Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

I’m an army veteran who, thankfully, did not encounter war. While in, some of my mentors were high ranked, and had encountered it. None of them ever wanted to see it again. They were usually the sticklers for training in case it did but also demolished any younger soldier who desired it aloud.

The GOP conflates our distaste for their policy as hate for America. They are terroristic in nature and their talking points are largely anti-American.

Another asswipe that wasn’t aware that the leopards would eat his face and thought he was in on the grift. Problem here is the entire USA minus the cash hoarders and republican Congress are being grifted and footing the bill for all of this. More Luigi.

At an impromptu neighborhood gathering in our mixed ethnicity neighborhood. Alex came and stayed mostly quiet until the subject topic turned to TV. Out of nowhere he pipes in with “Archie Bunker is a national hero”. Stopped all conversation dead. Awkward laughter. He didn’t bat an eye.

The $50K was given to him in a fast food bag.

I had a rich friend in my 20’s, who was a complete fuck up, got involved in a drug deal sting. Undercover fbi gave him $5K to get coke. My friend went on a Vegas bender and blew it all and the fbi tried to charge him w misappropriation of gov funds.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Definitely that. 4 years tracking 4,000+ child sex abuse cases, the chance that perp was republican maga is 85%+. Many of them clergy, teachers, elected officials, coaches, and police.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Americans, this weekend, in conjunction with the No Kings protests, will get a full view of the people Noem hired to be ICE agents. They will display their racism proudly, they will hide behind masks because many have criminal histories, they will commit acts of violence on innocent bystanders.

“They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.”

Whipped out a batch of my spinach and artichoke dip and looked over and saw a bag of quickly ripening avocados.

Artichoke and spinach dip stuffed avocado is now my new favorite dinner. They complement each other perfectly with a bit of sour cream and salsa and tortilla chips.
