Target employees are going to be on you like the characters in Pluribus
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.

Chump claiming $2T would have to be “refunded” if SCOTUS rules against his illegal tariffs is telling, since it’s only $100B in reality. It’s almost like he’s adding in how much illegal spending he’s done, along with how much he’s also personally stolen from the taxpayers. 🤔

I was at a queer wedding this weekend, and the collective sigh of relief at today's SCOTUS news CANNOT BE OVERSTATED.
I always start crying when the processional starts, and yesterday's tears included the worry this beautiful wedding (and their Zoom wedding in 2020) would somehow be invalidated.

As we reflect on the Supreme Court’s denial to hear Kim Davis’ challenge to Obergefell v Hodges, don’t forget that Davis must also pay $360,000 to the couple who’s marriage license she refused to grant. I hope they treat themselves to the best anniversary present that money can buy.
