Nuggets of joy, where ever you find them. 'Toddler mad': DeSantis is going Looney Tunes over GOP diss. www.rawstory.com/…
Ron DeSantis is spittle-spouting, white boot-stamping, holding-his breath-till-he’s-blue, screaming-till-he’s-sick mad. He’s toddler mad, Elmer Fudd mad: like, vewy, vewy angwy. The Florida Legislature has defied him; dissed him; insulted him. They showed up for the special session he demanded, gaveled in, gaveled out, and declared their own special session. Then they trashed his hateful immigration bill and passed their own, infinitesimally less hateful, immigration bill.
Read the rest. Its brutal. And high-larious!

I have four words. Fuck You Mitch McConnell.
x This asshole could have ended it all by voting to convict and remove. He can fuck off with this late stage bullshit.

Following up on the Tarriff Liquor War with Canada.
x Here's a fact most Americans don't know:
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world.
The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits.
We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

Thank you Doug Ford for reminding Americans what a spine looks like.
x Ontario's Premier says the province will be "banning American companies from provincial contracts" in the wake of the Trump tariffs — including with Elon Musk. "We'll be ripping up the province's contract with Starlink." "Ontario won't do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy." — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1.bsky.social) February 3, 2025 at 9:55 AM

Remember, they want you exhausted and defeated. Just because their lips are moving, it doesn't meant what they're saying is true.
x Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

Wait, I thought FIDJT was the bitcoin master. Him and his bros..?

x “Musk’s DOGE crew lacked high-enough security clearance to access that information, so the two USAID security officials — John Vorhees and deputy Brian McGill — were legally obligated to deny access.”

I know the bad news keeps flooding in. But there are people out there fighting the good fight. This is gonna make one helluva Class Action lawsuit.
x Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly — Mark Lemley (@marklemley.bsky.social) February 3, 2025 at 5:18 AM
x Lawyers Mark Zaid, Norm Eisen, and Nancy Gertner of Democracy Defenders Fund threaten to sue DOJ over fired prosecutors and FBI agents. Your turn, Senate. Bring Bondy and Patel back for more questioning.

if you can't visit in person, call your senators, regardless if they're R or D. Give the dems some support and give the rethugs a piece of your mind.
x Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If you need some pointers on what to say or how to say it.

This is a long thread (or whatever it's called on Bluesky). Click the Sky to read the whole thing.
x 1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.” — Rick Wilson (@therickwilson.bsky.social) February 2, 2025 at 7:02 AM

Evening Shade Seekers! This isn't happy, but it is National Four Chaplins Day. Heroism, Service and Sacrifice. Character worth celebrating.
Happy Women Physician's Day! For two or more legged critters. Or no legs at all…
Happy Feed The Birds Day! (Long)
Happy Golden Retriever Day! (Long)
AND Happy National Carrot Cake Day!
Tomorrow is National Hemp Day and National Homemade Soup Day. Mmm, garnish!
