As anticipated, GOP senators like Tillis & Cornyn took principled stands against Trump making his personal attorney, who has shown no inclination to do anything but what Trump asks, regardless of the law, the top law enforcement official of the USA - then meekly caved at the 11th hour, just b/c...

Writer. Not much else to say about it.
How's come Trump's doing "favors" for the reviled Islamic Republic of Japan?
I got a good laugh out of this... Former Clinton svengali James Carville, for the past few years screeching Democrats will only ever win again if they sever all ties with progressive politics, /1

According to new court filings, Capital One closed the orange felon’s accounts in 2021 due to extensive patterns of money laundering. Once a fraud, always a fraud and that criminal piece of shit has been using the US govt as a tool for his latest money laundering operation.

Good god! The WWE actually programmed LA Knight to get the pin WITH HIS FINISHER on a major pay per view?!!! Is the world coming to an end or something?!!
Love him or hate him, some Dylan inspiration for Friday: Preachers preach of evil fates while teachers teach that knowledge waits, can lead to hundred dollar plates & goodness hides behind its gates, but even the President of The United States must sometimes have to stand naked
According to the latest Fox News poll, if the election were held today, we would own the House and the Senate, so let’s make sure we’re all registered and vote big in November!
Lemme get this straight... The GOPincels are all in a lather b/c The Odyssey presents a Black actress as demi-goddess Helen of Troy... but not a word about the same actress playing Helen's TWIN SISTER?!! (Not that they should, but I mean...)
I know it's a renowned classic, but Sorry, Wrong Number's plot pivots entirely on Barbara Stanwyck's character being an utter dolt...
I realized around mid-Friday afternoon this year the main value of Comic-Con to me is it's 3 days (I always leave Sunday morning now) I'm forced to practice being sociable...
And lastly, can we just put to rest the idea that billioniares like Mr. Shop and Mr. Space X believe in democracy! They don’t! They resent the power it gives people. They can buy politicians but they can’t buy YOU! Your vote is your power, take it seriously and protect it by protecting democracy.
The Energy Secretary demonstrates once again that the Administration's p.r. handbook is Orwell's 1984, & proclaims data centers will bring energy costs (&, presumably, water prices) DOWN in areas where they're built. Tho' for some reason he didn't let us see math... (The fact-free administration.)
Whoa, show some respect. That's PRESIDENT Pedophile Protector to you!

We skipped the light fandango, turned cartwheels cross the floor. I was felling kind of seasick. The crowd called out for more, and the room was humming harder as the ceiling flew away. When we called out for another drink the waiter brought a tray...

@aclutx.bsky.social: No one should have to face what the Salgado family is going through. ICE agents are racially profiling, shooting, and killing people in our streets. This horrifying violence must end. Now. #iceoutnow #abolishice #Pinks
A rule we need, & need to religiously enforce: If you rig the game, you do not get to then complain others aren't playing by the rules...
A federal judge just ordered all of the Epstein files to be turned over to him and DOJ must defend each redaction. This is solely because of Katie Phang’s @katiephang.bsky.social lawsuit. Yay independent journalism! #TRUMPANDEPSTEIN #EPSTEIN #EPSTEINFILES
In 75% of US industries, fewer corporations control more of the business than 20 years ago. That's especially true in the food industry. Just four corporations control 54% of the fresh-cut salad industry, including Taylor Fresh Foods. We're seeing in real time the danger of monopolization.
