My Congressman Mike Thompson is righteously pissed about the Padilla throwdown.
Dude's fuming.
Only other time I've seen him close to this pissed is when a gaggle of Tea Partiers showed up at an ACA roundtable with a bunch of hospital CEO's and started screaming vile shit in his face.

Heh. Saw and ad for the new Samsung phone and happened to catch the small print toward the end.
Said Galaxy AI/Gemini would be free for the rest of 2025.
They added that crap to an update and totally bloatwared my phone, which already took forever to get rid of Bixby and the rest of their crap.

For decades, there had been whispers of a vast trove of 20th-century guitars, in private hands, somewhere in the tri-state area. Now, for the first time, what is considered the world’s finest collection of vintage guitars will be showcased publicly.

Then, one day, she stayed. And kept building, with Dorianne watching.
Now, she takes the branches directly from her hand.

If you think you can rely on elected Democrats alone and you don’t need to take to the streets to say you’ve had enough with Republican recklessness, rejection of due process and tyranny, you’re not paying attention.
