I can’t stop thinking about how the HHS Secretary of the United States of America went on the news and bragged about doing coke off toilet seats and do y’all remember when Bill Clinton had to pretend like he never inhaled weed because it was a massive nationwide scandal? Wtf are we even doing here

Every single year, regardless of use, my healthcare costs have incrementally increased, but you know what has NOT increased... my access to, or quality of, HEALTH CARE.

I want the health care deal that my senator has. Full stop.

It's about time Democratic members of Congress boycotted the #SOTU. Real Americans WON'T BE WATCHING.

This from the lawyer who successfully argued the tariff case before SCOTUS, casts huge doubt over the applicability of the statute the @POTUS is relying on to slap down a new 15 percent global tariff.

Redlands approves new e-bike rules Rules define legal e-bikes, limit sidewalk speeds and impose fines for unsafe riding.

Redlands California is the latest to pass a somewhat nonsensical ebike law.

Violations would be treated as infractions punishable by a $1,000 fine for a first offense and $2,000 for subsequent violations? Let's fine drivers similarly.

Dayum. Just heard a minister say, as perhaps only Black ministers can, β€œWe will fight until hell freezes over, and then we will fight on the ice.”

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

Is Andrews arrestatie begin van het einde van de β€˜onaantastbare’ Epstein-klasse? In het thuisland van zedendelinquent Jeffrey Epstein lukt het de meeste verdachten de dans te ontspringen. Maar in het Verenigd Koninkrijk wankelen steeds meer mensen. Zelfs de ex-prins.

De carrières van vele miljardairs en beroemdheden staan op instorten sinds opnieuw honderdduizenden e-mails, foto's, video's en andere documenten vrijkwamen uit het Epstein-dossier. Maar in de VS blijven vervolgingen uit. "Justitie lijkt zich van de zaak af te keren." nos.nl/artikel/2603...

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Voter fraud found in Georgia.
Not by Democrats.
Not by immigrants.
By Elon Musk's America PAC sending out pre-filled absentee ballot applications.
Every accusation is a confession.

Why can't we take democracy as seriously as we take sports?

Everyone knows how important fair play is, and that taking a wrecking ball to the stadium ruins the game for everyone.

That's not sportsmanlike.

That's not winning.

One thing to understand is that jackasses like me graduated from law school basically believing that, while nothing like <all this> was realistic in our lifetimes, if it did happen, then our Supreme Court with all its flaws would respond roughly like this judge did, maybe 9-0.
