A 7-year-old lioness reunites with the man who raised her after she was abandoned as a cub 🦁❤️ He slept beside her outside so she'd grow up as naturally as possible. Now she tackles him with love-hugs, face rubs, pure joy-until they collapse in a pile of trust. 🫶 #WildBond #HeartmeltingNature

How the fuck do we live in a country which might be about to elect an arsewipe who as recently as 6 weeks ago thought Trump was a clever guy and a great President and we should “cut him some slack”??? #NewsCorpse #TemuTrump

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Trump is putting a lot of federal workers out of work but he is providing lots of employment for at least one group of workers: fact checkers. It will take them days if not weeks to list all the falsehoods in this speech. All the faux facts about supposed waste rooted out by DOGE!

Regional Express to be government-owned if airline fails to find buyer

The federal government says it is prepared to acquire Regional Express if administrators are unable to find a buyer for the collapsed airline in an upcoming sales process.

My take, essentially, is that we could be weeks or maybe even days away from the disintegration of the rule of federal law in this country. At some point this administration is going to stop obeying court orders. What then? Nothing good.
