This is the 🧵 where I'll be posting photos/videos from inside a bluebird box. I'll document a bluebird family as they set up housekeeping, lay eggs& raise their young, until they fledge. Yesterday mom bluebird checked out the bluebird house, determined it was fine & today's Day 1 of nest building

Somehow they wrote plenty of words about cheesecake. bsky.app/profile/empt...

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Like most things there’s a tax policy solution to this!

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

To recap— Obama clowned Trump’s decorating taste, and they tried to turn it into an attack on the common man whose affordability concerns Trump is belittling as he crushes farmers and workers with a pointless war of choice to build himself a giant ballroom and pockets billions🤷🏼

Major press failure: treating Jared Kushner taking foreign bribes and shaping US foreign policy as less relevant than Hunter Biden not taking bribes nor influencing policy. Covering Kushner accurately was considered partisan, biased. Lies about Hunter or his minor actions treated as more important.

Jesse Watters thinks that Barack Obama doesn't have much of a legacy and that Trump's presidency will be talked about for many years to come. He then mentioned that Trump has sons and grandsons and that Obama only has daughters....so much to unpack with this one. 🤦‍♀️

Jawdropping.

A-fvcken-men!!

Gov. Shapiro delivers a blistering assessment of Trump's Iran war: “He had no idea why he was going in. Never made the case to the American people.” Shapiro points to 21 American families who have lost loved ones, skyrocketing fuel costs, and a $3,100 “CHAOS TAX” hitting Pennsylvania households.

What a disgusting pig.

Geezus. They’re eating their own.

“I just need to find 11780 votes” I know who said that Gimme my million dollars mthrfkr

If everyone in this administration's face doesn't look like this yet, we're doing it wrong.

An op-ed appears over the name of Mitch McConnell in today's WSJ warning Trump over his concessions to Russia. No one thinks McConnell actually wrote this piece. It's a mystery who did. Maybe WSJ will tell us some day. www.wsj.com/opinion/codd...

Obama is one hell of a closer Vance is one hell of a loser

Encouraging sign that Democrats will play hardball if they win the midterms.

You can read all about Trump's love for little girls in the House Judiciary Dems' 50-page report released this morning. He has a particular fettish for crushing their nipples as he molests them, it notes.

Keep spreading hope by using your superpower - voting! Yesterday, Lula stayed, Vucik lost- tomorrow Netanyahu, next Tuesday we send Republicans packing and hold Trump to account! Thanks foe including me!

In short - DJT & Pu want to “decide and divide” whatever Pu couldn’t conquer among themselves. Nope.

This is the grave of Technical Sergeant Leonard Maltovich. It does not bear his name because he intended it to be a monument to all gay veterans.

Here is a clip of Steven Cheung asking Nicki Minaj questions about Trump and the economy, the midterm rallies, and the current polls Nicki appears to be looking off to the side to read the points they want her to hit in her answers This is such an odd video

NEW: In rare Sunday arguments, appeals court judges skeptical of DOJ’s California election lawsuit. The lawsuits in California and Alaska are expected to fail — but they also show how far A.G. Todd Blanche will go to advance Trump’s aims. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump would have gone in the military, he would have been the guy that wet his bed, cried for his mom, went hysterical, and would be carted out in the middle of the night. The man’s a coward. He’s a bully. All bullies are cowards. That’s why they’re bullies”

A win for the resistance! Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated Flávio Bolsonaro to remain president of Brazil, dealing a major blow to the far right in Latin America. Ketchup will be flying tonight at the White House! 💚✊

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet.

This took me out ☠️ 😭

Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

It should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”

A new study shows that more than 80 percent of voters want prediction markets to be more tightly regulated or even banned outright. bit.ly/4yC9uVB

“He’s got the White House looking like saddam Hussein opened a Taco Bell” Happy now?

After watching East of Eden and trying to explain to folks how I feel about it, I find this piece by @gregolear.bsky.social captures it perfectly.

Blanche lies. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
