I still remember that the Jeni's Supermoon beat all the others (for me, at last.) but just think about how many pints would be needed if we'd continued at that rate for seven more years...
Where was I seven years ago tonight? Attending Chessiecon in Timonium, Maryland, about to dig into a multiplicity of ice cream flavors with friends, something which started small, but as it turned into a tradition, grew. Oh, how I miss that con ... and all that ice cream!

I have long had an obscure, complex theory about Susan Collins that explains these things.
Susan Collins is terrible and anyone who ever suggested she is a moderate is a liar or a rube.
That's it. That's the whole thing.

In case anyone is wondering what kind of campaign Collins intends to run next year, now we know. No achievements, only hate:

In short: Even though the court ordered discovery based on the likelihood of vindictive and selective prosecution, we don't even need to get into it and you should dismiss the charges now given we just learned the DOJ lied to a judge about Costa Rica not accepting Mr. Abrego.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers inform a federal judge about the Washington Post's bombshell: The government's claim that Costa Rica will no longer accept Abrego has been exposed as a lie.
More evidence—"if any were needed"—of vindictive prosecution.

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.
The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:
