No one fancy. Retired. Do not obey in advance.
From The Guardian:

“He officially signed a contract to take the reins at LSU.

The 5-year-old departs after the Rebels finished the regular season with an 11-1 record … “

This typo … great description.

From Punchbowl:

MOMENTS
ALL TIMES EASTERN
Noon The House meets for morning hour debate.
2 p.m. The House meets for legislative business.
4 p.m. President Donald Trump signs bills in the Oval Office.

Noon is NOT a morning hour … FCS!

What is Jared Kushner's job in the administration?
I’d rather question why is Kushner there and why is he laying out a vision? We did not vote him into any gov position nor the senate we voted for has approved his candidacy.

This isn’t a grey zone anymore, it’s 50 shades of grey.

Would the Supreme Court rule that taking a bribe for a pardon was an "official act" by the president and immune from prosecution? I'm serious. If Trump announced he was selling pardons for $1M a pop, could anyone do anything about it, short of impeachment? (Which carries no prison sentence.)

Iowa City made buses free in August 2023 with a goal of lowering emissions and encouraging people to take public transit.

Now ridership is up, traffic is down, and the program is extremely popular.

So popular that the City Council has voted to extend it for another year.

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We know the Navy or Coast Guard picked up survivors and sent them back to their countries. So now we're saying that they did it once and they didn't do it again?

BASH: Could that be because a lawyer in the Pentagon said you can't do that again?

MULLIN: No, absolutely not

Mike Johnson and Trump are holding a Tele-rally for Van Epps. They are doing everything that they can so that Aftyn Behn loses her run for Congress!

THEY'RE SCARED

My post alone isn't going to do anything, but you sharing this post, or creating your own — WILL!

LET'S DO IT

Looks like it’s time to re-up this thread on the fascist genealogy of the seemingly pablum term “Americanism.”

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.
