This can’t be stressed enough. Justices Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Roberts ALL worked on the Florida 2000 recount for Bush as young lawyers.

“News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress. Everything else is advertising.” (Congrats to the CBS advertising department)

Anheuser-Busch will close its beer manufacturing plant in Merrimack early next year, the beverage maker announced Thursday, shuttering a facility that’s been in operation for more than 50 years and dealing an economic blow to the region.

This is really good work.

The Kremlin likes to exercise rhetorical dominance over Trump and they say this in the safe knowledge that we won’t invade or that if we do it will be a disaster. Trump might think of Putin as a friend but that’s not how Russia sees the US. The US is to be humiliated, fragmented, and weakened.

Cold w high winds & lots of snow. Flock of~ 20 turkeys was foraging in my backyard, right up against the kitchen window. They fled to the pond a few yards away when I opened my door to get some pictures.

Bless you 🙏.

What’s about to happen at SCOTUS is why I’ve opposed premature declarations of Trumpism’s collapse. Drumbeat since ‘15. Just like Christian fundamentalism has been declared dead every 5-10 years since 1925. When I pub’d The Family in ‘08, interviewers asked why, since Obama was ending Right forever.

Fact check: Lindsey Halligan is not and never has been US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

At a joint press conference with Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz acknowledges that the reason he is in Israel instead of Netanyahu being in Germany is the ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu.

☠️ The Economist: Russia lost 1% of its pre-war male population in Ukraine. In total, Russian losses in dead and wounded amounted to between 1 million and 1.35 million soldiers. Over the past three years, Russia has been able to occupy an additional 1.45% of Ukrainian territory.

Person who actually deserves a trophy is the artist who made the FIFA peace prize trophy look like everyone in the entire world holding their head in their hands out of secondhand embarrassment

This is the new CBS

A picture is worth a 1000 words. The birth dose of hepatitis B vaccines in the USA eliminated perinatally acquired hepatitis B infection from over 20,000 cases a year before the vaccine was introduced to <20 cases a year. The gaslighting by the current members ACIP is obscene, unethical and cruel.

what did they get in return?

“Once sprayed into the nostril, noroxone works quickly to free up opioid receptors in the brain, allowing compounds like heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, and morphine to reattach and fatally interrupt respiration.”

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him? That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

This is really important. Both in the fact of IMLS reinstating grants. (Which have been *crucial* for libraries and civic life across the country. Notably in rural areas.) And in the example that the overall stalwartness and rigor of federal district/circuit courts has made a huge difference.

Imagine if just one of them said, "Mr. President, I came here to support a policy related to our industry. But I cannot stand here and listen to you denigrate people in this way. It's racist and it's wrong. If my shareholders disagree, they can have my resignation. But I cannot be part of this."

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.” They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

This sounds a lot like Office of Faith-Based Initiatives under GW Bush. Big roll-out, lots of controversy, erroneous reports of its evaporation even as it settled in across gov't. Good reporting here.

“Why are we here, that is the question? And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come...We are not saints, but we have kept our appointment.

I named my fists Vladimir and Estragon. (They do not move.)

I give small contributions several times a year & always wish I could give more It’s such a valuable resource.

This is genuinely big news. Shldnt be but is. Republicans are challenging Trump now because he seems weak. No one wantst to back a weak horse. Trump looks like the weak horse.

1. The men and women of the US military are honorable people and didn't ask for this shitshow. 2. Pretty sure they're not eager to be sent to Venezuela. 3. We are not signatories to the Rome Treaty and the ICC.

😠Book bans, trans bans. Shutter his political career, shatter his peace: “The past few months have seen me face allegations so severe they shake you to your core—charges that could end my career as a state representative and shatter our family's peace forever,”

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Fair warning a significant part of this week’s Serious Trouble is centered on me not understanding rapper’s names I sincerely thought it was Megan Three Stallion. I thought maybe she was Native American?
