I assume that every single journalist reading this understands that the *first question* to ask the State Department tomorrow morning is how quickly it will provide a list of foreign nationals banned from the United States for statements made about Democrats or Americans perceived to be left-leaning

The NY state apple harvest season is in full gear. Workers are out in the apple orchards on a daily basis climbing up and down ladders to fill these huge 900 lb bins so we can enjoy this sweet fruit. #WeFeedYou
A bin partly filled with apples and two more bins empty and one more at the end partially filled

“Appropriators are frustrated,” said one senior GOP member of the House Appropriations Committee who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly about the administration. The lawmaker called the pocket rescission “stupid.”
Congress is losing its grip on the power to spend Americans’ money
Congress is supposed to control spending, but increasingly, the White House is dictating how America’s money is used.

Speaker Johnson calls Saturday’s No Kings event a “hate America rally” run by “the pro-Hamas wing and Antifa people.” It’s the old debater’s trick—conceal a weak argument by attacking your opponent, even if you have to make it up!

One indicator you’re not Nobel Peace Prize material is if the country which hosts the totally independent Nobel committee believes you’re gonna retaliate against them because you didn’t win.

What do you call a political system where those in power refuse to seat a duly elected member of the opposition party? Not a democracy that’s for certain.
Screenshot of a tweet from Rep. Greg Stanton (@RepGregStanton) on X. The tweet says House Republicans are shutting down the House to avoid swearing in Adelita Grijalva, calling it undemocratic and unacceptable. The image shows a mostly empty House chamber with several representatives, including Stanton, standing near the podium.

No need to imagine. Check the docket. While the record-setting penalty was set aside on appeal, the fraud findings were upheld:

I can’t adequately express how mystified and nauseated I am by the conversation about Trump receiving a Nobel Peace Prize that corporate media is now leading. But as a journalist, attorney, historian and Trump presidential biographer I’m now obligated to make the case *against* in full.

Here it is:
Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene
The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.
