Middle of the road kind of guy. Loved living in Asia and will be back there as much as I can. I gave over 40 years of service, in and out of uniform, to the United States and am having a hard time seeing what it was all for. Truly despise Donald Trump.

It's too easy to be distracted by the economic story of the day. The more important story is of our system fraying: The rule of law is decaying, Bribery spreading, crony capitalism normalized. It won’t show up in next quarter’s data, but when our kids try to build their lives.

Today's bonus "One First" tries to read the (many) tea leaves in #SCOTUS's cryptic Tuesday order in the SNAP case; how unusual it is for the full Court to effectively take a case away from a circuit justice; and what that teaches us about the Court's procedures—and, as importantly, Justice Jackson:
Bonus 192: The Court vs. the Circuit Justice
Tuesday's ruling in the SNAP case appears to be the second example in seven months (and for quite some before that) of the full Supreme Court taking an application away from the circuit justice.

After Ghislaine Maxwell lied to Todd Blanche, someone waived her sex offender status and moved her to Club Fed with "OUT" custody - allowing her to work outside the prison walls. 3 months ago, I got her Bureau of Prisons points screen as proof. We still don't know who approved all this.
BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

I have reviewed an electronic file that includes some of the information Senator Whitehouse is demanding from the Bureau of Prisons.

That's the first chapter of the GOP playbook. Complain about broken government, break the government, then point out how broken the government is.

The Steelers should bench Aaron Rodgers- just to send that entitled prick a message. He didn't do shit last night, and certainly the Steelers could not do any worse.

Fuck John Fetterman and the stroke he rode in on. A better man would have stepped down once it was clear to have affected his judgement.

Schumer should have been out a long time ago. How he lasted beyond the passing of the BBB is beyond me, and instead of admitting he made a mistake he doubled down. He had a prime opportunity to fix it, but failed miserably.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

So instead of actually enforcing anti-trust law, labor law, fair wage laws, build more housing or enforce banking regulations. -- The solution for the Shitgibbon and his acolytes is to make people slaves to banks. This is not a solution. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

I do think the least Democrats can do to message this disaster is hammer that they finally realized a sociopathic leader just doesn’t care how many people suffer in order to win. He would never compromise because he doesn’t care about other people as long as he continues to hoover up dirty money.

It's time for Chuck Schumer to read the handwriting on the wall. We need new blood in Democratic leadership. He needs to GTFOOTW and make room for someone who will actually fight for the people. 👎

Dear Democratic Senators: if you vote for this selling out of the ACA it will be the end of your careers. Depend upon it. You are there to defend this country against Trump and the fascists, not collude with them. If you become Quislings, you will forever REMAIN Quislings

Some things just should not be tolerated, and no one should be allowed to normalize the current evil actions by the thugs in CBP, ICE, and other agencies that are acting against the Bill of Rights and common decency. skippysan.substack.com/p/pass-the-w...
Pass the word
It is wrong to pretend that things are “normal” in order to normalize the evil actions that Kristi Noem oversees.

The Citadel hosted Kristi Noem. They should not have done this. The university should not give any recognition to someone who runs an organization of thugs who violate rights, beat people, and destroy lives.
Shame on my alma mater.
