Omg is that Leo from his early 20s?? It’s the most 1980s Chicago pic possible.

I was speaking of being fair to the Northern California office of the federal DOJ, that this was not necessarily a trumped up charge (pun intended). But I’d agree that a. It doesn’t bode well for Newsom, and b. greed effing sucks, what are people thinking?

Ew

Exactly! This investigation started 3 years ago. She left Newsom’s office a year ago.

Please everyone note that this investigation started 3 years ago when Biden was president and she left Newsom’s office in December before trump took office.

This is really bad timing - should have come to a head 2 years ago. Really poor timing.

Greed. Effing greed. And it’s a weight on the rest of us.

This investigation started under Biden three years ago. DOJ sat on it to now.

To be fair, the investigation started three years ago when Biden was President and she left Newsom’s office in December before Trump came in.

The monthly cost does that too. And look at that deductible.

Ick ick and holy crap how crazy is it that they lost their founder to gun violence and now this….

I think they will do that anyway. More likely - 1. Complete cluster with holiday travel or potential for an unrepairable mistake, 2. Distress from SNAP stop creating anger and crime and an appeal to the right, or 3. The forcing of seating the last Epstein vote and it cycles the thanksgiving news.

I know. Sigh.
November 10, 2025 at 3:08 AM
I’m so sad for the small business people and freelance workers who will be fleeced with their health care costs. This should not have been on the table.

Does this mean that the house has to go into session? Epstein files for the thanksgiving news cycle?

What happened that you couldn’t get the caucus to stick together?
November 10, 2025 at 2:34 AM
I noticed that too.
November 10, 2025 at 2:21 AM
We keep prolonging the fight. I fear each time, the stakes and status will increase.

Ew ew ew!!!

The administration is doing just about everything they can to destroy the dollar.

Likely because oz has never had a website that wasn’t a dot-com for profit business. (At least he actually stepped in to help when the CEO collapsed.

The person who fainted is the CEO of one of the drug companies that made the deal. But they hadn’t introduced him to the press so no one knew who he was when the incident happened.

The photo of chaos behind him while Trump stares straight ahead … priceless. Oh, and RFK ran away when it happened.
