Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht

At the Sox game with family visiting from Pittsburgh, which many people (should) call the Rio of the Midwest. Any chance we could hear some Duran Duran @jtkantor.bsky.social ?

At the Sox games Friday night and today. Have to say I’m pretty disappointed at how many people are buying food from the scabs inside the park.

I can’t stop thinking about how the Access Hollywood tape came out before the election even happened, yet suddenly we have people concerned that the President might have lied about being a sexual predator who were totally fine with it when he told the truth about being a sexual predator

The Founders assumed Congress would defend its prerogatives, not sit passively as the Constitution is subverted
Congress must act. “This is a takeover of a major component of the legislative branch,” the expert tells Rolling Stone. “There’s no reason that they’re going to stop there.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Yes, but what is Congress doing about it?
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:
“no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

Is this the “immigration” problem everyone felt that Trump needed to fix?
A woman who has been living in America since she was a child took a trip to visit her sick father in Ireland. On her return to the US she was detained by immigration officials because of drug possessions dating back almost 20 years and has now been held in an Ice facility for more than a week

So far from the biggest issue here, but it strikes me as somewhat deranged the way Hegseth leans in to the female reporter and yells at her “Russia, Russia, Russia!”
Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist?
Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes

“Doesn’t get more American than that” demonstrates the current cultural divide pretty succinctly. To be clear, this is not what I believe America is about.
Just wasted four minutes thinking of how Rs would dunk on Ds if their social media referred to bullets as “freedom seeds.”
