The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

"Only once before has America had a president this old — and that time, we held an extended and furious debate about whether age had rendered the octogenarian unable to do his job. By comparison, discussion of Trump’s age has been quiet and infrequent." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

What if we covered Trump's age the way we covered Biden's?
His rapid decline is obvious. Why not give it the attention it deserves?

The Trump Organization will plan, build, and open 25 Trump-branded projects in foreign countries during his second term. Trump owns the company and actively profits from it, meaning his foreign policy decisions with these countries affects his bottom line. The grift never ends.

CA Voters: IMPORTANT

Crucial message from Heathe Cox Richardson for Californians voting in the gube matorial election:
"Please do not vote early - until you've watched the gubernatorial debates. Then ill don't vote early until a clear
frontrunner emerges. (Two of
debates fall after early
voting opens on May 4.
"Definitely do not vote until well after the first week of May).
We need to see Becerra, Por er, and Steyer debate each
other. After they do, one of the will emerge in the polls as the frontrunner. And when that person does, we all need to jump on board.
"There can be no supporting
ge candidate. There can be
no trying to convince people that your person is the one if they're polling below 10%, or empolling several points
behind the frontrunner. Don't eate your time trying to
convince other people to swa
over to your low-polling
candidate. This election isn't about that.
"This election is about keeping the fourth largest economy in the world out of the hands of MAGA."

A big thank you to the people who kindly contain their beloved cats. And come the fuck off it to articles like this claiming that city & suburban free-roaming cats are 'working cats' just like trained sheep dogs, because they kill mice - but not wildlife. Piping hot piffle.
A pro-roaming cat article from a blog. The headline is 'How we treat cats shows the health of a nation'. The article claims that suburban cats don't kill wildlife. And cats are 'working cats' just like rural working dogs because they kill mice. JFC. I have seen my inner-city suburb next door's cat kill and drag around two native birds in the last 3 months and shits in other people's gardens, probably spreading toxoplasmosis. People who don't contain their cats are a menace to the environment.
