So good w fresh whipped cream!

Glad someone in the world holds a space for cherry pie as a favorite! I like ALL pie, and definitely think pumpkin and pecan deserve a better rank—maybe #2 & #5. Apple, peach, blueberry, strawberry rhubarb… All compete for #1 when done well, and served seasonally.

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

Thanksgiving, Above All, Celebrates Our Escape From a Pre-Liberal World But the liberal order's very success in overcoming the horrors of that world has made postliberal ideologies forget what lies on its other side

“This voyage and survival were undertaken for yet a further purpose: to escape the religious persecution they experienced at home, escape to a new land—a new world—of religious liberty. It is for this they were giving thanks in this first American Thanksgiving.”

Again, as with all the other federal budget cuts that are incinerating 20-25% of the funding & the entire budget model of every R1 university in 🇺🇸, this is a five-alarm emergency that requires immediate, loud, collective condemnation by our university presidents. Total 🦗 as it’s all being gutted.

This is true. It is the best email I got this year.

nuzzi / lizza misconduct imo enabled the destruction of so much public health & scientific research — and a resurgence in measles in the US. this is not petty tabloid gossip or inside baseball. that they went undetected or were rewarded while great reporters were laid off? it’s a huge system failure

JUST IN: DHS Sec. Kristi Noem made the ultimate decision to defy a federal judge’s order to return detainees to the US from the torture prison, CECOT.

My take on the DOJ’s latest court filing that reveals Noem’s complicity with others like Todd Blanche and Emil Bove.

CHILD: I’m an American citizen.

ICE Nazi: I don’t care. ~ Read this as many times as you need. Let it sink in.

Kristi Noem is a liar. ICE Nazis are out of control and are arresting CHILDREN who are American citizens.

The insanity must end!

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.

Or your team of scrubbers has finally gotten through the stash of files and given you the “all clear”.

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

Man detained by ICE found dead, hanging with hands and feet tied—attorney The Chinese national died in Pennsylvania in August, but his family's requests for answers from DHS have gone unmet.

For years, presidents have abused the pardon power to reward political allies.

Trump has done it again and again – and now he could even pardon a person who helped run a child sex trafficking ring with Jeffrey Epstein. That’s unacceptable.

@slotkin.senate.gov has it right. End the pardon power.

Justice Department to Investigate Epstein Ties, but Not to Trump President Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate the dealings of Democrats with Jeffrey Epstein, after a week in which his own relationship with the convicted sex offender was in the…

Trump’s order that DOJ investigate ties between Epstein and Democrats is deviously brilliant—an ongoing investigation can be used as a reason, even if pretextual, to block public disclosure of the file.

When Trump talks about ‘trillions,’ does he understand what the word means? The president keeps using the word “trillions,” but I don’t think it means what he thinks it means.

"If you’re thinking that the president just likes to say the word 'trillion' without any meaningful connection to reality, you’re not alone..."

Trump wanted to make this man the top law enforcement official in the nation.

Trump official refers Rep. Eric Swalwell for a federal criminal probe over alleged mortgage fraud Swalwell is the latest Democrat to face mortgage fraud allegations from Federal Housing Finance Agency head Bill Pulte, who sent a letter to the Justice Department on Wednesday.

Housing official Pulte’s mortgage fraud investigations keep going after Democrats.

Oh and by the way, we've had roughly 2M federal employees since the 1940s though our population has more than doubled.
