Friends! It’s time to say goodbye to Cousin Teddy. He has now gone home, but here’s a snapshot of what we did before he left. After a rocky start with the Triplets, we all had a lovely time together. Hopefully we’ll see him again soon ❤️

NEW: Pope Leo XIV said on Sunday that doctors had found a nodule on his lung and that he would have surgery to remove it at Rome’s Gemelli hospital early this week. He told pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square that it was “detected at a very early stage” and asked them to pray for him.

Pope Leo XIV to Undergo Lung Surgery at Gemelli Early This Week
“I have decided to have surgery,” the 71-year-old pope told St. Peter’s Square. His candor caps a half-century turn in how the Vatican talks about a pope’s body.

Chums! Baby Dog here. I thought I should teach Cousin Teddy a few things whilst here, so I showed him my Post-Shower-Routine. He took notes and attempted to copy. I was quite impressed. A huge thank you from Mum for your continued Get Well Wishes. She she has ‘turned a corner’ and is on the mend ❤️

Friends! Having Teddy staying with us has illustrated how possible it is to train dogs not to chase cats! Teddy has come a long way from his first night here, when our house was like an episode of Tom & Jerry. Everyone has pitched in to help. Well done to the whole Team! We worked it out together! ❤️

amid protests, the Grand Saline, TX city council voted 4–1 to evict Pip, the library cat, over scratching & biting. He'll now live with the librarian. a cat was installed in public office, performed public service, & was removed for being a cat. this is injustice. this is a crime. Justice for Pip!
Pip, a black-and-white cat wearing an orange collar, stands on a dark patterned carpet, looking upward with wide, alert eyes. His ears are perked up, his tail is raised, and he has a small black heart-shaped marking on his nose.

Friends! Some mysterious gold stuff appeared yesterday for the Little One’s birthday. I didn’t want to walk through it and the Triplets were also very suspicious… Mum is still quite poorly, sadly. Thank you for still talking to us, even though we can’t reply much at the moment ❤️

If you think Trump’s “musings” and “jokes” are not worth headlines, no matter how shocking or offensive they may be, then you haven’t been paying attention. The past decade and past week show they're too dangerous too ignore. My new piece at @contrariannews.org www.contrariannews.org/p/dont-dismi...

Friends! Baby Dog and Cousin Teddy are doing such a great job of sharing the Favourite Armchair. I’m really proud of them. Especially as Mum is still poorly and feels “rotten”. Luckily there’s a sofa for her to lay on because she’s got no chance of relaxing in the Armchair!

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Chums! Baby Dog here. It’s #ThrowbackThursday so I wanted to remind you of the very early days we had with the Triplets. Here, I was trying to teach them how to play Peek-a-Boo with the cushions, but then I got worried when Percy figured out how to jump off the sofa. Happy days!

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:
