As he ducks the Zohran question, worth remembering Senator Booker has gotten $900,000 from AIPAC. (He also voted for Kushner’s pardoned father’s ambassadorship)

“Canadian media: Stop normalizing Trump’s propaganda. Canadians hate Trump for resurrecting Nazism — there’s no diplomacy when it comes to the American president. You have a public responsibility to report with extreme prejudice, and discussing the ravings of a madman isn’t journalism.”

Off grid,Baby! Of course, there you have the trade off of backbreaking labor (usually), and a need for security from bears, for blessed silence

I yearn for the sounds of silence.
People doing their lawns sets off the barking of dogs which sets off babies crying.

“It’s becoming more and more apparent that Bill 21 was never about limiting religion in public-sector jobs — it’s really about banning all non-Catholic religious symbols from sight.”

He used a Tumblr account to share pics & vids of child pornography during his time as a Vatican diplomat in Washington.

They let him out & he’s back at work.

Rev. Carlo Alberto Capella was released from prison and quietly returned to work after being convicted of possessing and distributing child pornography while serving as a Vatican diplomat, according to reports on Catholic blogs.

A convicted priest is back at work. Child advocates want Pope Leo to act.

Carlo Alberto Capella served prison time for a child pornography conviction but was allowed to return to work at the Vatican, posing a test for Pope Leo XIV.

If you steal and get caught with top secret documents you still get to golf and campaign for President.

A lot of people hate the Republicans because they are evil. A lot of those very same people hate the Democrats because the Democrats have been so ineffective in fighting evil.

The Bulwark @thebulwark.com · Aug 3

A recent WSJ poll found Democrats’ popularity at its lowest point in 35 years, with 63 percent of voters holding an unfavorable view of the party. Maybe that's not because Trump is popular, but because Dems have to fight harder. ICYMI @lauren-egan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/chuck-schu...

Schumer’s Moment of Truth

The September government-shutdown deadline will show us how willing Democratic leaders are to take on Trump.
