"Quiet! Quiet, Piggy."

Really cant understand how badly the Dems messaged this fold. The easy out was to say "we never expected Trump would illegally starve children and when SCOTUS stepped in to illegally help him we couldn't put kids at risk."

Necessity is a mother!

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.

I'm rewatching Inside again and thinking about America right now. Bo Burnham has either killed himself or is about to drop the greatest comedy set of all time. #OrBoth

Betting on sports is a self Dunning-Kruger test.

They're building a security infrastructure far beyond what would ever be needed for basic immigration enforcement. They will eventually attempt to use it against U.S. citizens for non-immigration matters. Get prepared.

Call me old fashioned, but when I'm in a left turn only lane I turn left.

I can't believe how many people cause everyone else a traffic jam to avoid their own mild inconvenience.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

When I screw that crusted top off of that coconut rum and pour it into my glass of ice and simple syrup, I'm not just getting those sweet sugar cane and coconut flavors, but that fresh, pre-Covid air of my friend's 2015 wedding.

It really turns back the clock. Thanks, Obama!

I spoke with Liz Oyer, the former DOJ pardon attorney who was fired for refusing to recommend that Mel Gibson get his guns back.

Oyer describes herself as a social media neophyte but she's doing an incredible job on TikTok and Instagram explaining Trump's corrupt use of pardons for wealthy donors.

The word "violence" should not include property damage.

It's completely nonsensical that human injury should be included in the word for graffiti.

What a comeback! Going to be a great NBA Finals!

I say this with total sincerity, I think The Handmaid's Tale just became religious.

OMG AMEN THAT WAS NASTY!

Shadeur Sanders can still go in the first round if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing.

NFL draft: I didn't need player highlights from the NFL player you think is similar to the draft pick. It's just confusing.

As this Opinion will detail, the Court ultimately determines that the Government’s actions on that day demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt. The Court does not reach such conclusion lightly or hastily; indeed, it has given Defendants ample opportunity to rectify or explain their actions. None of their responses has been satisfactory

🚨Here is Judge Boasberg's opinion finding that he has probable cause that the government in CRIMINAL contempt for defying his orders on March 15: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

American is cooked. Nobody even wants to vacation here anymore because they know they can get shipped to a gulag on a whim.

Amid anti-DEI push, National Park Service rewrites history of Underground Railroad Since Trump took office, the park service, an agency charged with preserving American history, has changed how its website describes key moments from slavery to Jim Crow
