rule of law collapses. This is not some innovative new strategy - it is the global playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever.

With #altText and mocking Ted Cruz, an absolute wanker.
A twitter post by Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert “This is how you write a headline.” Quote posting San Antonio Express-News @ExpressNews tweet reads “Sen.

Greenland has a major military facility to assist NATO in protecting Europe from foreign aggression...like Ukraine, and Poland next in Putin's sights -Panama has sanctions against Russian vessels travelling through the Canal, Putin wants those sanctions lifted -Canada has territorial rights in Arctic oil/gas reserves and the maritime routes, Putin wants those rights demolished. -Who is Trump working for? NOT the US when he treats American allies like adversaries in furthering Putin's interest

Hair is getting long enough that I need to start adding layers here and there so it doesn’t just lay there (like a dog after overdoing it at the dog park.)

Going from short to long again is quite tedious.
