“Grandma doesn’t need slippers.”
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:

"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Whether it’s Republican politicians joking about the murder of Melissa Hortman or Democratic politicians expressing their condolences after the murder of Charlie Kirk, both parties have a extreme rhetoric problem.

Because you got a nice office and a pension and people bring you coffee and drive you around and do whatever you tell them to do and you don’t have to live at home among the people you claim to represent, who you probably don’t very much like to begin with
11. The bigger question for the House GOP: why the hell do you want this job? Congress is a coequal branch. Your decisions affect every American. If you think that you should only do what Trump wants regardless of the ask and even if your constituents don't like it you aren't a representative.

McCaul, like all the others in his party, is terrified of saying anything that reflects poorly on Trump. So he now lives in a world where “totally obliterated” also means “temporary setback” to Iran’s nuclear program
Rep. Michael McCaul hand-waves away Trump claiming Iran's nuclear capability was "completely obliterated" when it clearly wasn't, saying the difference is just "a matter of semantics"

Damn, this conclusion:

“We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital... This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the best that is within us while there is still time.”
