Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

Trump just told CBS he doesn't know who Changpeng Zhao is β€” the cryptocurrency billionaire he pardoned last month with ties to the first family's own crypto venture.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Kash Patel in 2023: β€œI’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Just noticed when I took this screen shot long after the games were over, they still were missing one match update at the bottom the table. I give up.

The Firewall Against Nick Fuentes Is Crumbling The white-supremacist influencer is entering the MAGA mainstream.

America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.

* ADRAN Premier. I don’t even know an β€œAdrian” and my iPhone won’t let me type the league name without changing it. Sorry, folks.

Adrian Premier finally updated the entire table (they’re often late and sketchy in their information posts and updates).

So here we are doing into the next matchday in two weeks. Let’s go, Reds! 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #askwxm

Jeffries: "Why have House Republicans remained on a taxpayer funded vacation for the last 6 weeks? Of course they are unserious as it relates to reopening the government. Why has Trump spent more time on the golf course, including this weekend, than he has talking to Democrats on Capitol Hill?"

NBC's new poll say the most important issue for deciding who to support for Congress is: "Protecting constitutional rights/protecting democracy."

If you agree, I suggest you subscribe the news outlet that focuses like a laser on just that. Sign up for Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Newsom: "This is a historically unpopular president. His policies are even more unpopular than him. In every core category he's underwater. He who promised to make us healthier & wealthier & we're poorer and sicker ... He knows he's lose midterms so he's trying to rig it before 1 vote is cast"

BTW, if the Adrian Premier were settled by a tug-o-war, Wrexham would have had this wrapped by Halloween. #askwxm

Learning about Aberystwyth, saw it’s home to the National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales.

So, when is the Disney’s Mark Griffiths Wing opening ceremony? What will the #AskWxm exhibit look like? And I’ve always wanted to meet Mickey and Minnie, so @finalwhistle.bsky.social, can you get me in? πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ ΏπŸŽ™οΈ
