Next year instead of carrying strings of Xmas lights up to my roof on a ladder, I'm going to carry each individual bulb up a much longer ladder to a helicopter hovering a mile above my roof, assemble the strings of lights, and drop them down onto the roof. That way I'll have gravity working for me!

Senator Schiff, I appreciate your holding the line, but reforming ICE doesn't go far enough in ensuring our constitutional rights or a humane immigration policy. We existed as a nation for 226 years without ICE and we can do so again. It's time to Abolish ICE.

Serious question: what happens when Trump the president orders Bessent to have the IRS negotiate a settlement with Trump the plaintiff? Can a judge throw out a settlement if there's a blatant conflict of interest like that?

I had an almost identical encounter in a casino in Vegas with Gallagher, the watermelon-smashing comedian. We made eye contact and he gave me the most pissed-off-in-advance look I've ever gotten from another human being.

Probably the same sort of people who believe that "Markwayne" is an actual name rather than an indicator that all four of your grandparents were first cousins.

Unfortunately I don't believe Massie has the unredacted files in his possession; DOJ set up a secure viewing room (no recording devices or other electronics) for members of Congress to view them, but there's no way for Massie to disseminate them.

None of which come from the other branches of the federal govt. High school civics classes teach checks and balances like they're a three-way game of rock-paper-scissors: each branch has power over the others. But that model doesn't work when one player can remove the others from the game.

Exactly. The only real checks on Congress's power are (1) being voted out of office, (2) needing state ratification for constitutional amendments, and (3) division within itself making it difficult to get the supermajorities needed to exercise its greatest powers (impeachment and overriding vetoes).
