I’m guessing it’s a 50/50 chance the pipe bomber gets a pardon, based on what letter comes after his name.

Waiting for them to start claiming that the alleged pipe bomber is either Antifa or trans.
Mark Warner: "I hope it would remind folks that J6 was an ugly, awful day, and this administration and president basically pardoned all the perpetrators. It's that kind of picking and choosing of facts from this crowd that makes me a little bit crazy."

This’ll be interesting given the pipe bomber is MAGA and Trump pardoned all the 1/6 MAGA.

Comer: "This is a fake economy. You can't have 1/3 of America receiving some type of free government healthcare and then have another 1/3 that's getting a subsidized rate. That falls on the final 1/3 that's having to pay increased premiums."

Hey for those of you who don’t have kids, pls know that until recently, schools had stopped teaching phonics for decades.
The substitute method sold to districts everywhere was, & I’m not kidding: “Just look at the word & take a guess!”
OH WHY CAN’T THE CHILDREN READ? SURELY IT IS THEIR OWN FAULT!

Or is it the vaccine?
DON’T discount this! The vax was NEVER tested long-term.
30 years ago, Democrats would never have had blind trust in authority. I don’t know what happened to many of you, but my mind is open to many possibilities

I’ve been noting the same thing for decades. Rockefeller and Carnegie and Ben Franklin all used their wealth (at least in part) for the public good.
It’s not a partisan thing, but today’s wealthy don’t seem to have that altruism.

I thought the First Amendment kept people from jail. A person can say what they want but we WANT businesses to fire people who talk like the Klan, don’t we?

Also Gina Carana I think was pro-Israel when she got fired from Mandalorian. Not sure if that’s worse than what Kimmel said though.

The thing is that Roseanne got cancelled for making a racial slur, something Kimmel didn’t do.

If you tease an Epstein client list like it’s a Taylor Swift album drop, don’t be surprised when people are outraged it doesn’t exist
DOOCY: The report says there's no Epstein client list. So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on desk?
LEAVITT: She was saying the entirety of all the paperwork was on her desk

This is K2-18b.
It’s a planet outside of our solar system, about 2 1/2 times the size of earth, orbiting a small red dwarf star.
The James Webb space telescope spent time studying this planet via spectroscopy and determined it has gases in its atmosphere that are only created through biology!

Schumer may be voting Yes, and I think Fetterman is a Yes?
Anyone else?
Odd that Schumer would flip unless he knew he’d be on the winning side.
