And, without due respect, where do I tell all Americans that.

With all due respect not all Americans celebrate it. And, all Americans can be inclusive of people on two continents, not just here. I do not celebrate Columbus Day. Get it.

I’ll say it again. Not only did they invent this theory. They CHOSE to deliver it to THIS guy, a dangerous raving selfish moron. They could have waited four years and given it all to President Vance or whatever. They chose to give it to Trump.

Unitary executive theory is not wearing well, to say the least. Soon the judges and legal scholars who hatched it (based mostly on some tiny bits and pieces of constitutional text and a tendentious historical account) are going to be lepers. And they are going to richly deserve it.

There are reasons for sacrifice that come up. This one is huge and the personal discomfort is very small if critical thoughts are applied.

Donald Trump is too simple-minded to realize that when he brags about the White House's tacky new Caesars Palace Ballroom being "privately funded," he's admitting to taking bribes from influence peddlers, millionaires, and corporations that want something from him.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

trump claims he wants to bring manufacturing back to America but now is having the DOE cancel 700m for battery and manufacturing projects already approved by congress under Biden. Looks like he was lying about that also. Thank trump for proving once again he don't mean and good for Americans.

DOE cancels more than $700M in battery, manufacturing projects

The nixed grants appear to be the first the Department of Energy has confirmed from a list that outlines $20 billion in potential cuts.

The NY Times published an editorial citing Susan Collin as "a moderate Republican." Collins is a reliable vote for Trump's agenda, has voted against democracy at every turn and supported extremist judges.

This is why people are abandoning legacy media--even while enjoying games, puzzles & recipes.

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!

A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says:

Dear [REDACTED],
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes:
• Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation".
• Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23.
• Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice.
And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win.
She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security.
Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.

Tom Homan reportedly accepted $50,000 stuffed into a takeout bag from undercover F.B.I. agents. We must continue to ask where the money went, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes.

Tom Homan and the Case of the Missing Fifty Thousand

Lawmakers and ordinary citizens have to keep asking about the bag of cash, or accept an executive branch without any accountability.
