"..Biden offered these people the most draconian anti-immigration policy you can imagine and they were like “nah, not racist enough.” Democrats must understand that moving the party rightward to appease Republicans can only ever end with absolute Republican supremacy. This is how fascism metastases.."


"..So, House Republicans are gonna impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas instead of pass a border security bill.

"...'Reality check': Buttigieg busts Republican’s claim of infrastructure support


U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) was served a “reality check” by U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg on Friday, after the pro-Trump election-denying Republican repeatedly took credit this week for a massive infrastructure project in his home state, funded by President Joe Biden’s legislation the Minnesota Congressman voted against.

This is happening because the Biden infrastructure package passed, despite your ‘no’ vote,” wrote Secretary Buttigieg on social media, in response to Rep.

You definitely need to support your local Girl Scouts...but this local Girl Scout Cookie Mom would love to send you a couple of boxes - plus they freeze! Speaking of which. I think I have some in the freezer.

"..People sometimes ask, "Why are there no pictures of Earth from space where you can see stars in the background?" Well -- there are!

This is one of my favorites. Apollo 16 carried an ultraviolet telescope that took this marvelous image of Earth nestled among the stars in the constellation Aquarius.."

I love them but I don't eat that much sweets, it would take me forever to get through a case. I still have a box of Trefoils left from last year.
