BREAKING

Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading?

IT'S HAPPENING.

James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.

I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.

I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

I suppose these fucking morons think we could have negotiated with Hitler too. They really think we can negotiate with Putin??? Who happens to have an arrest warrant for War Crimes?? And continues to slaughter innocent civilians. And he won’t stop with Ukraine. Have they been eating the ice cream too fast resulting in severe brain freeze? Culminating in relentless stupidity?

I love your picture, Karen. tell me a bunch of stuff about YOUR beautiful companion and why've you been holding out on us? I'm never altogether sure what these guys mean when they talk about "negotiation." the supporters of what is pretty laughably referred to as "realists" (the Mearsheimer/Kissinger types) might have some points to make on a theoretical level about how we might have mishandled relations with Russia since the USSR collapsed, but even a bunch of them were shocked and horrified a…

Hi David, My beautiful, Siberian Husky companion is Natalie. She was my best friend for almost 15 years. She died several years ago and of course my heart was broken. She was so sweet and loved everyone. She went everywhere with me except work of course, although she would have been a great therapy dog. I miss her still and wanted to honor her by posting this picture. We were at the coast in March and she so happy. Aside from playing and tunneling in the snow, running on the beach was her favor…

Rescue a senior dog if you have room in your heart/mind! If you do not, well, no judgment from me. I know how much losing a canine friend hurts.

After Natalie died a feral/abandoned kitten showed up and I started putting food out. I didn’t know the gender until she had kittens. Before I could live trap them and get them fixed mama kitty had 4 more kittens and 2 of her first litter had 11 kittens between them. It took me close to 1 year but I finally was able to catch them and get them all spayed/neutered and vaccinated. I was able to tame several kittens and adopt them out and my neighbor took several. I now have 6 that have become my p…

that's beautiful. if I had the right kind of space, I'd already have been doing it. I once (say, fifteen to twenty years ago) had this idea of buying a little place in the country and doing just that. but, while I make friends easily, the main people in my life are HERE, and I can't do without them. and, I hope, vice-versa. but, responding to Penfist, I've long considered doing just that, based on my own current and abiding physical issues. ALL of my dogs have been rescues. it only makes sense,…

It is really painful when we lose them. Natalie was a rescue too. She was picked up running around a town in eastern Oregon and nobody claimed her. She was around 6 months old. She ended up at a rescue near Hood River and I went to meet her. She was sitting on top of a dog house and our faces were at the same height. I said hello and she put one paw on my right shoulder then the other on my left. We locked eyes and she licked my face. Her paws felt like she was hugging me. That was it, I was in…

it's hard to tell from the picture, but did Natalie have that thing where one eye is blue and the other one's brown? it has a name, which escapes me. but I've always thought it was amazingly cool. I see it in Huskies a LOT. also Aussies and (more occasionally, I think) Border Collies.
