NEWS Russell Brand has been charged with one additional count of rape and one additional count of sexual assault. These charges are in addition to two counts of rape, one count of indecent assault, two counts of sexual assault, and one count of oral rape.
Russell Brand, RFK Jr with a lizard, and Dr. Oz. Imagine the smell.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a sitting member of Congress who is worth many millions of dollars, posted a birthday message for her son—along with a link to his Venmo account, encouraging her supporters to send him money. This comes at a time of significant economic uncertainty in the United States.
Alt-text: Marjorie Taylor Greene poses smiling next to her son, who is wearing a backward baseball cap, white polo shirt, and jeans. She is dressed in a white lace top with a denim jacket. The tweet above the photo says, “It’s my baby boy’s birthday!! He’s 22!! I love him so much! Buy him a beer!” followed by a Venmo link.

Our first post is a big one...Statement from Keker, Van Nest & Peters on Trump’s Latest Executive Order “Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court.”
“Trump’s new Executive Order underscores how far removed this President, Attorney General and Administration are from our nation’s Constitution and bedrock values. Our liberties depend on lawyers’ willingness to represent unpopular people and causes, including in matters adverse to the Federal Government. An attack on lawyers who perform this work is inexcusable and despicable. Our profession owes every client zealous legal representation without fear of retribution, regardless of their political affiliation or ability to pay. We encourage law firm leaders to sign on to an amicus effort in support of Perkins Coie’s challenge to the Administration’s executive order targeting the firm, and to resist the Administration’s erosion of the rule of law.” 
– John Keker, Robert Van Nest, Elliot Peters, Laurie Carr Mims, and the Keker, Van Nest & Peters Partnership

Price of eggs has shot up again. Yes, it’s because of the raging bird flu epidemic — for poultry we have strict rules for culling. The bovine H5N1 outbreak, already badly handled, is ongoing too. And with health agencies muzzled, we are down to fingers crossed. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/b...

It's really unfortunate that Covid trends do not act like the Flu or RSV (at least yet). The difference between peak and trough: 🔸Flu: 200x 🔸RSV: 400x 🔸Covid: 9x And Covid only stays at those reduced levels for weeks, not most of the year. Always around.
