Newly older person, at present aghast, but it will not last. Steadfast lefty childless cat lady. I live at the intersection of sciency and artsy-fartsy. Life-long Angelino and proud of it.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential. www.reuters.com/world/us/usd...

Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3

Jeffrey Epstein. There have been more inhumane orders, actions & quotes this month by The Felon. Media lost interest in Epstein. WHERE ARE THE PRESS CONF QUESTIONS? Where’s the follow-up on the drawing on the b-day card & strategic signature? Bondi’s files? All else. He’ll skate away again?

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Undocumented immigrants aren’t showing up to work because they face a double threat: 📌 ICE could roll up to the job site, because it’s easier to target hardworking people than go after real criminals. 📌 When the work’s done, some employers refuse to pay and threaten to call ICE.

The Confederates always used "state's rights" when it was convenient and the feds to control the states when it wasn't. We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.
