Cat Dad
I hope you like good cat pictures and poor food photos.

- Gillibrand is in charge of that, not Schumer.
- Why would he talk to Schumer? Anybody that gets support from Schumer will not get support from me.
- @apnews.com Why don't you tout your little anti trans articles on Bluesky? Afraid the audience might see you in a different light?
- So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street
- Yes.

- Donald Trump is taxing the American people with his tariffs, and they have a right to know exactly how much. I'm introducing legislation with @raskin.house.gov to require retailers to show consumers precisely how much the tariffs are increasing the prices of their products.
- Or, here is an idea: Shut down the government so tariffs can't be enforced. The Senate sets tariff rates, not the President. Or you could step down or even just shuffle off this mortal coil. As long as you either lead it get out of the way.
- i see this and i hear "i want mothers to look into their children's eyes while they die of milk-borne typhoid"
- “When it comes to .. raw milk, I want to be free to form a relationship with a local farmer, look him in the eyes, pet his cow, and then decide if I feel safe to drink the milk from his farm.” — Casey Means, Trump’s latest surgeon-general nominee. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

- I want more children to shit themselves to death is definitely a statement to make.

- NO BACKSIES!

- Yeah. It does seem recently the tire fire has been cut with wet dog.
- The tail end was overdone so I had to eat it.

- Salt and brown sugar cured. Ready to smoke.

- Body bags.
- I've often heard gerrymandering cited as a reason the House GOP is so right-wing (and therefore Trump supportive). Since the 1970s and 80s, though, even Republican legislators from swing districts have gotten more ideological. The same isn't true of Democrats. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

- Except is doesn't have much validity. Conservatism by it's very nature rejects progress.
- That's because the rightward shift is due more to the media ecosystem they have built than grassroots change.

- PragerU CEO announces Dennis Prager has caught pneumonia and is now taking heavy doses of medication while being nearly comatose in a hospital bed. Send him your thoughts and prayers!
- Imprecatory, sure.
- Calling my very religious mom to tell her that CBS News said the cardinals are rawdogging
- There is a teen out there that is my idol.
- Ever since I got back from helping out @catcarenetworkiowa.bsky.social this guy has not let me out of his sight. It has been at least a year since he has napped on me. I think he got jealous.
- eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same
- Literally pulled this up on YouTube two days ago because I needed some hope in humanity.
- The past 5 days have seen huge milestones in CCN’s growth: 1) First social media-driven wishlist donations 😍 2) First official volunteer! Huge thanks to @hazyjay.bsky.social who scrubbed traps! What an awesome human 🤩 THANK YOU for believing in CCN’s work. Your support means everything 🙏🫶😊
- I got to snuggle and be gnawed on by Yzma. I came out way ahead on that deal.
- Eyes down, Conclave watchers! A few facts for your scorecards: - Shortest Conclave: 1503, three hours or so. - Longest Conclave: 1268, three years or so. - Last Conclave to elect someone from outside: 1378, Urban VI. - Last Pope to exhume his predecessor and put them on trial: Stephen VI, 897.
- That took a turn I wasn't expecting.
- JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%. What’s next on the agenda?
- I will pay him $100 to hug Donald Trump.
- the chief engine and joy of my life is satisfying curiosity, but in these bleak days where every bit of news is so harsh, i find myself more and more burying myself in the past and in fiction to satisfy those urges

- I say this as a survivor of abuse: Escapism is valid. You can only deal with so much pain/anxiety/uncertainty before your soul withers. Take care of yourself.
- this is obviously very early but I think at least one “solid R” seat on this map will flip

View full threadIf you think things couldn't be worse right now you aren't worthy of even this small slice of my attention.
- They could be worse. But they are pretty fucking horrible right now and I refuse to continue with the process that got us into this mess. YMMV and we are going in circles. Have a wonderful week.
- How do you know it's not?
- Lol. I don't. I know the way we have been doing it doesn't work. I want to change that. You seem to enjoy failure and misery.
- How would a 7-2 Supreme Court be different than a 6-3 Supreme Court? Sir.
- Lol. Yes. Tell me what would have been different. Would people be yanked off the street with no due process? Would funding to all minority focused programs be cut? Would our standing in the world order be in the garbage? We have done it your way since the Clintons' first rodeo. It doesn't work.
- You're proposing to do things even worse!
- You know this how? We have never tried it.
- [Not loaded yet]
- How would it be different than today? You can keep wanting to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results but I am tired of that shit.

- For the last time: Doing things your way has led us to fascism with an opposition party that is not up to the task of actually opposing. Doing the same thing again seems really stupid to me, but you do you.

- They don't utilize their power when they are in the majority, sugar.

- Yes. He had huge portions of that bill scuttled. May have even cost us this last election. Manchin is and was a cancer. Full stop. The small amount of good he did was vastly outweighed by the harm he caused.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Nope. I think Democrats should actually utilize their power when they are in office and Republicans like Manchin make that impossible.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Right. The bill he gutted so he would allow it to pass. Fuck him. You can be happy with whatever scraps Manchin deigns to give you. I want better.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Because of where it has led us. We are living in a fascist state right now because we held our noses and selected the least worse option instead of demanding a better one. Those people in Washington and Charleston are accountable to us, not the other way around.
- [Not loaded yet]
- And? He did a good thing once 8 years ago. Where was he in the filibuster or minimum wage or green energy or really anything Democrats wanted since then?
- [Not loaded yet]
- Except it isn't 50% good. Look. I get it and was fully on board until this cycle. We have done politics 'the smart way' for the last 40 years and look at where we are. Why do you think doing the same thing will result in different outcomes this time?
- [Not loaded yet]
- We lost them WITH him. What is the difference?
- [Not loaded yet]
- Yes. She caucuses with the Republicans so we don't have to fuck over poor people for her vote on critical issues.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Fuck Manchin. He just a con in blue paint.
- @steveperrywriter.bsky.social So 30 odd years ago I read the Matador trilogy and at some point I picked up The 97th Step. I have been thinking about them recently and looked them up. Holy shit! You wrote a bunch more! Thank you! I am excited to see where you take the story.
- Artificial intelligence when I was a kid.
- Our trade deficit isn’t the crisis Trump wants us to believe… It’s not other countries taking advantage of the U.S. —It’s what happens when you’re the richest country on earth with a consumer-driven economy. We import so much because Americans benefit from cheaper goods made abroad.
- You are looking at it from a rational perspective. He is looking at it as "Mine!" so every time he has to give money for something he feels ripped off.
- I'm sure that a few weeks from now we'll learn that this meeting will have involved Trump trying to strongarm studios into producing more "MAGA"-friendly movies deadline.com/2025/05/trum...
- But why? The law he is using to take tariff power from Congress states that film, TV, and services are not included. Congress can tariff movies, Trump cannot.
