If youโ€™re in New York or plan to be, Ragtime at Lincoln Center is an absolute must see. Incredible production. Iโ€™m so grateful to have seen it.

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

New York Times snippet: A Decade Later, Supreme Court is Asked to Revisit Same-Sex Marriage Decision; Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk once jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses, has asked the court to reconsider its landmark 2015 opinion. 6 minute read

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

My mind is absolutely blown by the fact that (until today) James Watson was still alive.

One of the most consistently hilarious shows of all time. I laughed out loud at every episode.

Maybe he should investigate how many immigrants work(ed) in the meat-packing industry.

One of the potential ways we actually avoid full autocracy is being lucky the GOP is so unflinchingly stupid. They never should have let these tax credits expire on their watch and now theyโ€™re rejecting a deal that would allow them to claim victory and get them through the midterms. So so dumb.

You'll see people talking about recissions. Recissions are when Trump just keeps funding that's been allotted by Congress. If this "deal" doesn't prevent recissions, it's worth NOTHING.

Schumer is a chump, so I don't have high hopes here.

This might be a decent deal if the Republicans could be trusted. But they canโ€™t. Rescission and impoundment are 100% certain if they donโ€™t get everything they want in a budget.

Heโ€™s not even mayor yet, and was just elected three days ago. For fuckโ€™s sake, stop acting like a whiny little baby.

Nothing better has ever happened in US politics. Rudy, next to the dildo store, screaming โ€œthe networks? OOOH, THE NETWORKS!!!!โ€ as the country learned that Joe Biden had won the election.

Rep. Mike Simpson R-ID ignores Democrats on the floor and adjourns the House until next Monday. Adelita Grijalva was elected on Sept. 23 and still has not been sworn into office.

the funny thing is, if they actually meant this, that would primarily mean standing up to trump these days.

Suburban moms getting arrested and calling on others to follow them is way bigger deal than the court rulings imo. You get them right and truly pissed and ready to act and its on.

So much of the conservative rage at the world stems from the fact that they spurn real friendship opportunities in order to maintain credibility with right wing posters they have never met and never will.

X is more important than real life and they wonder why they hate their lives

The note is pretty good evidence that the sandwich guy jurors carefully evaluated the legal merits of the DOJโ€™s case and werenโ€™t collectively engaged in a nullification exercise.
