Worth a watch. Never knew Whoopi’s role as Sister Mary Clarence in Sister Act was originally intended for Bette Midler. Can you imagine?? Legit can’t even picture anyone other than Whoopi playing this role. Love hearing Black Elders talk about their experiences. ✨
The Heritage Foundation is run by Opus Dei Catholics Kevin Roberts and Roger Severino. More than 50% of the 100 orgs behind Project 2025 were funded by Opus Dei affiliated Leonard Leo. Miss the faith driven politics and you miss the story. jesspiper.substack.com/p/give-them-...

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.
Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

GPS eliminated the need for folded maps. People have a hard time even explaining how we got around without GPS navigation.
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 4h agoAir quality. I grew up in the Los Angeles basin in the 70s and 80s and remember having to stay inside because the smog was so bad - Stage 2 smog alerts, they were called. Apparently they haven't had one of those since 1988. Haven't had a stage one smog alert since 2003.
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

JUST IN: 🇶🇦🇮🇱 Qatar says Israel is blocking progress toward peace in Gaza.
This example can be applied to all things Trump, including his stubborn Iran failures and his unending 2020 election lies.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 6h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.

Trump and Republicans are having a hard time selling the Iranian war. Republicans claim that Iran would have used nuclear weapons against the USA. Now the narrative is that Trump DGAF if nuclear weapons were used in CA or NY or MN of any other state that didn't vote for him.

Crazy to think a decade ago I was completely apolitical, enjoying my straight white guy privilege, oblivious to 99% of the world around me. And now, because yall radicalized me on twitter (according to my family), I'm more in tune with the Michigan democratic primary than the NBA offseason.
BREAKING: Pirro has dismissed the case against Davey Hearn for vandalizing the reflecting pool, saying that there's no way vandals could have caused the damage.
What we are witnessing in our Country is more than a political disagreement. It is the normalization of moral collapse. It is the elevation of ignorance into identity, cruelty into virtue, and corruption into culture.
If you're an eligible voter, please ensure you're properly registered; that you have the correct ID for voting in your state of primary residency; and please vote this fall to help protect programs like Medicaid and Medicare
ICE is back in Echo Park. They detained people at BofA yesterday and are in Everett Park right now.
These online banking security questions are getting ridiculous now.
The guy who campaigned on grocery prices is gold-plating horse statues on our dime. It’s going to be hard to tell the difference between Washington, DC and the Las Vegas Strip in a minute.
Fauci may invoke his 5th Am right, despite Biden’s pardon, which applies only to crimes he “may” have committed in the past. Unless Congress grants him immunity from using his statements against him, he has a reasonable fear of future prosecution from this DOJ. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Anthony Fauci invokes Fifth Amendment right not to answer questions at GOP-led Covid hearing, calls Rand Paul ‘unhinged’
The former top health official said he was invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid the possibility that Republicans on the Senate committee might try to prosecute him for perjury.
