So πŸ€”Sunday Evander Kane, who admits to having a gambling problem in the past, dines and hangs put with the head of the FBI and four days later, Kash Patel et al. arrest coaches and players in the NBA and some Mafioso for illegal gambling schemes... Is Evander Kane of the Vancouver Canucks a rat?
Sorry Canucks fans, it gets way worse

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

The Founders anticipated the possibility of a corrupt, venal, lawbreaking, wannabe monarch president.

What they did not expect is numerous people achieving prominent national office and not wanting to guard their own power. The combo of ego to run but pathetic absence of ego in office stands out.

The president got his feelings hurt, so we're doing 10% more tariffs on Canada. Joke of an administration.

Watch this and listen carefully.

Singapore PM on the change in the global order given the US is no longer the insurer of stability - a sentiment that will go beyond the current administration. But nobody else has stepped in building a foundation of multipolarity amid turbulence.

I think my favorite thing about "every city reveals its inner character" era of ice protests is that people keep saying portland is weird or cute or nice or silly when one of the most common chants at the ice building is people looking up at feds on the roof and yelling "jump! jump! jump!" in unison
Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight
The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call β€œNazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

Thank goodness again for body camera footage!
β€œA U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement agent arrested in August on suspicion of driving drunk questioned the nationality of a sheriff’s deputy and threatened to check the deputy’s immigration status, according to newly released body-camera footage.”
ICE agent in Keys pulled over in DUI asks arresting deputy: β€˜Are you Haitian?’
The ICE agent’s blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit, arrest report shows.

Apparently, Speaker Mike Johnson needs to be sued in order to do his job.

By not swearing in Rep. Grijalva, he's silencing over 800,000 Arizonans.

This is clear disregard for the democratic process.
