"And if my parents had made a different choice, I wouldn't be here today leading Congress into helpless irrelevancy, providing cover for a brutal American dictator, setting the stage for World War III, and ... hang on, hang on, let me start again."
Mike Johnson: "I was the product of an unplanned teen pregnancy exactly one year before Roe. A lot of people tried to convince my very young parents that they should just take care of that problem. But I am eternally grateful that they allowed me the chance at life."

Every Western European country scores higher on the global ranking of freedom and democracy than the U.S. does, according to Freedom House, a U.S.-based nonprofit that ranks countries according to measures such as election process, rule of law and individual rights.

This is a great example, but there's a funny running theme that Vance, who after all has only been a senator and then VP for less than three years, excepts to be treated with POTUS-level traditions and respect, as if anyone in American history has ever cared about "respecting the office" of VP.
STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Can we just state the obvious? Kennedy’s obvious health issues are disqualifying as Director of Health and Human Services. Yes he’s an incompetent liar and charlatan but mostly he’s an untrustworthy Darth Vader breathing ticking time bomb that is incredibly dangerous to our public health.

Wow. Just wow.

Trump seems insistent on making it virtually impossible to resist the conclusion that he’s shitting large orange bricks about what’s in the Epstein files.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Wondering where the #BOYCOTBEZOS movement is. #teslatakedown has been so successful. Let’s do the same for Jeff Bezos… no more Amazon or shopping at Whole Foods. No more prime. Even audible. Just no more boosting profits for billionaire douchebags. Who’s in?

Got my model S back in 2014~ first big purchase on my own after my husband died~ and it felt good. Like the best thing I could do at the time. Fast forward 11 years~ donated it to Habitat for Humanity and became a part of the #TeslaTakedown. Feels even better! Bye Zippy it’s been a helluva ride!
