Old enough to remember when Dan Bongino was supposedly livid that the Epstein files weren’t being released and was on the verge of resigning. What happened to that?

Americans are only 4% of the world‘s population. Maybe we’re really smart and we account for 5% of the world’s smart people.

That still means that 95% of the smart people don’t live here.

Science works best when you cluster smart people together

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

The FBI keeps insisting it’s “restoring integrity.” That’s adorable. Integrity isn’t a slogan, boys...it’s what you demonstrate before you get caught trying to clean up your own Watergate X 10,000.

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

Why do we have gender segregated ponds in the first place???

Is this Saudi Arabia??

Helen 🏳️‍⚧️✊🏻💕 @mimmymum.bsky.social · 2d

“Another degrading possibility… is to allocate times during which the ponds will be trans-inclusive.”

Imagine scheduling time to “allow” black, disabled, lesbian, or Jewish women to use the pond - outside of that time, they’d be banned because of the ‘feelings’ of a group of privileged white women!

The Hampstead Heath ponds debate sets a dangerous precedent for trans rights

Trans rights are being debated, again.

Why is a public pool segregated by gender to begin with?
