Ms. Halligan, who took over on Monday after her predecessor quit rather than prosecute James B. Comey with what he believed was insufficient evidence, had a little trouble with the first two tasks. At one point, she entered the wrong courtroom. When she found the right one, she stood on the wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused about the paperwork she just had signed.

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

27 years in a Brazilian prison!

A great deal of our problems result from not holding those who tried to destroy our democracy accountable for their actions.

We lost both our girls - Syd (right) and Nancy - within three months - so hard to deal with - but I am sure they would have wanted to appear on #caturday every now and again, as they loved making friends.

Influenza 2025-2026, già i primi casi e il covid avanza: che stagione sarà, le previsioni Pregliasco: 'Verrà colpito un italiano su 4'

Italy: COVID is advancing and the flu is already here.

Over 2,800 COVID cases reported last week nationwide, up from 2,000, fueled by the Stratus (XFG) variant. Of samples, 19% were COVID, 6% other coronaviruses, with a few isolated flu cases detected.

Oh wow! You must be strong!

The Magnificent Seven leashed up and ready to roll. Watch out fire hydrants, here we come! Happy Saturday everyone.

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

Are y'all beginning to see who the problem is yet? The pedophile with biggest megaphone, the president of the United States, continues to be the biggest instigator of violence. Fuck Trump, fuck MAGA, and fuck all fascists. 😳👇

Charlie Kirk: Joe Biden should be "put in prison and/or given the death penalty for crimes against America"

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed.

Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing.

Both sides!

This is why I don’t garden tidily. Letting this rocket flower is giving the bees somewhere to forage though today’s breeze is making clinging on challenging!

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

So they are living breathing turning points.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

Unqualified

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS (CNN, live-on air just now): Despite what FBI director Kash Patel previously posted, the FBI does *not* have a suspect in custody in the shooting of Charlie Kirk. The person behind this despicable act unfortunately remains at large.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Screenshot of Washington Post headline reading; Meta suppressed research on child safety, employees say The company’s lawyers intervened to shape research that might have shed light on risks in virtual reality, four current and former staffers have told Congress. Meta denies the allegations.

In April, I called on the FTC to investigate Meta for its violations of my Children's Online Privacy Protection Act on its Horizon Worlds platform. Since then? Nothing. Now, there is more evidence Meta violated COPPA. The FTC needs to enforce the law and stop this egregious conduct.
