Exactly what I was thinking. Wish the press would bring that up, but my hopes are not high.

I can't take credit for pairing this quote with the picture, but it's sadly perfect.

She's been on board for the whole project, but I doubt she'll be on board with JD throwing her off the boat for his new lady. Play stupid games with Christian nationalists, win stupid prizes... or FAFO. I'm just sorry there are kids who are caught in this ugliness.

The Republican Party is a Nazi bar. Anyone who stays thereβ€”from a registered voter to the top of the ticketβ€”is implicated by that. Every policy, every idea, every action, every vote: It’s for the Nazi bar.

Good thought, but I'm not sure who to report them to.

FFS: the Hatch Act violations are outrageous. Went through and blocked them individually. Gross.

This morning, theΒ Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

I still have faith in a grand jury to return a no bill; hopefully, that's not unfounded.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

Having just served on a grand jury, I can see this as being voted a no bill. Let's hope they uphold my faith in people who do their civic duty.

This is fake, but I wouldn't be surprised if it gives her ideas. She still sucks. Selling merch at her husband's funeral was plenty tacky.

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores β€” nearly 10% of union locations.

It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops.

CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

Can't believe it's been 5 years already. I was listening to the show that day and was shocked and deeply saddened when I found out later what had happened. He was a force and an inspiration, and touched so many. I continue to wish deep comfort to all who knew and loved him. Rest in power, Michael.

A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

Not enjoying reading to my kids is completely unfathomable to me. I read to them from the time they were infants until they didn't want me to do it anymore (I think late grade school age...?) This headline makes me so sad for the children AND the parents, all of whom are missing out.

Why do people think he’s smart?
This is ridiculous misinformation.
When the United States was formed there were also customs inspectors and postmasters and light house keepers and judges and thousands of others.
They made government function.

A regime elected on the premise that it might have to do some unpleasant things but all in the service of low prices and a roaring stock market is now saying that we may have to bear high prices and low stock prices but all in the service of doing unpleasant things.

I left voicemails for both my senators tonight, and I'll call again in the morning. Hopefully they only get Schumer and Fetterman, but we need to keep up the pressure if that's even a possibility.

He was tremendous in this. I think he was generally underappreciated as an actor. His turns in Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, and The Prestige are some of my other favorites.

The subtext of all their DEI complaints has been ridiculously clear, but it's almost refreshing that a Trump appointee said it so boldly.
