Now it’s time to come together and deliver the case that Democrats must make over the next 90 days, everywhere we go.
I made dinner for my abuser a bunch of times. You have to play nice while you're planning your escape so you don't get dead. Max Miller is a textbook abuser.

For the vast majority of its existence, the Supreme Court has had 1 justice for each circuit court of appeals. There are currently 11 circuits, plus DC. One per circuit would be 12, and to make the number odd, add one seat for the Chief Justice. That’s 13. Not a crazy thing at all.

Oh, NOW, you wanna talk—now that Ukraine is starting to kick your ass with the most sophisticated drone warfare military force in the world. You can end this today. Just announce you’re withdrawing from Ukrainian territory. Then follow through.
The Kyiv Independent@kyivindependent.com · 3mo ago⚡️Russia calls for Ukraine peace talks to resume after months of downplaying them. "We expect our American colleagues to continue their peacemaking efforts," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.
