Please don't add me to follow lists.

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Donald Trump is a confessed serial sexual predator, an adjudicated rapist and a convicted criminal.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.

Walked out of desperately seeking Susan. Was on a first date, both of us were bored, went to Dennys instead.
Dated for 4 months, realized we liked each other as friends. I went to his wedding 2 years later.

Greg Abbott is Trigger Happy. Ruthless. Ignorant. Injustice & bad faith are contagious. But Napoleon was right. Nothing recoils with more force than injustice & bad faith. From Napoleon's Address: 1808 Spanish Campaign:

"See how injustice & bad faith ever recoil upon those who are guilty of them."
