Oh dear fucking lord
Happy Tuesday! Who's ready to hear about
1. Flesh-eating maggots (mostly go after cattle)
2. They're native to the US
3. The USDA has kept them out of the US since the 1960s
4. But the flesh-eating maggots are making a 21st century comeback. And believe it or not it may be thanks to MAGA.

Jasmine Crockett exposes the truth—
Side by side, she plays footage of the violent January 6th rioters next to Rep. LaMonica McIver at Delaney Hall—
a stark contrast between criminals and congressional oversight.
The difference couldn’t be clearer.🗣️

Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi says she is going against corrupt judges.
In case you wonder why she hasn’t gone after the *most* corrupt, Clarence Thomas, there is a professional courtesy between lawyers who take bribes.

Until tonight.
And so you’ll have to forgive me, but I am more than a little grief-stricken, because the road is paved now. The Supreme Court has not just endorsed the revival of a law that put Japanese Americans in camps, but has applied it to create unremediable atrocities.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.
