President Joe Biden’s number of lifetime appointments to the federal bench surpassed the first Trump administration’s Friday and set records as the most diverse selection of judges by any president in U.S. history, according to federal judiciary observers.

This is quite a report about Rep. Kay Granger, whose last vote was six months, ago, found to be living in memory care. The Dallas Express seems to have nailed it, despite no official confirmation from the congresswoman or her staff. dallasexpress.com/tarrant/excl...

To prevent Trump's threats of political prosecutions from becoming reality, @joebidenbsky.bsky.social should act now

Whatever the outcome, I wish everyone would drop any pretense that Pete Hegseth is fitting to lead our military men and women. They deserve so much better.

An appeals court has ruled that Idaho can enforce most of its anti-abortion travel ban, making it the first state in the nation to do so.

obviously this guy shouldn’t be within 100 miles of the department of defense but i think it is interesting that none of our Meritocracy Defenders have come out to say that we shouldn’t hand important jobs to plainly unqualified people like hegseth. weird! i wonder what’s different.

🚨NEW on CNN: Audio and video we uncovered show Vivek Ramaswamy spent years attacking his DOGE partner Elon Musk as a puppet of China. Calling him “in China’s pocket,” “bending the knee to Xi Jinping,” and jumping “like a circus monkey” to get favors for business in China. www.cnn.com/2024/12/03/p...

Imagine being more outraged about a pardoned son than a convicted felon as leader of the free world

didn’t see quite the same level of outrage about these pardons

This sounds right

Looking forward to learning how appointing an accused child-sex-trafficker as AG and a suspected Russian asset as DNI will lower the price of eggs
