Least Weasel: Did you know the Speaker of the House of Representatives has always had the power to refuse to seat a duly elected Representative? I knew that, but I guess Democrats don't. Least Weasel: The Senate Majority Leader can also just refuse to seat a Supreme Court Justice. I guess Democrats don't know that, either. Least Weasel: Now, if you'll excuse me, I have boots to lick. So many boots.

I have an iPod Touch but I need to get a new cable to charge it. Not sure it can still take a charge.

Instead it reads, "In general, unauthorized immigrants are not eligible for federal health care coverage programs."

Both the section of the Big Stupid Bill referred to here and the Democrat-proposed amendment in the CR say what Johnson says here. The real lie here is that the OMB report does NOT discuss all the illegals draining the system.

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

Well, this is accurate, in that the failure of the legal efforts left Trump free to run again, which absolutely should not have been allowed.

When Dems controlled the chamber, did they know they could just...not swear in duly elected representatives? Did they know they could just not allow Supreme Court appointments they didn't like?

How can the GOP do all this when the Dems can't even stop the proclamation of Charlie Kirk Day?

American Flag: Trump said, "when they burn the flag it agitates and irritates crowds." American Flag is silent a moment American Flag: He does realize that's the point, right?

What we don't need is an AI illustration here. You could've emailed me and I'd have done you a nice watercolor.

I agree with the sentiment but this is some seriously low-effort cartooning. The New Yorker has rejected my cartoons and is running this? Makes me sad.

I'm on the email list for the Calder Gardens and for the life of me I can't remember if I signed up for something years ago or if it's spam that I kind of want to see.

I argue that UBI is just the dividend we all deserve from the efforts put in by our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and on back, to make a better world for their children. We're the children and they worked for us to have this!

I don't miss working in IT but I do miss the pay. I was at or near the very bottom of IT pay scales (especially for my age) but still it was significant.
