Went to See's candy pushing mom with one hand in the wheelchair and pulling the 02 canister with the other trying not to destroy all the displays.

I was like a bull in a candy shop.

The Trump admin has no business investigating Jack Smith

Or having Trumpโ€™s ex-defense lawyer, now Deputy AG, meet with a potential witness against him, Ghislaine Maxwell

The hypocrisy is grotesque. I discussed @msnbc.com

Happy Friday to everyone who might be concerned that he has possession of the nuclear codes, blames the messenger for tanking the economy & would gladly pardon a monster to save his own thin orange skin.

F--king #Uber. It shows you that there are drivers minutes away, then just says "Almost there for 10 minutes," before letting you know that there are no drivers available. Good Lord, Uber sucks.

"Why aren't Medicaid expansion states discussing using AI to quickly simplify all qualification and requalification requirements?"

I'm sorry, but how exactly would that work?

I mean, why not solve homelessness by speeding building approvals by having AI write proposals and evaluate them?

Once you understand this you'll never believe in German guilt again. People who feel guilty about committing genocide don't arm and commit another genocide. But people who wanted Hitler to win do

SCOTUS's immunity ruling looks even worse now The administration's wild threats against Obama show it did nothing but embolden Trump.

"Without the immunity decision, Trump would probably still be dragging out his appeals in his multitude of criminal cases & the rest of us would be living in a world where the govt remains functional. Instead, Trump has taken full advantage not just to dodge his crimes, but to crown himself a king."

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.
