With enough gardening projects going at the same time on the front porch, eventually the UPS driver that keeps dropping MORE plants says, "Do you need help?" I think he meant, "Can I call someone for you, because this is insane." All I can say is, "Welcome to gardening brain." I'm ok, but also not.

If 'Wednesday' isn't using the Chase Holfelder "Major to Minor" version of 4 Non Blondes (as well as all of his other creepy-ass stuff) of "What's Going On", then the makers of "Wednesday" are missing quite a few tricks. www.youtube.com/channel/UCS1... Do it.

It’s only been a few months since Trump accepted a luxury jet from Qatar. He said it was “just a gift”. Today Hegseth announced that Qatar would be building a base on American soil. To be clear that’s not a gift, that’s a bribe.

I actually hate companies that don't get that some people, not even old people, have bad issues with large jars. I currently hate Lidl US. I've been trying to open this jar for 9 hours. I finally gave up, hit it with a hammer, and hope I'm not eating glass shards. Fuckin sort your shit, arseholes.

The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. The president's job is to "faithfully execute" the decisions we've made and he has signed into law. He may not impound, redirect or confiscate money outside federal law.

Whether it’s a $700 billion cut or a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid, Republicans are fighting for a bill that could shutter rural hospitals and nursing homes, kneecap community health centers, and make it harder for people to get health care. And for what? Tax breaks for billionaires.

I'm still thinking about you 24 hours and 5 years after your death. I'm so sorry, sweet boy. You called for your Mama as you knew you were dying. I remember you, sweet Georgie boy. I remember and won't forget. Dat boy called for his Mama as he lay dying. *broken*

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

I need Katy to sit All. The. Way. Down. Her 'girl boss' gibberish? Fuck me. That shit might have flown when she was 30, but she looks stupid as hell at 40 damned years old spouting it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... And then there's Gayle King, who I have always respected. That shit is over.

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

GOP Senators voted to cancel Donold’s tariffs on Canada. I almost forgot that Congress could rebuke him if they really wanted to.
