And don't forget son-in-law Jared.

Three conservatives on the Court are trying to do him a favor by rescuing the Trump economy from the hole he dug for it, but he’ll never forgive them because they shut off his spigot of bribes and favors and checked his power to do wholesale harm out of boundless ignorance.

That said, I would love to see a Sen. Jasmine Crockett, too.

He pushed a state constitutional amendment to be voted on by the people to legalize casino gambling (where A's $ comes from). Texas Sands is a pro-casino gambling PAC that has given to D/R alike. Business v ideology. Now, if $ had come from A's pro-MAGA Preserve America PAC, that'd be another story.

Notice that all three are Republican and male.

‘ICE conveyor belt’ illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond ICE is pulling Minnesota immigrant families with legal status out of their driveways, homes and school commutes and send

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

Fox will find a 15-second semi-coherent snippet and put it on an endless loop. And that's all they'll see.

I Caught POLITICO and the New York Times Laundering Pink Slime "News" How the sexist backlash to AOC and Gretchen Whitmer at the Munich Security Conference led me to a scammy "local news" outlet pushing a coordinated right-wing narrative

This, from @emilyhorne.bsky.social, is a case study in how easily DC political reporters are mobilized by right-wing trolls. spinclass.substack.com/p/spin-class...

Prediction: We won’t see US law enforcement yanking Epstein class predators out of their limos, throwing them to the ground, zip-tying them, spiriting them off to detention centers w/o letting their families know, and defying court orders to free them. That kind of stuff is reserved for hoi polloi.

New Jersey. You got a problem with that?

For the record, since always left out of news stories.

During bitter Bush-v-Gore, history-changing, "Brooks Brothers Riot" Florida recount in 2000, the GW Bush legal team included:
-John Roberts
-Amy Coney Barrett
-Brett Kavanaugh.

BK also worked for Ken Starr.

All just coincidence, of course

The current Court majority is a classic captured court.

The Justices pick the outcome they want, and work backwards from there, inventing and disregarding legal theories on the fly in the process.

And they're FREE. All we require at mine to get a library card is some form of ID that ties you to the address you list on the application. Doesn't have to be a DL or have a picture on it. Could be a utility bill or rent receipt or a bank statement. No birth certificate or passports necessary.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to watching the committee grill Marilyn Monroe and Elvis. Did they find them at a 7-11?

I heard somewhere (Thom Hartmann on the radio, perhaps) that Thune's plan is not to bring it on its own to the Senate floor (he knows it's DOA) but to attach it to some must-pass spending bill and get it through that way.

Shhh. Don't give them any ideas.

👍So is forcing people to show birth certs and possibly marriage/divorce certs to prove citizenship and eligibility. No state that I know of issues those documents for free. They're $15 each in my state (plus postage/handling if you order online or by mail) and take forever. Poll taxes were cheaper.

Can you imagine what would have happened if a female Scotus nominee had displayed the histrionics we got from Kavanaugh (and Lindsay Graham, for that matter) in those hearings? I can hear the "she's on the rag" jokes already.

My gr-gr-gfather emigrated here from Canada in the 1850s. Family story is he was from Nova Scotia, but all the documents say Newfoundland. I also have Trudeau ancestors from the French Canadians who settled in coastal AL in the early 1700s. Nice to have an escape valve if things get too bad.

And for the ones who constantly bring up the earlier video, it's telling that in BOTH encounters, he was carrying a gun, yet never once put his hand on it or thought to use it in a threatening manner, even when he was clearly quite angry. He showed more restraint and self-control than his killers.

Oops. Electoral, not Electiral.

And before the pandemic, absentee ballots were typically more an R thing than a D thing. One thing we do have that no other country has is the Electiral College. How about we get rid of that instead?

Or is that froids?

Yeah, those of us who have had to pay tax on our Social Security benefits with an income threshold unchanged since 1983 are just bawling in sympathy.

According to an attorney who represented several of the victims, there were camera setups at ALL of Epstein's residences, not just the island.

Yes, another lush, gorgeous John Barry soundtrack (composer of Out of Africa, Dances With Wolves, Born Free, Lion in Winter, Eleanor and Franklin, the Bond theme, The Persuaders theme and many, many more).

That's what makes any hesitancy over funding cutoffs among Dems trying to look "moderate" so ludicrous. They're ALREADY vastly overfunded. They could fund normal operations for several years with what they already have.
