The thing the nimbys don’t realize is that denser housing and mixed zoning will make their home values go up.

When people wonder how Epstein continued to have powerful friends even after everybody knew, consider that a Nazi salute followed by blithely starving children and cutting off their life sustaining medicines wasn’t a deal breaker for anyone in power positions.

Congressional Dems really need to hold their republican colleagues' feet to fire on every one of these crimes the president commits.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Philip should get all the $10/month and $5/month subscriptions he can, but several tens of thousands of $1/month subscriptions would also go a long way. Be a Bump Booster.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

One thing great about baseball is how it’s meant to be a drop-in engagement. How you can go from “I wasn’t planning on watching” to “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME REFS” in a two hour span is what keeps it our American Pastime.

My partner teaches a two week seminar to incoming law students the summer before their first semester. The class is called Intro To Legal Writing, but it really could be called How To Read And Write.

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.
