You had me at “inter-cameral subtext” 🫖☕️😍and I will do my best to slip that tour-de-force of phraseology into casual conversation before week’s end.
A somewhat funny inter-cameral subtext to Thune absolutely screwing Johnson on ths Epstein bill after having screwed him on the CR with its comically corrupt payout to 8 members of the Senate R caucus.

The D.H.S. racists calculated that one severely ill man stabbing an immigrant woman on a train would be enough to gin up the local support for their hate crimes. But Charlotte is a really modern, multicultural and generally safe place, not the bigoted backwater the feds were hoping for. (HA!)
Despite 🍆🥔 labeling immigrants as criminals and insane people and vowing to get rid of all the criminals, you still endorsed him for president.

Not once during the presidential campaign did you speak up against this, so why now? Is it because you've seen polling?
GOP Rep. Salazar: "Talking about Charlotte -- 200 people in 48 hours were arrested. 70% of them did not have a criminal record according to DHS. That's a mistake ... do not touch the lady who has been here for 10, 20 years contributing to the economy ... that is why those people are protesting"

I imagine that most of us have women in our lives who’ve been demeaned, attacked, or harassed by powerful men in their place of business. This in addition to the horrific video (the enclosed space, the finger-pointing, the menace in his voice) that should haunt every GOP official forever.
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

To a first approximation: all of them.

I have traveled to 12-20 US cities every year for 25 years and every time I revisit one I see new public spaces, businesses, revitalized streetscapes, etc. Lots of new pedestrian areas and parks. River walks. Bike paths. Festivals. Free concerts. Etc.
Which US city has improved the most over the past 15 years?

There's a lot we have not visualized in a useful way.

One of the big ones is the SHIFT in govt employment from "people who cure cancer" and "people who make sure your Social Security comes on time" and "people who care for veterans" to "people who kidnap your neighbors."

That a Reagan judge would give up his lifetime appointment willingly because he feels a future GOP president has rendered that appointment meaningless in the midst of an authoritarian speedrun is quite remarkable:

Seriously, for their own good, Dems who voted for this need to not be saying “we did a good thing, this is why.”

The line needs to be “we fought like hell to get healthcare back, but Donald Trump was willing to burn the country to the ground.”
Durbin said critics of his vote “need to understand how the Senate works”

No, you have every right to run your own experiments, gather your own data and publish results that can be challenged through peer review. But just arguing about science is not science, it's just being an asshole.

Guy with no training besides ‘I don’t think Tylenol is cool’ vibes stands outside science lab and wants to weigh in on the peer review.

She’ll be big mad that quotes have left out that she said it’s grodie! And she isn’t defending it or whatever! But since she bookends this with 1. A confession of reasonable suspicion of crime, and 2. A nonsensical distinction between age 8 and age 15 as to what is fine for men to victimize.
First of all, a 15-year-old is not "barely legal." The age of consent in Florida is 18. So sexual behavior with a 15-year-old is rape.

Megyn Kelly is VILE trash for saying otherwise.

And Megyn Kelly is confessing to having insider information about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to but stayed silent.

Megyn Kelly is out here normalizing Epstein by arguing over what “type” of child he preferred. This is the GOP’s moral rot on full display — minimizing abuse, defending child molesters, and expecting America to swallow it. Absolutely not.

Earlier in the year I drove 9600 miles to do Milky Way photography.

Between that, work, my health, and the terrors, I'm exhausted.

I promised myself no more trips over 100 miles from home for the year, unless critical for the union.

I broke that promise Saturday.

Worth it.

Final version. 🪶

I think it’s really important to emphasize just what a terrible idea such a mortgage would be in real terms. Here’s for $350,000 at 6%

So yeah your house payment is $250 cheaper a month BUT your loan will end up costing you more than A MILLION DOLLARS.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.
