Guy who ran on his deal-making prowess doesn’t want to help Americans make good deals on insurance

Mamdani is going to implement Shakuhachi law. Everyone will have to learn to play a traditional Japanese flute.

Prosecutors accused of withholding evidence, coercing witnesses in 2009 Beaverton murder case Lawyers allege Washington County prosecutors failed to disclose key evidence in case against Nicholas Sias

Washington County District Attorney Kevin Barton and his disgraced former lieutenant and campaign manager Bracken McKey are accused of suborning perjury, falsifying evidence, and hiding the truth in this murder case.

I wish I were surprised, but Washington County’s history is rich with these cases.

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, “Where is your God?” (Psalm 42:1-3)

FBI Informant Who Lied About the Bidens Covertly Released From Jail Alexander Smirnov pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and was sentenced to six years in jail.

This is creepy and weird and flying beneath the radar. The Russian asset guy who totally fabricated a story to attack Biden during the campaign and got six years for it was secretly released from prison months ago, and no one can say why or where he is.

Add Sec. Chavez-DeRemer to the list of folks who’ve adopted the President’s approved gender presentation.

Here she is at her confirmation hearing (looking how she looked in OR politics):

R: “give us that bag of marshmallows”
D: “okay, but we want you to stop pooping your pants all the time”
R: “if you give us the marshmallows right now we will poop your pants too”
D: “are you alright?”

Just a quick land war in sub-Saharan Africa, in and out by Christmas.

As a public defender, if any of my clients went out and said something in public so obviously opposed to their interests in the case I’d:
A) beg them to stop
B) get absolutely clobbered in court
C) be horribly embarrassed
D) all of the above

I still carry the card with me everywhere I go. I never want to forget what that was like.

I was a single young man and hunger warped my life.

I can’t imagine how much more I would have lost if I were feeding a kid, too. Or what else I would have done to keep good food in front of them.

SNAP was the scariest diet plan I ever had. I lived on various combinations of canned beans, frozen vegetables, and whatever protein the grocery store was most desperate to sell.

I weighed everything so that I knew its calorie content. I knew I wouldn’t die, but I lost 65 pounds in 8 months.

Seriously, let me go back to 1974 and dump a bottle of gin on this damn napkin.

Since 1975, grocery prices in the US have gone up an average of 3.5% per year.

In 1975 the federal minimum wage was $2.10. It went up to $3.80 in 1990, $5.85 in 2007, and the current minimum of $7.25 in 2009.

Wonder why more people need supplementary food support?

Absolutely beclowning themselves. Since 1975 the number of people living in poverty in America has gone up. But the rate is pretty steady - between 10 and 15%. (1/8 is 12.5%, pretty much exactly the historic norm)

There’s a reason that when we talk about the most unjust punishments we think about the criminalization of food theft.

The majesty of the law is that it forbids the rich and poor alike from stealing bread.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

Q: Quick followup, do you actually expect people to believe that you don’t have an opinion about a minister being shot in the face by DHS? Or are you just joshing?

DHS's position is now that if they, the government, take too long to process your work permit renewal application and you have to stop working and lose your job, well, deal with it, that's just the price of security.

I’m imagining breaking a hockey stick over someone’s head resulting in no serious injuries and I conclude one of the following:
1) Incredibly powerful swing plus incredibly powerful skull and soft tissue; or
2) decorative hockey stick; or
3) bs
