This normalizes corruption, feeding the sentiment that both sides suck and so politics is pointless. A Dem party focused on rehabilitating its broken brand would be criticizing Trump and booting out Cuellar. Let the corrupt guys become corporate lobbyists - they’re dragging our party down.
Jeffries claims the charges against Cueller were "very thin" and says Trump's pardon was "exactly the right outcome"

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Democrats can't hold official committee hearings, but they absolutely can gather in a room and invite people to answer questions and stream it live and invite the press to cover it.
NEW: Jim Jordan and House GOPers refused to let the American public hear directly from Jack Smith, per his attorney.

In college, I had to read the Department of Defense’s Law of War manual.
I kid you not when I tell you that firing at the shipwrecked is quite literally provided as an example of an illegal order.

A year after Barnes & Noble opens in Wicker Park, nearby indie bookstore forced to close
Volumes Bookcafe, which has been open for a decade, immediately saw a “significant” drop in sales after Barnes & Noble moved into the century-old Noel State Bank building in October 2024.

When Miami Beach gets packed, follow the locals.
The Financial Times asked me to create a survival guide for how to enjoy Miami Beach when more than 75,000 people come to town for Art Basel Miami.
Locals know where to go to have a good time — without fighting traffic.

“another half-forgotten city, / wearing another man’s rags— / a scene he might have written: / streets snaking around him, / steaming and sulphurous, / rain dirty as it left the sky— / one last maze before the foothills of hell” —Nicholas Christopher, “Walt Whitman at the Reburial of Poe”

I was an Ange-in guy but I was also hopeful for Frank. Seems like a decent guy. After Conte/Mourinho, not being an ass goes a long way with me. But feels like we’re back to where we were pre-Ange: starting a rebuild from the beginning. A lot of season left and I’m not excited for any of it.
