The pawsibilities are endless…
Soft! What light through yonder cat flap breaks?
It is the East, & Juliet that traversing warm sunlight on the bed…
She speaks, yet she says nothing (but meow)— she is a cat.
A paw! A paw! My kingdom for a paw!
A pox on both your litter boxes!
This is a crime against humanity. Justice must be served. All hands on deck. @PAWSDetroit and @RoaryNFL should each head up a search team, with @TheRealSparty on standby for any necessary enforcement.
MISSING... Detroit, we need your help‼️
Our beloved Friendly was stolen from a member of our staff’s car during a break-in last night!
Most important to us is that our teammate is safe. They’re dealing with the stress and disappointment of the break-in but this isn’t on them. We take care of our people, and we’re asking our community to help take care of Friendly by keeping an eye out and sharing this post.
Last seen last night in the New Center Area near E Grand and St. Antione. Let’s bring Friendly home⚜️
🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) said in a yet-to-be-published proposed rule Friday that it’s drawing up plans to radically crack down on mail voting by sending ballots only to voters who are registered with the federal government. https://t.co/CtdWu9VyhI
Let us learn to be rich in a different way: more attentive to relationships, more intent on valuing the common good, more attached to the local area, more grateful in welcoming and integrating those who come to live with us.
This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.
Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.
IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.
The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.
The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.
Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”
Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.
The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.
This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.
Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

Yesterday, Rep. Tsernoglou held a presser on her resolution to probe Epstein’s ties to Interlochen Center for the Arts.
Today, Speaker Hall removed her from all committees, & continues to quash the bipartisan human trafficking package to help survivors and punish traffickers.
A Democratic lawmaker said she was stripped of House committee roles after calling for an investigation into Epstein's ties to a northern Michigan arts school. https://t.co/VjxrBt44X7
Let me get this straight:
• Trump sues the IRS (which he runs)
• Settles for a $1.776B slush fund with zero oversight
• His pardoned allies — who owe $1.3B to victims — get to dip in
• Victims get nothing
• We pay for all of it
Vance: There is a simple principle I have: If you are committing fraud against the American people you ought to go to prison. If you are a public official not fighting against fraud, you ought to have your money taken away because you should not be able to steal from all of you and give it to fraudsters.
Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol.
He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars.
You could not make this up.
5 yrs later Trump is putting significant federal resources towards an election he claims he won despite no evidence & multiple lost court cases.
Epstein pled guilty to sex crimes with a minor in 2008 yet zero federal resources are extended to help victims or release the files.
A president's trading of securities for his personal account can in no way be argued to constitute activity that falls within the "outer perimeter" of his "official responsibilities." If it is based on inside information used in violation of his fiduciary responsibilities, it is brazenly criminal conduct, and he would not be immune from prosecution for that criminal conduct even under the Supreme Court's 2024 decision in his favor in the Jan. 6 case.
NEWS -- President Trump is expected to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration, sources tell me @PCCharalambous@alex_mallin https://t.co/tuEUDtJvks
