If releasing the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

James Talarico: I don’t see politics as left versus right. Billionaires are using their wealth to rig our political system. They own the media and they own politicians in both political parties. They’re using that wealth to divide us, and I think people are tired of being pitted against each other

We had our RBT Club Open Show this week in Yorkshire, mostly in the rain. Maude did us proud, winning Best Veteran in Show, as well as 1st in both the Good Citizen Class and the Fancy Dress Class. How can you not love a Big Black Dog dressed as a Nun!?

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.
Print it.
Put it in a frame.
Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

Maude and I encountered a magical leaf during our morning walk, on this grey and chilly Sunday. Having had a good sniff, and determining that it was not edible, she quickly lost interest. But I couldn't resist filming it dancing around in the air, seemingly with a mind of its own - full of delight.

Blimey. They kept that quiet.
“Trump dutifully expressed his delight at the honour of being the first US President invited for a second state visit, paid his compliments to the King – though through a verbal slip-up appeared to praise Charles as “a very special man and also a very special Queen”…” inews.co.uk/opinion/stoo...
Stood next to King Charles, Trump echoed the message of the far-right
Even in the most gilded of surroundings, the nastiness of Trump’s brand of politics showed through

Celebrating 7 years with our sweet girl Maude, who stole our hearts from the moment we saw this puppy picture of her. She is Our Lady of the Significant Glance and has very revealing (and often hilarious) facial expressions. She is goofy, and funny and so loving, and we absolutely adore her.
