A Crow is still a crow.

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some grave sites out by the highway
A place where nobody knows

The sound of gunfire off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto
I've lived all over this town

The amazing and always-prescient Talking Heads.

We dress like students, we dress like housewives
Or in a suit and a tie

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?

I’d love to hold you, I’d love to kiss you but
I ain’t got time for that now

In order to get to the truth, it is essential to bypass Bondi, who will never allow the truth to pass her lips, the public needs to hear from the victims.

When someone told Adlai Stevenson that he had “all thinking people” on his side, he famously replied “That’s not enough, madam. I need a majority.”

Lawlessness is lawlessness. Anarchy is anarchy is anarchy. Neither race nor color nor frustration is an excuse for either lawlessness or anarchy.

Statue of Thurgood Marshall unveiled in downtown Columbia
A statue of an important figure in Black history has just been unveiled in downtown Columbia. It's the centerpiece of a new roundabout, created to help share what's long been an undertold story.

One of my best experiences to date at Service Ontario to renew my drivers licence and health card. Making an appointment in advance really speeds things up. I was in and out in 15 min. Both cards renewed with a new photo taken and some pleasant chit chat with the rep.

Remember that Trump has said that if SCOTUS rules the tariffs illegal next month, Trump has said they'll pay all the tariffs back.

Consumers, of course, are fucked--they get nothing back.

Of course, the people paying the tariffs, are who the money from the programs like WIC are going to. Additionally, they are paying more for tariffs, then they might benefit from programs like WIC.

dumb question, but: are we making enough in tariff revenue to fund these programs?

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants
