I used to do semi-important stuff - perhaps now is the time to jump back in. Blue skies ahead, indeed. In no particular order: (former) Dem campaign staffer, attorney, 'Hoo, Loyal Little, Irish Catholic, history major, beans, proud Army wife, Éamonn's mom
Fun fact: when we were building WWII Memorial on the Mall it took forever - literally years not months - to get approval: multiple presentations to Comm on Fine Arts (cfa.gov) & Natl Cap Planning Comm (ncpc.gov) for each & every step but worth it #bestjobever www.wwiimemorialfriends.org/design
Former special counsel Jack Smith also described President Trump as the "most culpable and most responsible person" in the criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results, according to a transcript of Smith's closed-door interview with the House Judiciary Committee. n.pr/49cmd6E
Bring on 2026! We are so ready for it. Even let Little Man stay up. There are good years and bad years & while 2025 was not a bad year, it was definitely not a good year (except 10 days in SoCal & a few other gems). We hope to have a nice, quiet, uneventful year & that everyone is happy & healthy.
Dispatches from court: when you wear blue pants with a black blazer, be sure to find a colleague in black pants with a blue blazer. #oops #courtfashion
The only silver lining in the pardon of Juan Orlando Hernández is knowing the amount of time Emil Bove spent prosecuting him is for naught. #karma #pardons

@dgcomedy.bsky.social Excellent solo outing today! Brava you diva! 🎙️#dailybeans
So the cost of The Ballroom has gone up 50% just as the tariffs have kicked in. #karma
A very good read and word to the wise. ballsandstrikes.org/nominations/...
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
Some scenes from the Army 250th today. We decided not to let the event be hijacked by the parade tonight. So glad to see others there. #resist #nokings #armystrong
Update: 5+ hours in, down to 19% of ALX (13k) + another 30k out in FFX. No estimate for repair or word of cause from @dominionenergy.bsky.social But found camp light and charged all devices at a friend's. Pups is dealing well with his first outage.
Current sitch: 90 mins after 5 min violent storm, power still out in 25% of ALX (15k) + another 28k out in adjacent FFX. I expect it will be a long night.
I've said it before (ever since I saw her new haircut/hairstyle): Amy Coney Barrett is going to save democracy. #thingsIneverthoughtIdsay #ruleoflaw
🚨BREAKING: Federal Court BLOCKS the Trump administration’s unlawful reorganization of the federal government. Congratulations to @democracyforward.org, their co-counsel and clients on their amazing work in securing this victory.
This is amazing.
Confirmation could be difficult. Pirro is believed to have only tenuous support from Grassley & Thune, though she has the unqualified support of Bartles & Jaymes.

So, if we can survive until July, #southpark will have new episodes chronicling the downfall of the US (go Canada 🍁)
this! 100% So many R friends/relatives go on & on about transgender issues but have no idea D. Cheney endorsed Kamala, or that former national security officials signed a letter, or even that he intentionally took classified docs & didn't return them when asked. How can we break their news bubble???
I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader.
We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.
Imbeciles are running the United States Government

If it's already my birthday at home but not yet where we are, does it count?
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Alan MacLeod (@AlanRMa ...). The post reads: "What stage of capitalism is this?" Below this, there is a headline from CNN Business that states: "Florida debates lifting some child labor laws to fill jobs vacant by undocumented immigrants." The post was made 7 hours ago.
We’re in an era of unbelievable headlines.
