I love how Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and #2 in line for the presidency, is always like, โ€œWhat? News?! I never read or hear anything that happens in the world, anywhere. Iโ€™m totally offline. What even is โ€˜social mediaโ€™? They play news all day on TV!? Wow! Thatโ€™s a surprise!โ€

Weโ€™re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, weโ€™re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

Theyโ€™re not pulling some elaborate trick, theyโ€™re just willingโ€”even eagerโ€”to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

This is why men should take a vow of silence about reproductive freedom. Idiotic ideas, abound.

One of the (many) legal gaps that needs to be filled after this nightmare is over is to prohibit federal law enforcement agencies from using federal funds to create propaganda videos with anyone in custody. This is all about spectacle and content creation, remove the incentive and the means

Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions.

These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water.

AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Painting of an older woman in Victorian times wearing an absolutely enormous, voluminous dark, long-sleeved dress with brocade material on the shoulder & an enormous white bonnet with pink bows that stands at least 2 feet above her head. She looks ridiculous. 

The text reads โ€œEvery time you get dressed remember: If you die, thatโ€™s your ghost outfit forever.โ€

Jason should be 44 today.
Forever 33, he was 1 of 9 killed at Umpqua Community College in 2015.
He survived drug addiction, rehabbed, and got his GED, but didn't survive a mass shooting on his 4th day of college.
