My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

So, I took Lynn out for Thai food - we have a great place here - and their heat was out. So, dinner by the fire at home! Crispy duck, shrimp and broccoli. (Lily wanted nothing to do with any of it.)
Then we cracked the champagne British Airways gave us. A better night than the President is having.

A year ago, I was concerned that we would be in a much worse place by now. We all face more challenges to come. But be hopeful. I am.

Modi could have the exact same foreign policy he does now for cold, selfish reasons without being this slimy in his fawning over Ru's murderous dictator. It exposes him as an awful person.
The Prime Minister of India has never once criticised a russian missile attack on civilians and civilian objects in Ukraine.
Yet he takes this opportunity to spread russian lies. Even the russian ministry of defence was unaware of any supposed attack.
Go fuck yourself, Modi.

This is called "freedom" and it's pissing off the new Commissars who believe that artists must perform at the State's command
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:
Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”
