As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.

So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.

The hypocrisy is outrageous.

At least seven federal prosecutors have now resigned — in just the last 48 hours — rather than accept the order to dismiss corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams.

It’s weird to think that Elon Musk will end up having paid far less for the United States Government than he did for Twitter

Johnson has four options.

1. Stick with the original deal. Piss off Rs/Trump. Lose speakership

2. Shut down govt. Lose speakership.

3. Rely on Ds for Rules, the rule vote and passage. Lose speakership.

4. Find magic beans. Yadda yadda yadda. Win speakership & everyone gets a free puppy.

Guys…

I’m not sure they’re making enough cheesy Christmas movies to get us through the next 4 years.

It's been a heavy day. More thoughts and prayers I guess?

I'll post a picture of my doggo, XC skiing, because that's as much levity as I have right now.

If we did a fraction of the research into our candidates for elected office as we did for our fantasy football teams, we would have the government we desperately need.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.

It’s not rocket science.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Discovered deck.blue and it really makes the exodus a lot smoother. I had cancelled my Twitter account back when Leon took over but have been missing the timely updates for local interests. So far it's been a pleasant experience.
