Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Only organized people can beat organized money. I was in Jim Hogg county talking with folks about data centers, Al, water, diesel, and more. Organized money is pushing for Al data centers. If we're not careful, outwater, tarms, and communities may pay the price.

Black text on a white page that reads as follows: 

Too often, homeless New Yorkers cycle from our hospitals to our streets — making it harder to continue treatment and find long-term stability. 

The City's Bridge to Home program in Manhattan ends the cycle by providing a safe place for New Yorkers to live while they receive medical care, apply to jobs, and find an apartment. The program has been a massive success.

Today, we’re expanding Bridge to Home to Brooklyn and Queens, so more New Yorkers get the help they need.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Would be comic if it were not vicious. Actually it’s both. Sen Schmitt framed a whole perjury suggestion on the basis of Jack Smith’s attending an Atlanta Hawks game and surreptitiously seeing Fulton County prosecutor. In fact it was Iowa Hawkeyes (Caitlin Clark) in College Park Maryland

"It’s also worth recognizing that if Trump had real plans beyond lying and stealing taxpayer money, he’d probably say so. Remember that when he was trying to cheat by getting aid from Russia and China to smear Joe Biden, he said on national TV that he wanted to get aid from Russia and China."

Merry rushes into the hobbits’ parlour at the Prancing Pony. He had followed a Black Rider to the end of the village, but was overcome by terror. He was found lying in the street with two men over him. The hobbits help Strider board up the door and window, then try to sleep.

‘All that is gold does not glitter Not all those who wander are lost The old that is strong does not wither Deep roots are not reached by the frost…’ Strider knows the rhyme from Gandalf’s letter! ‘I am Aragorn son of Arathorn and if by life or death I can save you, I will.’

Just as Strider is trying to earn Frodo’s trust, Barliman enters the parlour and delivers Gandalf’s 3-month-old letter. ‘You may meet a friend of mine on the Road: a Man, lean, dark, tall, by some called Strider. He knows our business and will help you. Make for Rivendell.’

As Frodo leaves the common-room to return to his parlour, he’s asked for a talk with both Strider—‘If you please, Mr. *Baggins*, I should like a quiet word with you’—and the landlord Butterbur: ‘I should like a word with you in private, Mr. Underhill.’

The crowd presses another drink on Frodo and asks him to sing again, but mid-song he falls from the table and vanishes—the Ring has slipped on his finger. The crowd is startled. Frodo removes the Ring in a far corner. The customers leave without offering him a single good-night.

To interrupt Pippin’s story before the part where Bilbo vanishes, Frodo jumps on a table. They ask for a song. ‘There is an inn, a merry old inn beneath an old grey hill And there they brew a beer so brown That the Man in the Moon himself came down one night to drink his fill…’

The hobbits have enjoyed excellent beer and dinner in a private parlour. The Prancing Pony’s innkeeper, Barliman Butterbur, invites them to join the company in the common-room. Merry stays behind, reminding them, ‘Don’t forget that you are supposed to be escaping in secret!’

It’s dark as the hobbits reach Bree. The gatekeeper lets them in, but is suspicious. He doesn’t mention that Black Riders have been asking about a party of four hobbits from the Shire. The hobbits head for the Prancing Pony. Strider quietly climbs the gate and follows them.

The hobbits reach the Road again—six days after Frodo, Sam, and Pippin crossed it west of Hobbiton on their first night of walking. Tom Bombadil recommends the inn in Bree, then rides away south. Strider, a Ranger hidden beside the road, overhears their parting.

Gandalf reaches Hobbiton. The Gaffer laments his new Sackville-Baggins neighbours: ‘I can’t abide changes, not at my time of life…least of all changes for the worst.’ Eventually, the Gaffer does happen to mention that a rider dressed in black arrived the night Frodo left.

‘Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow, Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow. None has ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master: His songs are stronger songs and his feet are faster.’ Tom opens the barrow, sings away its spell, and awakens Frodo’s companions.

Frodo hews at the arm, cutting the hand away, but shattering the sword. Then he remembers the rhyme: ‘Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo! By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow, By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us! Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!’

Frodo wakes in a barrow. The three other hobbits lie on stone slabs, dressed in white rags and gold treasure. He hears a song. ‘Cold be hand and heart and bone, and cold be sleep under stone…’ An arm walking on its fingers approaches from behind. It moves towards Sam.

This is absolutely correct, but I worry that "truth and reconciliation" will sound too foreign to Americans who have long been allergic to truth and/or reconciliation. I'd just say "we're finally going to hold people who broke the law and violated the Constitution accountable for their crimes"
