There just isn't a set of laws that will hold if the president, the majority in both houses of Congress, and six votes on the supreme court want the president to be a dictator

Anti-trans laws cause bookstore owners to leave state SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – On July 1, a new South Dakota law will take effect, requiring transgender people to use restrooms that align with their gender assigned at birth. The change has one South Da...

What especially infuriates me about this story is that a local community in a red state thoughtfully discussed the issue of trans youth using restrooms, decided to approve it, and then, the state overruled them. Now, the community loses a local business and a happy family.

Lesson 1: DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE

β€œMost of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, & then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

In case you forgot, I’m Andrew Cuomo, son of Mario, grandson of Andrea. 

Welcome to the heavyweight bout, @ZohranKMamdani 

This is a two man race. You look tired already. It’s just the second round.

What if there were already some sort of contest where people were able to choose between them, I wonder how that would go

The Portland Pickles selected a random fan to take an at bat on fan appreciation night.

He hit a 2 run homer.

I don't say this lightly: The New York Times should fire the reporter and editor who chose to present a leak from the white house as if it was a leak from Harvard.

Don't print lies in the newspaper

I just need one member of the media to ask Trump how much a $500 drug would cost after a 1500% discount.

What annoys me is that GOP is redistricting while Dems are talking about and considering clapping back.

They simply do.

We wring our hands, talk about it, shake our fists.

And it’s always like that.

Always.

Dems need to move with FEROCITY and ALACRITY, and we never ever ever ever ever DO!

a black and tan wire-haired dachshund sits on a blue sofa and looks up above the camera. his beard is an asymmetrical swoosh of coarse blond hair, and his eyebrows spring up like two more little accent sprouts. the tufts atop his feet are extra grinchy and magnificent.

This is Beni. He was born with such an impressive beard that his face is now redirecting all good whiskers to his eyebrows. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: beni_the_dachshund_in_paris)

Since wolves’ return, Yellowstone’s aspens are recovering, study finds The researchers found a 152-fold increase in sapling and young-tree density.

Aspen trees are growing taller in Yellowstone thanks to wolves that prey on elk, which graze on trees.

Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American History Museum A temporary placard, on display since 2021, described the president's historic impeachments. Officials said the exhibit was restored to an earlier version following a review of legacy content.

Under pressure from the White House, the Smithsonian has removed Trump from the impeachment exhibit at the History Museum.

The exhibit now says that β€œonly three presidents have seriously faced removal,” referring to Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton.

The exhibit now looks the way it did in 2008.
