As a consolation to our Canadian friends, Los Angeles will now embark on one of our greatest traditions: burning down the entire city with illegal fireworks

'People are scared': Congress grapples with increasing political violence House Republicans put forth a proposal to fund the government that includes $30 million for lawmaker security, as Congress grapples with increasing political violence.

This isn’t normal either. Like seriously, members of Congress and staff used to walk to work without a care in the world.

How is that strength? These are some of the most powerful people on planet earth.

I’m out of town. The block next to me, 23 houses, decorates like crazy. The block is closed to cars. Last year the stats guy on the block gave out 1,200 pieces of candy. I buy 200 pieces for each house on that block, since I’m not home.

Voters divided on midterms despite broad Trump disapproval, poll finds Most Americans disapprove the president’s handling of top issues, and a majority say he has gone too far in exercising his powers.

Trump’s “disapproval is the highest in a Post-ABC poll since January 2021, a week after the attack on the Capitol.”

Voters divided on midterms despite broad Trump disapproval, poll finds Most Americans disapprove the president’s handling of top issues, and a majority say he has gone too far in exercising his powers.

New poll:

Trump is underwater by 18 points overall.

And he’s underwater among independents by 39 points.*

* not a typo.

I wonder if the South American fishermen he's routinely killing would count as "innocent Christians" too, or nah?

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

Trump’s America: FBI Director is taking govt jets to watch his girlfriend sing, president is in Palm Beach holding Great Gatsby balls after golf, we are murdering people in boats while refusing to show proof of guilty, govt is shut down, airports are a disaster, prices are up.

Our health care system is so broken it’s insane.

Stop letting them make you believe a better one is impossible.

It also exists because it’s a nice handout for agribusiness.

SNAP exists because businesses don’t pay their workers a living wage.

Feed hungry people. Bring down a corrupt administration.

I think we could use some more of this sort of energy right about now.

Clinton turned the bombing into a PR shitstorm. Shaw was ousted in a recall election, the first U.S. mayor to be kicked out of office, and Davis handed his walking papers. Neither did time. Instead, they threw Kynette to the wolves and he was convicted for the bombing.

Only Kynette put the bomb under the engine block. The bomb took out the garage and blew out the front end of Raymond's Chrysler, but Raymond survived.

On January 14th, 1938, Police Captain Earle Kynette, head of the LAPD Intelligence Division, wired a bomb into Harry Raymond's car and when the private detective turned the key it went off.

Shaw already had police chief Jack Davis watching Clinton, Raymond and other members of CIVIC for a while using the LAPD's Intelligence Division. So you'd think he'd have seen it coming but given what happened next, competence wasn't exactly their strong suit.

Mayor Frank Shaw was unhappy.

And so with Raymond's skills and Clinton's backing CIVIC put out a report showing that profits from 600 whorehouses, 1800 bookmaking operations and 23,000 slot machines were going into City Hall's pockets.

He was not a man afraid to get his hands dirty, dig through evidence and go where the money led.

Why three months? Because that's how long it took for him to piss off the powers that be by raiding a gambling den he was told to stay away from and very quickly getting fired.

Enter one Harry Raymond, a private investigator who had once been with the LAPD and, for about three months, the chief of police in San Diego.
