The delay was probably due to negotiations. They'll probably pay off that Amex bill and others to keep her quiet. As always in politics, follow the money.

This is their version of an October surprise, used to rally the white vote. Trump and GOP have gotten tons of mileage from dehumanizing certain groups (trans, immigrants) and hitting the anti-Black hot buttons. Rep. Omar gives them a two-in-one target in an important state. bsky.app/profile/deco...

My two cents, as a random old geezer: White voters (men and women) put Trump over the top, nationally and especially in swing states. There was just enough erosion in anti-Trump votes from other groups that they weren't cancelled out. Some erosion was due to voters who voted for image over reality.

You know who should be pointing all this out to Brooks to his face? @jonathancapehart.bsky.social, who's supposed to provide a counterpoint to Brooks' blatherings on PBS NewsHour. Haven't seen much pushback on other issues, let's see if he even brings it up.

In Florida, my nephew was put on a bus and told to report to a halfway house and a probation office or it would be a round trip. Fine, but while in, his state ID had expired and they’d done nothing, so even buying cigarettes was a hassle. Between documents and fees, took weeks to get a new one.

This confused me at first. I usually cut the wrap into four to eight pieces before heating it up and I haven't run into this.

Now, watch Trump use this statement as an excuse to complain about Zelenskyy and cut off the already-reduced supply of arms and defense technology to Ukraine. Paving the way for his buddy in Russia.

Source: Another management-madated anti-Mamdani hit piece from NYT. If I follow, he was attending the vigil, not side-by-side with protesters, so not clear why you refer to it as him attending a rally and what you're trying to say about messaging. bsky.app/profile/froo...

Generally agree, but can't quite parse your last sentence. Did Congress have a rider before ("wrote" instead of "write")? Or, are you asking them for it ("designate" instead of "designated")? Anyway, false-representing kids with complicit lawyers before hand-picked anti-immigrant judges is wrong.

Since most of the "No" votes are for show after being assured there's enough votes for whatever Trump wants to go through, it's more like 99%. Has she ever voted her conscience?

Nelson Cruz @ncpix2009.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

If she has that, maybe it's time she gave her voice a rest by getting out of politics. Aren't 73-year-olds usually retired?

I may be wrong, but I think this is more a set of half-complete thoughts and statements mashed together. I think he was trying to say that the COL is high, but it's temporary and a small price to pay to keep Iran from blowing up L.A. or San Diego. He just left out most of the words in that sentence.

Okay, benefit of a doubt, maybe this guy really feels bad and was embarrassed to admit he's a full-fledged Trumper from way back. The "reporters" should have checked, but the actual victim's father wouldn't sit for an interview, they had to write about somebody, and he seemed sincere.

Oh, will no one think of the poor trucker who feels bad about running over someone driven to suicide due to policies the trucker voted for? Yeah, the kid's family feels bad, also, but Dad didn't sit for an interview. By the way, maybe some more double-checking was needed: bsky.app/profile/dani...

It’s okay, they haven’t been working on actual national security for a while now. And, if they’ve been helping with the kidnappings, imprisonments, and exiles, maybe it’s time they had something bad happen to them, too. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

The shift will likely reduce federal law enforcement resources devoted to counterterrorism and counterintelligence. A separate effort will reduce white-collar crime probes.

Now I'm wondering which two fingers get smooshed together in the glove (kidding). I'm guessing the idea is to make it look like a lion paw.

Wait, Lion-O's hand (paw?) only has three fingers and a thumb? Only but so familiar with the cartoon and the comics, so I checked. According to Google Image Search, it's five fingers in some cases, but, in most, four. I like how Alex Ross split the difference. Live and learn.
