Rare credit where it’s due. This is the correct headline.
Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore. When your SpaceX rocket hits the moon like a big piece of junk and you don't give a shit, you're a moron.
In the 1950s we had 700 different chemicals in our food Today we have over 10,000 in our food In Europe, they only have 700 still today. Kelloggs makes the safer Canadian version and the American version. Two different options, same manufacturer. Americans have been sold out sadly.
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…
HMMMM!! Not seeing ReThug calls for Max Miller to step down! I guess wife beating/threats don't count the same as harassment of single women? Old Testament view of women as chattel, perhaps? Rep. Chuck Edwards drops re-election bid after censure recommendation www.axios.com/2026/08/05/c...

Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"
It's sad the way Seattle voters have lost touch with the Seattle Times editorial board.

russia struck Kyiv with cluster-warhead missiles Absolute scum. Cluster warheads release dozens of small bomblets over a wide area, making them especially dangerous for civilians
Once again. It's simple! The only reason that the Epstein files have not been published is that they incriminate the president of the United States, and those others who are in a position to stop them from being released.
Keep hoping we'll see one of the victims decide that the wheels of Justice need some grease.....

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.

MacFarlane: I think it's an anti-establishment era we may be entering here. Look at all the different ways in which people are bucking against establishment. If El-Sayed is somebody who channels people who don't want the establishment to run and to reign, he's going to have a big night…
Glad they landed, though I was hoping as part of the floated "30 Minutes" idea!! Great resources for students, though I hope their "real life" lessons don't discourage ambitious youth from following the journalism track!!
