Our spoiled baby in blue operates resolutely on her own schedule. Upon leaving her stable in the morning, Kipekee ambles about and then saunters over to a bench for a scratch. All the while, an army of nannies tag team with each other to ensure this beloved infant is never left alone.

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects.

Israel bombed and murdered the Prime Minister of Yemen along with several cabinet members, and there is zero outrage in Western media… it’s barely even a story. The level of impunity is breathtaking.

This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down.
The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.

Donald Trump turned a booming economy into a stagnant one in record time.
His war on affordability and small businesses are having real impacts — from his chaotic tariffs to his job and economy-killing immigration raids.
California will continue to fight back.

Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo.
Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.

When I heard the Trump administration was making big changes to the Endangered Species Act this spring, I wanted to know what difference it might make for species already on the verge of extinction. Often, these policy shifts make headlines, but it's hard to quantify the consequences.
The Extinction Administration
Some species almost certainly won’t survive if Trump’s planned changes to environmental protections go through

Talek is known for her independent nature - when she's not with best friend Pardamat.
This likely comes from her rescue story. Found alone in the Maasai Mara, she'd latched onto a bull for protection. Rescued by our SWT/KWS Mara Vet Unit and flown to Nairobi Nursery, she immediately settled in.

Toto has brought joy and chaos in equal measure — like this moment, where he keeps purposefully collapsing on the mattress Joseph is trying to move. From a mystery rescue to a little elephant with big bravado, Toto’s story is only just beginning.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.
Tomorrow is the cloture vote.
KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️
Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.
Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Trump's EO to expand tree cutting across 280m acres evades the Endangered Species Act.
This move is similar to instructions by Trump to use the "God Squad" to push through fossil fuel projects even if they imperil at-risk species. Experts have said this overriding of the ESA is probably illegal.
