So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

Does it have to be the speaker by law or is that just a norm that most of us live by and the wingnuts ignore at every opportunity?

a high armhole allows for freer and more comfortable movement

I do find that taking notes lessens the pain somewhat.

Relatedly, packing up my office for a move down the street and came across this framed tweet from 2019 announcing the imminent launch of @mass.streetsblog.org. One of my prouder moments.

The President of the United States is living in an alternate reality and it's long past time for media outlets to start talking about it.

We're beyond "Trump said without evidence." Trump is governing a world that only exists in his warped mind.

Dominionist POS. Look forward to judgment day when they get handed the 25th chapter of Matthew and explain how they never recognized the person they claim means the most to them…

Speed safety cameras are astonishingly successful. We know the tools that reduce traffic violence. Legalize them.

lol just now seeing this
Flyer reading: California Ave is for CARS ONLY! The best thing for our community is maximizing CAR STORAGE and CARS DRIVING on California! Join us in supporting cars over people! The Farmer’s Market is already the WORST time of the week: ★ families strolling ★ kids playing ★ local businesses benefitting from all the foot traffic DESPICABLE and frankly UN-AMERICAN! And now there’s talk of extending that safe, quiet environment of community and human connection for the whole weekend! Who wants that? WE DON’T! The ONLY thing our neighborhood’s most popular commercial corridor needs is TWO LANES of car storage and FOUR LANES of car traffic. There’s simply no room for anything else. Together, we’ll keep California for CARS NOT PEOPLE! Join us @ CarsOnlyCalifornia.com

Today marks yet another day that Speaker Mike Johnson has denied Adelita Grijalva her right to govern.

She won her special election on Sept 23rd but has yet to be sworn in.

Why? Because she will become the 218th vote needed to discharge the release of the Epstein files.

Say her name.

Very trivial observation but Harrison Av has got to be the worst street in Boston. Both in terms of the condition and the absolute shitshow of trying to navigate it

Like there is a literal mogul in the street. wtaf

Satisfying to see the heels at a worse than it seems 2-3 under the spent randy hoody. May they go 2-11… I have spoken.
