- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)you guys are missing some incredible content on X
- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)I don't think it's a coincidence that cops started acting extra out of hand once we let them wear military gear. Make them wear clown outfits for several years to restore humility to the job
- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)We strongly advise the public not to do this, it’s unsafe. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted photos of himself and his grandkids swimming in Rock Creek, a Washington waterway so contaminated with sewage runoff that swimming has been banned citywide for over 50 years.
- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)Oh… So that guy from The Real World, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, rescheduled his wife’s flight out of Newark to LaGuardia? If this guy doesn’t have the confidence in the FAA or the airport that’s under his control, then he shouldn’t be employed anymore.
- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal. Then she fired that lawyer.

- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)"This is naked corruption on a massive scale. But at least the golf stuff is covered by a tiny fig leaf, ostensibly separating the Trump Org and the Oval Office. Now, less than four months into his second term, Trump is ripping the bandaid off and discarding all pretense." -- @lizdye.bsky.social

- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.
- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)Bribery is an impeachable offense. Trump isn’t just breaking norms, he’s selling U.S. influence to the highest bidder.

- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/
- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)Odd that those criticizing @gtconway.bsky.social for endorsing Diane Seltzer because he isn't a member of the DC Bar, ignore the fact that I have as well and I am a member. Vote Diane Seltzer for DC Bar president.

- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)I’m so tired of the incompetent tomfuckery. He caved. He created the problem and now they’re trying to sell this like it’s a win—because ports were EMPTY. Lowering tariffs for 90 days doesn’t create economic stability—it does prove how stupid he is. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/b...
- Reposted by Janet and Iris (the pup)The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?
