To be clear, the Judge scheduled a hearing for Thursday, saying she needed the time for the parties to provide her with more information before she made a decision. This is hardly a win for the Trump administration.

Breaking News: A federal judge declined to immediately block President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Illinois. The judge’s ruling came as a military official said 200 troops from the Texas Guard were headed to the state.

No surprise. My alderman, Sposato, didn't sign. Not only is he a jackass, but he's also useless as far as constituent services.

Remember during covid he said if we stop testing we won't have any cases. Same thing here. If we don't count unemployed people we won't have unemployment. He is deranged.

It's not Chicago. It's Broadview, a suburb. It's blocking a public street, so I would think the Broadview powers that be could do something

Comey's lawyer is Patrick Fitzgerald. Too bad cameras aren't allowed in federal court. I would love to watch that matchup.

He deleted this one but posted a corrected one adding Lindsey Halligan's last name and correcting layers to lawyers.

I never knew my Uncle Buddy because he died of polio when he was a child. Mom and Grandma were ecstatic when my siblings and I lined up at school to get the vaccine.

Remember Scrooge was first visited by Marley's ghost. Epstein's ghost for Trump would be perfect.

To Donald Trump and his administration:

If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.

Seems there's a bit more to the story than just three divorces.

shauna @goldengateblond.bsky.social · Aug 11

quick reminder that kim davis has no business dictating anyone else’s personal life when hers is the stuff of white trash reality shows

Davis has been married four times to three husbands. The first three marriages ended in divorce in 1994, 2006, and 2008. Davis has two daughters from her first marriage and
twins, a son and another daughter, who were born five months after her divorce from her first husband. Her third husband is the biological father of the twins, the children being conceived while Davis was still married to her first husband. The twins were adopted by Davis's current husband, Joe Davis, who was also her second husband; the couple initially divorced in 2006 but later remarried.

Robert Duvall as Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird. He wasn't on screen much and had no lines, but damn he was riveting.

Or this has been explained to him, possibly by more than one person. But, like with the BLS statistics, he thinks they're wrong. Since he's the arbiter of everything he's always right.
