BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Is Susan Collins going to get this man and the rest of the kidnapped Mainers back from her new BFF Kristi Noem? She got her headlines today - and that's usually her primary goal but trusting Collins is risky business and trusting Noem is even worse

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before
POND RULES:

No swimming, jumping or gallivanting.
Do not disturb the pond witch.
No fishing with dynamite.
Sacrifices to water gods on alternate Wednesdays only - NO EXCEPTIONS!
Taunt the crows at your own risk.
If a hand comes out of the water to beckon you, turn and walk away.
Do not feed the weretrout.
Is the water burning with cold unholy fire? Report it to the ranger!
They’re not ducks. Run.
Have fun!

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

Targeting more than half the population of the US for a political reason is treason. No elected official or a member of his staff has the right to punish the American people for who they vote for. Withholding money for states that voted for Harris is tyranny and must be stopped now.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Thankful the 2nd threat in less than a month was another hoax; fight or flight response & fear for my colleagues & students is the same as if it were real. You remember those times when the threat was real & people died. Relief spills over you that no one was injured, but there is emotional trauma.
