Our Ernie died this year too, after 15 years. He was my reading buddy. Sorry for your loss.

Maybe detention ( #ICE or otherwise) shouldn't be a horror regardless of status.

Also, is there a non-disquieting horror?

Great effort by local restaurant to step up for the community in a crisis. Heartwarming, until you remember that it's being brought about by a bunch of authoritarians and fascists who kill thousands worldwide and at home while giving tax breaks to billionaires rather than feed/medicate the needy.

How long until the #whitehouse, with its destruction for what's sure to be an embarrassingly gaudy #ballroom, is referred to as a palace?

"It's very nice, it's like a palace"
"It's palatial, really"
"I like it, I've made it into a palace"
"It's a White Palace now"
"It's my palace"

Can a Secretary of War (which we don't have) use a memo sent from the Department of War (which we also don't have) to federalize NG troops?

Not for nothing, Trump appears (as in shows up) to mislead the public every time he appears

Let's have work requirements for #Congress. Seems only fair to the #Medicare recipients they're screwing over.

Also note the inadvertently acknowledged truth that the Republican Congress is operating as part of the Trump Administration

Bove to courts: "Fuck you"

@nytimes.com : With the passage of a few days' time since the revelation of that incident, he now can be termed "taciturn". Got anything newer?
