Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

The double pardon really gives away the game. Adriana Camberos started her second round of fraud just weeks after her first pardon. She was charged, convicted, imprisoned…and pardoned again. Trump supporters are permitted unlimited crimes, while the rest of us can get beaten by the secret police.
President Trump quietly issued clemency grants this week, including to a California woman he had pardoned once before and a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC.
Trump Sets Fraudster Free From Prison for a Second Time
The president issued a raft of clemency grants this week, including pardoning a woman he had given relief to once before and a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC.

Bowie opening his set with TVC-15 is proof positive he never went “normal” even in his dreaded 80s

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

And if the GOP had unified control of Congress, maybe Nixon would have gotten away with it! Just goes to show the power of real oversight (and the corrosion of democracy in its absence)...

My birthday buddy! Has her more recent output impressed you enough to merit an update?

Yes but I’m pretty sure it’s never happened

Q: What could Maduro do?

TRUMP: He's offered everything. You know why? Because he doesn't want to fuck around with the United States

One fact I’ve never been able to comprehend is that Ferry was only 29(!) when recording Siren, an album with the wistfulness and regret of somebody nearly twice that age

Given the Moroder of it all, I’m shocked you hate “Take My Breath Away”

In a city where 3.6 million people ride the subway every day, “I am scared to ride the subway” does not make you sound like a strong leader.
Andrew Cuomo going on Fox News to accuse Zohran Mamdani of caring about “woke issues” and talk about how much he’s scared of the subway seems like a pretty clear sign that he has abandoned the Democratic Party.

Why do I pay all these taxes just so the MTA can take over an hour to transport me 9 miles (thus causing me to be very late picking my son up from daycare)? Why do we still have signal problems gumming up the whole subway system in the year 2025?

I thought this was exaggeration and then just looked up when Rubber Soul came out—just under 4 months later! Insane

Does this mean federal crime in NJ is legal (at least until you can get a validly appointed person to sign the indictments)?

The reason our society is at a breaking point is there’s no longer a penalty for government officials (Republicans) who lie. Lie to Congress during your confirmation hearing, lie to the public about a piece of legislation, lie during the campaign about what you will or won’t do—none of it matters.

I also sort of love the Cool for Cats LP, even if the singles are the obvious standout tracks. The album is just so weird (and dirty, iykyk).
