Phone rings. I answer and say hello. I get a recorded message telling me nobody is available to take my call at the moment. I block number.

Marco Rubio claims Times New Roman is the only anti-woke font. When will Trump change the name to Times New American? For that matter why does he like a font created by the London Times? Shouldn't he like patriotic fonts created by Americans?

Amazing how relevant Terry Pratchett can be: “But sometimes you should follow the arrogance . . . You should look for those who can’t believe that the law would ever catch them, who believe that they act out of a right that the rest of us do not have." (from Snuff).

@therickwilson.bsky.social So if generic democrats are +14, what might happen in the new gerrymandered districts, many of which are as little as R+3? Would SCOTUS be doing Texas a favor by throwing out the new map?

Prediction: The supreme court says Trump's tariffs are illegal.
Trump says they can't automatically refund any payments because they didn't keep track of who paid what, so you'll have to submit proof you are owed a refund attested by six senators.
Don Jr. gets his $500 million claim in first.

@gtconway.bsky.social Hey George! Can't we charge Mike Johnson with honest services fraud for depriving all Americans of the honest services of their congressmen? (18 U.S.C. § 1346)
