We shrug off madness. We heave a sigh as the naked king rants.

This is exactly why Republicans in the House and Senate are the ones responsible for this vile destruction of our nation. Elevating a madman to the presidency is not the madman's fault. He's nuts. Most of them are greedy, chickenshit, or both. (Or also nuts.)

And isn't Contempt of Congress a crime?
Bondi showed nothing but sneering, snarling contempt for every Democrat who asked her a question.

Perhaps he does know what was going on. Tailhook sounds like just his cup of tea.

Yep. I can scan the ER and point out those among the sick and injured who are undocumented immigrants. Just like an ICE agent!

There's ALWAYS a video clip.
It's #DonaldTrumpsShutdown.

He said so himself.

Always worth a cathartic re-read.

I'm so glad that Larry "Big Brother" Ellison is now in charge.

The Museum of African-American History DOES display "hope and progress". Its history of who we have been is terribly disturbing but out growth away from the worst of times is inspiring. I can only assume that our newest US Attorney, like her boss in the White House, has never been in the museum.

MAGA Is Coming for the WNBA The nation’s most prominent — and most politically active — women’s pro sports league is on a collision course with Donald Trump.

MAGA is coming for the WNBA.

From Kindergarten to Kimmel MAGA's treatment of K-12 teachers was the warm-up act to taking down comedians

I wrote about whether we can protect teachers -- the celebrities in our kids' lives -- the way we protected Jimmy Kimmel.

H/T to @thetattooedprof.bsky.social and @davelevitan.bsky.social.

I think it would be helpful if DA Bragg charged a few of these assaults. If the agents think that federal law immunizes them for actions that would result in ordinary New Yorkers being charged, let them litigate it.

I wish I could quit my subscription to The Pose again.

Conspiracy? You can Google it.

"Taking away a broadcast license has so many legal obstacles and takes so long that the FCC doesn't even try."

This is important to understand. The real action is in self-censorship and merger approvals. view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/175...

For the love of God! Will no one challenge her, and her ilk, to explain what Kimmel said in "celebration" of the killing? What he did was bemoan MAGA's exploitation of the inexcusable murder of Charlie Kirk.

Jimmy Kimmel should take a page out of Trump's playbook and sue Brendan Carr for defamation.

What rationale have the EPA and DOJ offered to justify their claim that the Superfund Law is "illegal"?

Me too.

How did it disrupt life on campus? Were Kirk's fans so unsettled by her legitimate opinion that they simply couldn't work or study after reading it? What delicate creatures they are. Trump upsets me
every day, but I'm still functional.

According to indystar.com, "The university...said her comments caused significant disruption to the college. A public institution can argue its right to fire an employee through a two-part test that considers whether an employee's speech disrupts the workplace."

Because you fail to share the allegedly offensive, threatening posts, you fail to give us any meaningful information at all.

Exclusive: No evidence of primary residence violation by Fed Gov Lisa Cook, says Michigan official The property tax authority in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook hasn’t broken rules for tax breaks on a home there that Cook declared her primary residence.

There's that woke leftist rhetoric that inspired the killing of Kirk.

Thank you Michael Fanone. For those who do not recognize the name, Michael is one of the officers who defended America on January 6th and was left permanently injured as a result. He is a true hero of our Democracy.

Sincerely interested in your rebuttal to the report, issued today by the Association of Genocide Scholars, in which "86% of those who voted" called Israel's attacks on Gaza a genocide.

I follow you, Tom, because I'm interested in your analyses of the issues, but you enter my feed primarily by responding to snarky attacks from your haters. Why bother with the pissing matches? Save yourself for more meaningful posts.
