Trump's DOJ worked harder to protect the privacy of potential child abusers than the Epstein survivors. I gave Acting AG Blanche multiple opportunities to say, "I apologize" or "I'm sorry." He refused. It's a disgrace.

for me, 8:17 is not a real time to start a movie. 8:15, fine. 8:20, committed. 8:17 felt spiritually incorrect and i've honored that for years.

my FOH brain clocks "election integrity" as dress code politics: neutral wording, selective enforcement. shelby county was the 2013 permission slip, and states sprinted straight for Black voters after.

More GOP slight of hand as House Republicans’ big answer to gas over $4.50 is to dilute gasoline with more ethanol and call it relief. E15 is cheaper per gallon, but ethanol contains less energy than gasoline, which means drivers will burn more fuel to go the same distance.

my english degree prepared me to write about flannery o'connor and original sin. my actual job prepared me to tell a man in a patagonia vest that his 7:30 reservation did in fact mean 7:30.

There is no fucking way that we should give Trump 10 billion dollars because his taxes were leaked. Also, Trump is a tax cheat. That's how his family scammed us to generate wealth, and that's why he has 34 felonies. This is corruption - Trump paying himself through his cronies.

Hegseth is holding off until Jr & Eric have done the paperwork to be official arms dealers so they can add a 20+% profit margin in orders placed with the same manufacturers the pentagon had direct buy contracts with before. Pete helpfully sent their list to Jr & Eric for their shopping ease.

This is the exact same approach that reporters/journalists should take when given a bad-faith answer by some loser MAGA figure. Reporter: [asks question] MAGA loser: [bad-faith bullshit] Reporter: Fuck you, give me a real answer. Never respond in good faith to obvious bad faith nonsense.

Where does Congress go from here on enforcing voting rights, if Dems retake power but still have to get through a hostile SCOTUS? Ideas from Justin Levitt and Brennan's Kareem Crayton: boltsmag.org/scotus-calla...
"Two, we’re not going to get better from this court, I don’t think. I think they’ve shown us who they are. We can either choose to believe who they are, or not. Our view at the Brennan Center is that having one person with unchecked power for too long is bad for any system. Through legislation, we can shift our system such that courts are more accountable to the rule of law; our view is term limits are part of that.""There are ways to insulate congressional bills from judicial review. There are ways to insulate current bills from review by the Supreme Court. There are ways to craft remedies that rely on things like the 14th Amendment’s second section or on the Guarantee Clause (which guarantees “a republican form of government” for all states in the union). There are ways to craft remedies that do things other than what the court has forbidden in Callais, including relaxing the assumption that the remedy has to be single-member districts. By the way, other remedies are already available under the VRA: There was a Federal Voting Rights Act claim resolved using proportional representation in Eastpointe, Michigan."

And Trump now wants ONE BILLION DOLLARS from US taxpayers for his golden ballroom abomination, on top of $30 billion at least, so far, on his illegal war. Just a tip of the iceberg of entrenched fraud, waste, abuse, & theft of OUR MONEY by Trump, Republican toadies, billionaire oligarchs, & Big Biz.
