Late to the #TerrierTuesday party. Ping Pong's #pethate is for his two mortal enemies - the washing machine and the dishwasher! He goes bonkers and barks his head off when we run either one of them.

One of my least favorite fundraising email tactics: the fake “open letter.” They can be thank-you letters, demands (like this one), or hate letters, but they all end with some variation of “I’m signing this letter & chipping in $3 to ____.” This crap must work, but why?

I spoke with Mitch McConnell for about 20 minutes tonight and then he was like "Oh, wait Lindsey Graham just showed up, wanna talk to him?"

A late entry for #TerrierTuesday: here's Ping Pong on his first day home in January 2024. (He'd just turned 1 in December 2023.) #Gotcha

As Pride Month ends, a reminder. (Also, fuck SCOTUS.)
"With June being pride month, I wanted to take the occasion to clearly say this: I unhesitatingly & wholeheartedly support my lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer friends, their rights, their marriages, their pursuit of happiness and their breath. 

This is also true July through May."

(1) The party of Jeffrey Epstein wants genital inspections for teen athletes. (2) Every time conservative justices can destroy a campaign finance law, they will. (3) Upholding birthright citizenship should have been unanimous. That it wasn't shows how extreme the Court conservatives are.

Around 2005, when I worked at the Chicago Tribune, I almost literally bumped into Jesse Jackson on my way out of Tribune Tower one day. It took me a moment to realize who he was since he was dressed very casually.
