Bite me, Musk.

Progressive political commentator (print, radio, podcasts) for years. I post a lot: breaking news + legit info you can use, prone to snark. My mini Australian Labradoodle, Hamilton, has trained me well.

๐Ÿ˜˜ My goal was to get a message across to those who need to hear it the most in a slightly subversive manner.

Not expecting MAGA minions to get it, but hoping those on the fringe of the cult might see some light.

"We're gonna have to do something dramatic" -- Marco Rubio on Meet the Press says he supports Trump's plan to round up migrants and send them to detention camps.

Kristen Welker then plays tape of Rubio saying in 2016 that he doesn't support Trump's plan to round up migrants.

Arizonaโ€™s attorney general says Rudy has been served an indictment in the stateโ€™s fake elector case alongside 17 other defendants for his role in an attempt to overturn โ€™s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Giulianiโ€™s political adviser, Ted Goodman, confirmed Giuliani was served Friday night after his 80th birthday celebration as he was walking to the car.

Trump yesterday during his speech to the NRA floated the idea of serving 3 terms: "Are we gonna be considered 3 term or 2 term? You tell me"

Trump has said FOUR times that he will withhold federal funding from schools that require vaccines. Not just COVID. ALL.

This is most schools. This is hitting me where I work. This will lead to children dead from measles. It's obvious, inevitable.

Someone on here said they just couldn't bear to vote for Biden to keep Trump from office since at least under Trump there were better masking rules.

I hope that person sees this.

Worse is worse.

edit: because I don't know measles from smallpox

So all the action in opinion is in the concurrences.

Justice Kagan writes separately in concurrence, joined by Sotomayor, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.

For which purpose do these four find common ground?

To grant interpretive weight to traditionalism and evolving practice over time.

With big, big administrative cases coming up on their docket, perhaps a significant signal?

I am pretty fucking sure that Justices Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor have all been called the c-word and worse throughout their careers and have never once hung an insurrectionist flag up at their house because of it

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with AFP on Friday warned Russia could intensify its offensive and said Kyiv would only accept a "fair peace" despite the West's calls for a quick solution.

Via Kyle Griffin:

New: Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin is calling on Alito to recuse himself from all cases involving the 2020 election.

"The Court is in an ethical crisis of its own making, and Justice Alito and the rest of the Court should be doing everything in their power to regain public trust."

For those saying, โ€œBut what about Thomas?!โ€, an easy-peasy Google search shows that Durbin has also called on Thomas to recuse, several months ago.

Worth emphasizing this, because most news outlets did not:

โ€œRep. Matt (R-Fla.) on Thursday ominously invoked Donald โ€™s call to far-right violent extremists while joining the former president at his criminal trial in New York.

โ€œStanding back and standing by, Mr. President,โ€ Gaetz wrote on social media, along with a photo of himself positioned behind Trump at his trial.โ€

Johnson serves at Democrats' pleasure. Johnson's statements at Trump's trial were despicable. More than anything, this was a statement from the Speaker that heโ€™s willing to steal the election for Trump, and Democrats should say, โ€œThen youโ€™re out.โ€

Solution to Food Waste

.. launched by students to save groceries from the landfill. Theyโ€™re helping to cut food bills & climate emissions.

"a lot of produce doesnโ€™t make it to grocery store shelves when fruits and vegetables are considered to be misshapen, not the right size or slightly damaged.
.... the problem of oversupply, when too much of one food item is grown or distributed and doesnโ€™t match market demand"- it is dumped!!

GOP Rep. Bob Good admits on Fox Business that Republicans are helping Trump violate his gag order: "That's why we went up there -- so we could say the things that this corrupt judge is not allowing him to say."

Good then attacks the judge's daughter.
