Left of centre, happily living where getting shot or medically bankrupted are unlikely.
Cornpone is 60 and has been in elected offices for 32 years.

ICE has booked at least 3,800 children +

(Drawing by a 5-year-old detained in Texas with her mother. “I am 5 years old” is written at the top. Lower down, next to stick figures, are the words “let us go.” You don't have to know your Bible to hear myriad echoes here, but phew, those too.)

A noteworthy takeaway from tonight's Texas result is that the Republicans spent a metric truckload of money on this race. They spent millions more than the Democrats. The loss itself aside, this is a gigantic, flashing warning sign for the GOP's finances.

It’s encouraging our future overlords can behave like bumbling drunks.

DM me? We used to get hundreds of highly qualified applicants for a single job posting. Good prosecutors are increasingly hesitant to work for this DOJ.

Interesting take. Not sure about the 2011 and NZ part (this was from Songs of a Distant Earth, written in the 50’s) but can’t argue with the 2nd paragraph

And THIS is why you get involved in local politics. No decent judge would have signed off on this.
1/ NEW: @propublica.org has obtained a search warrant that the FBI is executing for records related to the contested 2020 election in Fulton County, Ga., which has not yet been widely shared. It’s an extraordinary document.

I’m sure this will be thoroughly planned and have extensive post operation planning for management of multiple scenarios.

Just so you know,
The lining of your gut would cover a tennis court and is replaced each week.
So you’re not lazy, you’re actually pretty busy.

Note the difference in reactions.
Trump cowers and hides behind his detail.
Omar moves towards him.
Pretty much all you need to know about character

The magistrate who signed off raiding Georgia voter records looks like you’d expect.
The requirements to be a magistrate are what you’d expect. A GED!?
Appointed BY AN ELECTED JUDGE. Local political involvement is important. This woman has no business as a judge, let alone a public toilet

Don’t for one minute buy any of this “corporations are speaking up” bullshit. They worry about their stock options and their paycheck. They feel zero responsibility to anything else. If they could make money skinning live kittens, they would do that.
