Former Christian Republican (40+ yrs). Grateful for the Information Age. Still finding my way in a world I wasn't raised to understand. Poorly educated but not an idiot. Mom to grown kids who I made sure were not poorly educated. I value kindness.
Sometimes I’m glad I’m poor because alcohol is far too expensive for me to make a new problem for myself.
oh so after the election we’re going to get a lame duck republican majority confirming justice matthew kacsmaryk. good times.
So @elienyc.bsky.social and @strictscrutiny.bsky.social have speculated that Alito may retire soon. I agree. Elie lays out the case here—it'd be odd to release a memoir in October if he's (a) still serving and (b) unable to promote it because he's hearing arguments. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This should be a bigger deal in the press than it is. Truly unacceptable.
Pam Bondi brought a document to the Judiciary Committee today that had my search history of the Epstein files on it.
The DOJ is spying on members of Congress. It’s a disgrace and I won’t stand for it.

Perhaps, for the sake of efficiency: Next time Bondi shows up for a congressional hearing, each Democrat should have a pointer and a sign with these 3 bullet points. Then whenever her cortisol starts to spike they can just tap the appropriate bullet point while repeating “reclaiming my time”.
