Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

Does anyone believe that the Epstein files that are getting released haven’t been altered?

First time this year I’ve been in the barn to hear @wademinter.com say “one minute remaaaaining in the period.”

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

I did a thing!!

It’s a full on novel (maybe novella is 64k words) set post Veilguard (in an AU where the Veil falls).

An incredible artist did multiple amazing art pieces for it.

One time when I was traveling I DoorDashed a sport bra and the shopper subbed the 36DD I ordered with a 36B.

Just laundry folding thoughts.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Jane Goodall died.

She was my hero when I was seven years old, and every book I read about her and every interview I ever saw only reinforced my first impression of her amazingness.

We were all blessed that the world had 91 years of Jane Goodall. She was an incredible human being.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Someday, my daughter may wish to play hockey at a higher level.
Luckily, her mom has all of her greatest hits recorded.
She had a shot on goal and a goal in this 18 second video…and boy. I did a great job capturing them.

Instead of Rick Rolling people, Mahna Mahnaing people should have been a thing.

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. Not just because the crook Homan has the audacity to demonize immigrants as criminals and destroy families and communities but also because Black electeds always get prison time for so, so much less than this.
lol. Emil Bove intervened. The guy that Senate Republicans just confirmed for a lifetime position on the federal bench.

So Trump gets DOJ to drop an obvious bribery case against Tom Homan, then fires the US Attorney who found insufficient evidence to prosecute Letitia James, then threatens to fire Pam Bondi and replace her with dunce Lindsey Halligan unless she immediately indicts his enemies.

How is this reality?

I do not celebrate Charlie Kirk’s death.

However, the fact that the right is holding him up as a martyr is weird and strange and awful.

Especially strange since Kirk was pushing for a release of the Epstein files. The same files trump wants hidden.

He’s more useful to the GOP as a martyr.

Today I got to use the word “theophany” in a sentence for the first time in my life.

I pronounced it wrong.

I shall never speak again, obviously.

The future the right wing hopes to implement for Charlie Kirk.

Don’t let them.
