Currently reading my fifth John Irving novel. Years ago I picked up Until I Find You on a whim and I’ve been hooked on his writing ever since. #booksky

So what's going to happen to TCM in this Netflix-Warners/HBO deal? That's what I really want to know.

He’s struggling to be liked. He knows this will never happen.

we have to make supreme court expansion a 2028 nominee litmus test, we have to get every candidate on the record about what their plan is to rein in this rogue court of unaccountable ideologues

Bad morning to everyone who did not vote for Kamala Harris.

When Trump goes on racist fascistic tirades against Somalian-Americans and Hegseth celebrates the regime's extrajudicial killing spree in Caribbean waters, we have a choice to make: A) Let it go B) RESIST If you choose B, JOIN US SUNDAY 3 - 4 CORNER OF BLOOMFIELD AVE & CHURCH ST, MONTCLAIR

Good morning from Haarlem. #GoodMorningFromHaarlem

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES UNREDACTED ASAP

But the SCOTUS is the ultimate arbiter of its interpretation, which is why there is real peril that a decision will be handed down that is not consistent with the plain language. If you aren’t worried, you haven’t read enough of their decisions.

Yeah, this one seemed pretty airtight too, but… “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office…who, having previously taken an oath…shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same...”

If the dump the 14th Amendment, will "Uncle" Thomas have to get rid of his WHITE SEDITIONIST WIFE?

Paying to enter national parks on MLK Day and Juneteenth and not on the orange turds birthday, wake up America if they get their way the 14th amendment will be gone. Its all about white nationalism and that is the goal!

I can’t envision any argument Trump can make to go against the 14 th Amendment but I can envision this Court making up one.

They undid 50 years of precedence with hardly a squeak. Just moving up the ladder.

There is no ambiguity in that sentence. There is nothing to interpret. The lower courts nailed it. This can only mean the Trump supreme court is looking into overturning 127 years of precedent.

…for regular people, while expanding rights for billionaires, corporations, and Trump.

They want to unsettle settled law. They want that to be their fucking legacy, rolling back rights.

Right? Why would they bother to take such a case? It’s settled. Not sure how else it can be interpreted. I don’t have faith that it is to settle the matter iNCE and for all. But we shall see.

If it were any SCOTUS other than the Roberts Court, as currently constituted, this case would be a no brainer. But because this Court is politicized, untethered to precedent, and has handed down many decisions that are obviously poorly reasoned and disastrous to implement, no one should rest easy.

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

I received a "Critical Account Security Alert" from "Apple." It purports that someone tried to charge $143.95 to my account and wants me to log-in with my password. A quick Google search revealed that "$143.95" has been charged to THOUSANDS of Apple accounts. I hate being scammed by the lazy.

FEED KIDS, BILL: “24+ county mayors across Tennessee sign a letter urging @GovBillLee to opt into the federally-funded food program for school-aged children, Summer EBT, before time runs out.” Stop 🛑 normalizing 🛑 suffering 😳 Full story: www.wate.com/news/tenness...

The people saying that nobody heard of Kate Bush in the mid-eighties are really getting on my last nerve. Most of the world knew her for years and in 1985 she finally broke the USA. Either you were a baby you just had your head in the sand and were exposed to no music. She wasn't niche (anymore)

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

👏New: @durbin.senate.gov and Sen. Murkowski re-introduced the bipartisan Dream Act to provide pathways to citizenship for people who have lived in the U.S. for most of their lives. #DACA recipients contribute to our country every day. They deserve to build their futures without fear. #HomeIsHere

We keep hearing how many GOP electeds don’t approve of a lot of what felon is doing but that they’re too scared to say anything. Voters have got to start electing people with a proven record of having a spine. Across the board. No spine, no vote.

The shift to EVs is happening—fast. Manufacturers can either embrace the long-term transition or chase short-term gains by clinging to petrol and diesel. China is choosing the long view. Many in Europe aren’t. The risk? Ending up with cars no one wants, lost market share, and shuttered factories.

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’ Committing the genocidal intention on the international stage West:”we must pursue a diplomatic solution”

Remember when Congress voted to release the Epstein files? They just gonna send them with them stimulus checks 😉

"killers, leeches, entitlement junkies." 1. formal complaint filed against him for "extrajudicial killing": PETE HEGSETH 2. systematic pattern of self-enrichment, i.e. "leeching" DONALD TRUMP 3. "entitlement junkies": repeated use of federal taxpayer funds to patronize TRUMP-owned properties.

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

So the Epstein Files just went away, huh

🇬🇧 "Putin personally gave the order." Britain imposes new sanctions over Novichok attack. The sanctions apply to 8 Russian GRU officers for attempted murder of Yulia and Sergei Skripals. Sanctions will also affect three more GRU officers for planning terrorist attacks in Ukrainian supermarkets.

Can someone explain to me why they think an administration that’s been carrying out war crimes for a year straight with impunity would impeach someone when they have all houses of power

I know I'm showing my whole age here but remember that thrill of getting a mixtape from someone? A mix of music that they made just for you?

NEW: "The Government Accountability Office, an independent and nonpartisan investigative watchdog for Congress, says it has opened an investigation into Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte." www.nbcnews.com/business/rea...

Trump has granted clemency to more than 1,800 people – and some have been arrested again President did not follow the usual review process, experts say, making it more likely they would commit other crimes www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Oh, I fully wish he could be dragged to The Hague to answer for war crimes, because no such check or balance exists within the US. Hell, I'd drag The Hague across the globe just to see him reckon with accountability. But also, he was at least a crook BEFORE he committed these atrocities.

People are calling him a war criminal because they think that he might be able to get sent to the Hague to be tried by the ICC when this is all over. However looks like he couldn't, because the US is not a signatory to The Rome Statute. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_St...

Please stop calling #Hegseth a #warcriminal. There is no war with Venezuela. He's just a #criminal.

Reform targeting children is disgusting. Most children who don’t yet speak English become completely bilingual very quickly. I’ve seen kids going from not speaking any English to outperforming their peers a few years later. Being bilingual has amazing cognitive benefits. Leave these kids alone!

It's been almost two weeks and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Comer incorrectly refers to Minnesota's Somali community as "illegals"

"And that goes for your friends too!" Newton Pratt, 12/6/1954. On December 2, 1954, the Senate voted to censure Senator McCarthy, declaring his conduct "contrary to senatorial traditions."
