Well, there you go. Hope it works.

The implication here is that had the Democrats held out longer that the Repubs—who’ve been trying to destroy the entire ACA for 15 years—could have been forced to give up the one part of the ACA they just changed a few months ago

I find that a dubious notion.

He came to the US as a child refugee from the former Soviet Union. Now he’s a father facing deportation to Ukraine

We're primates actually.

Also: the post I'm quoting came from George Zimmerman's alt.

Don't do any of this.

Trump-appointed FEMA chief resigns after six troubled months on the job As the agency’s acting administrator exits, it’s hardly unreasonable to wonder whether FEMA can survive the president’s second term.

The White House fired a sensible FEMA chief in May and replaced with an unqualified loyalist — who just resigned after six unfortunate months on the job.

He wasn't even mean! In any way!

We should reboot journalism completely. Start from scratch. They should get those old timey hats and a pencil and figure it out from there

but of course these rendtions of "masculine" and "feminine" are nonsense, rooted in very non-Jesuslike ideas of strength and power. Who has power? God has power. To submit to God, to relinquish one's claim to power, is to receive the full Presence of His power

one theory I have, certainly open to correction I'm not a real historian!, is that over time, "devotion" becomes "womanly stuff" -- I think some of this conflates with patriarchal sexual mores, the one reinforcing the other. which is how we get to "masculine rosaries"

Sounds like sleep for dinner

Democrats spent 3 hours per evening for 4 nights in a row on prime time television on every major network LITERALLY READING PROJECT 2025 TO AMERICA.

77 million people wanted it & another ~85 million didn't give a shit.

They claim they have nothing to hide, but the way they keep dodging deadlines and slow-walking subpoenas says otherwise…

Tomorrow’s vote is about forcing the transparency the American people should’ve had months ago.

Have no doubt: I’ll be voting YES.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

I am still a little bitter about adagio teas replacing their rooibos mango with honeybush mango. 😡

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

Take it from Kara and please consider giving to your local PBS station. For only $5 a month, you will get access to all of the wonderful programming. There will be no billionaire bail out or a white knight that will miraculously save the day, so it is up to us. DONATE TODAY!!!

Eurgh!

No, man. It won’t. It’s not going to happen. You might as well ask him if his health care plan is coming before Christmas, or $2 gas. Don’t be a sucker.

They're angling for a pardon from the racist in chief

Oooh! I even zoomed in to try and see it better 🙃

I wish he would stop saying stuff like that.

I'm not sure what ratipasto is, but I'm willing to try it. I'll have it with some ox tail soup.

Trump Administration Acknowledges Lack of Evidence From Epstein Documents

4 months ago, AG Pam Bondi declared there was no Epstein client list and no info implicating 3rd parties.

Now, she's ordering a new investigation hours after Trump ordered her to via his Truth Social account.

On the day The Epstein Files were to be released.

Exclusive | RFK Jr. Discussed Curbing FDA Head’s Role After Complaints About Management Style Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. considered installing a new leader to manage the agency on a day-to-day basis.

FDA Chief Propagandist Marty Makary is apparently concerned about the incompetence and “disorganization” at RFK Jr.’s HHS.

RFK Jr. in turn apparently wants to remove Makary’s power and leave him as a figurehead, but, like, they’re still totally still friends and stuff.

Trump admin drops Biden plan to require passenger compensation for delayed flights The Trump administration said on Friday it was formally withdrawing a plan to require airlines pay passengers cash compensation for U.S. flight disruptions.

The Trump administration is canceling a Biden plan that would have required airlines to pay passengers cash when their flight is disrupted and it’s the airline’s fault.

This would have put money back in Americans’ pockets. Not anymore.

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...
