Very much worth reading parts of Judge William G. Young's ruling taking on the Trump admin's assault on the First Amendment.

Notable that a decision from a Reagan appointee is filled with paragraphs like this one.

We need to come to terms with the fact that nothing is illegal, unethical, or unconstitutional enough for Republicans to go against their own. And (with some exceptions) the current Democratic leadership is too feckless to use what little power they have.

This woman did this 5 days after a C SECTION. Also is using her viral fame to raise money for rare disease research after she lost another baby to one. What a tough cookie

This being a Florida Man story, I'm surprised he didn't eat them raw.

Florida Man Is Accused of Killing, Cooking and Eating Pet Peacocks

The man admitted to killing and consuming two of the birds over a feud with a neighbor who was feeding them, according to an affidavit.

We need better Democrats if we want to save democracy.

I'd say we need better Republicans too, but, well...

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.

These two gotta go.

John Gillette said Democrat @jayapal.house.gov urging protests is a call to overthrow the government and she should be put to death. He thinks the J6 rioters were "political prisoners" who did nothing wrong.

So what Yosemite Sam here is saying is that the president is so frail and weak that he can’t walk up stairs. Got it.

Maria Bartiromo: "The escalator stopped as soon as he and the first lady stepped on it. Look at how great Melania was. She's unphased. She walks on it ... but this could've been a massive, massive issue. The president being frozen there in one place makes him vulnerable."

Just so we’re clear, MAGA is interested in free speech the same way it’s interested in antisemitism on college campuses. That is, not in the slightest.
