There are so many hidden things in this bill? It truly terrifies me. The section about having to post a bond before a contempt ruling has force would give this administration carte Blanche to ignore any ruling it didn’t like, essentially neutering the judicial branch.

"War is Peace". Where have we read that before?

Why does this remind me so much of what's going on with DOGE's access to all government databases and feeding them into Palantir's AI?

I just watched the new Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movie where he battles "The Entity", and AI that has absorbed all human knowledge and knows everything about everybody.

the DOJ controls the Federal Marshalls. They'll never go against the Fearless Leader, I'm afraid.

I would vote for Miller as the most hateful, but maybe because he's been more in the public eye than Vought. They're both far worse than Trump himself.

I'm surprised Smith hasn't received a letter from DHS telling him he's being deported.

Looking forward to full rendition, including shaved head, shackles, thugs paws holding his head down. Wish that immigrant from South Africa would get the treatment, but no luck there.

under the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, companies with 100 or more employees must provide a 60-day advance notice before a mass layoff or plant closing that affects 50 or more employees. I think someone's ignoring that law, among others.

Obviously, Rubio is not living off his 401K earnings

Trouble is, musk and his teenage minions have their hands on the money tap at treasury, and could probably send SpaceX as much money as they want

Believe it or not, Safeway had medium avocados today for $0.77 apiece! Unsold ones from Super Bowl I guess . Tariffs suspended for a month.

Andy Borowitz writes that Mr T has appointed himself prims ballerina of the Kennedy Center Ballet. Image of Cheeto in Tutu coming soon

Just made my considered investment in toilet paper and gin a couple of days ago.
Viva Costco!

We owe a debt of gratitude to admiral Grace Hopper for this fine defense of our financial freedom. Note: she was not promoted to admiral because of some DEI initiative. She was just good.

Paul Krugman recently posted:

As Nathan Tankus, the go-to expert on these matters, says,

"I 100% believe that the primary barrier to Elon Musk gaining control of the Treasury payments system is COBOL."

And it’s a crime and dangerous to publish the names of anonymous FBI agents who work undercover for a reason.

Last time I tried to stock up for the Super Bowl, there were no chicken wings in any stores. Wonder how bird flu is affecting the supply this year!

Is Donald Trump aiming to be the new Neville Chamberlain in dealing with Putin at the expense of Ukraine. “Making a fair deal” for him smells like giving into Russias demand to keep Ukrainian territory.

Blew my fortune. Ate the avocado in a salad last night. No more guacamole for the next 4 years, I guess. :-(

I bought an avocado the other day. Now offering it to the highest bidder.

The only guarantee you have is that you will be tech support for him for the rest of your life :-)

Awesome job, BTW!

That is a pretty cross crossstitch there.
