There’s a steak ready to go onto the fire, and the furry land sharks are circling (check out Saffy’s strategic positioning and stealthy Hannah near the back porch door).
And don’t get me / us / Jews started on “Judeo-Christian” in the mouths of politicians….
A dozen fresh baked carrot cake cupcakes.
This morning’s project. MUCH more rewarding than political palace intrigue! #IYKYK #CarrotCake
We did it!!!
SB 2880, an extreme anti-abortion bill that would have had nationwide impact, and SB 16, Texas’ version of the SAVE Act, are dead.
We ran the clock out. They won’t even get a vote in the House. That’s a HUGE fucking win! #txlege
Open grill in a carport looking out over green lawn and woods in the rain…slight glow of embers backdrops a glass of wine and a steak waiting on a plate. Below the grill, a dog is also very interested in the steak!
It’s my last night of semi-retirement before heading back to part-time work tomorrow…and it’s pouring down rain, but I’m not complaining - we can use it, and that’s what carports are for! Cheers!

Straight up mobster shit.
To be clear:
Assaulting police officers and destroying property on January 6? Totally fine. Pardon them all.
Showing up at an ICE Facility to demand due process? Criminal.
The Republican Party is irrevocably broken. Vote all these idiots out.
A four-minute capture of this morning’s winged visitors. “The hills are alive…” 🎶!
Nope, it belongs to the last several administrations, Biden, Obama, and Trump 45 included. I gave a talk at the FAA on systems engineering and integration of commercial space launches into the NAS for the NexGen ATC update
…in 2010.
15 years ago. And it’s still not here.
It is a sad day where Republicans can’t cheat and pervert justice and suborn judicial fraud their way into an electoral victory. I thought this was America.

An important public budgetary database has been taken down. The database, required by Public Law 117-103, tracked federal expenditures so citizens can hold the White House accountable how their taxpayer dollars are spent.
Eliminating it is a violation of federal law. rollcall.com/2025/03/24/w...
That's the core issue. The journalist couldn't have been invited if the "responsible officials" were using secure protocols for planning, tracking and discussion.
Doonesbury comic pointing out that the Clinton Administration significantly downsized and consolidated hundreds of federal agencies without disrupting essential services (and by following the law).
I’ll just leave this here… #Doonesbury

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

It is a beautiful morning in #DC.
The governor of Maine is a 77-year-old in the middle of her second term in office and therefore ineligible to run for a third.
But King Trump here tries to intimidate her by saying she'll have no future career in politics if she dares to stand up to him.
I think she's all good, man.
