Ghazala Hashmi was sworn in yesterday with a Quran
In 1785, citizens of her home county of Chesterfield petitioned the General Assembly
“let Jews, Mehometans [Muslims], and Christians of every Denomination enjoy religious liberty, as the declaration of rights has invited them”

Growing up, I thought that the commandment not to take God’s name in vain was about saying goddamn, but this is what that commandment was talking about. Keep God’s name out of your mouth when you do your disgusting fascist deeds.

If Kirk wins the Delegate race, maybe we should just decide who replaces him on council based on who says "not it" last.

New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources.
Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

It’s absolutely bonkers to me that Harbaugh and Tomlin are out of jobs.

Kevin Stefanski — Fired
John Harbaugh — Fired

Hot take: Birds are better off for having lost yesterday -- had they won a couple of playoff games I worry that would have talked management into keeping Patullo. #eagles
