It would be great to have a president whose demented whims didn't require me to rebalance my portfolio several times a week

Well not any more! Market futures are predicting a robust rebound from Friday's losses. The Dow futures are now up
327.
Nothing to see here, folks—everything is fine!

A photograph of General High Brady, captured in his 80s during the late 1840s. Born in 1768, when the American colonies were under British rule and King George III reigned, he is among the earliest-born individuals ever photographed.

"…when a prosecutor conducting a grand jury inquiry is personally aware of substantial evidence that directly negates the guilt of a subject of the investigation, the prosecutor must present or otherwise disclose such evidence to the grand jury before seeking an indictment against such a person.”

Then figure out how to mass-produce them. There are a lot of gardeners who would love having a whole lawn of these start glowing at dusk.

I think total lifetime earnings of an American is like 1.5 million. So just set that much aside and you’re set for life. But these dipshits didn’t even have the 10% restraint necessary for that.

In other words, "these rulings that give the president virtually unlimited power can not be used as precedent for the next president".

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

In Alabama, incarcerated workers in a work-release program must take jobs at private companies—but 40% of their wages are docked as a “labor-trafficking fee.” A recent lawsuit brought by incarcerated people argues this is a modern form of convict leasing.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

One reason the GOP wants to replace government aid with churches is that churches are not required to provide aid to all or equitably

Because it needs to be said:

The Salvation Army does not exist to save you

The Salvation Army exists to convert you

And if they cannot convert you, they will not lift a finger to save you

Do not support those whose “charity“ comes with conditions

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

“In a time of darkness, New York must be the light.” 🔥

Instead of running from trans rights @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social leans into fighting for ALL New Yorkers.

He understands a good campaign tells the story of the place he’s running to represent— and the people in it.

Hard to imagine why republican members of Congress are fine with the destruction of national assets which protect everyone.
But instead of stopping this, they went on vacation.

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

I think bar associations really have a role to play in this revolting state of affairs. The arguments are in such blatant bad faith, the people making them should be shunned by their peers.

The case against Comey is beyond weak. The case against James is worse. It is based on a lie, and they know they're lying because exculpatory evidence that contradicts the indictment had already been presented to a grand jury in another jurisdiction. Everyone involved with this needs to be disbarred
