TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

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

It's a lot of work, being on Mastodon, remembering which "instances" to sign in and out of so you can comment or share. 30 minutes and I've made like, one comment, and I'm exhausted.

#SmarmySmile Johnson can't keep the House out of session forever. He doesn't look like a man afraid for his life, so there is an endgame.

If "Antifa" is really an organization, why don't they ever spam me?

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this "I Hate This Timeline" pin. Think of all the great timelines we could be experiencing. One where dogs can talk. A timeline where Game of Thrones didn't botch the ending. One where Keanu Reeves became president and convinced Putin to be cool.

A round pin with a distraught looking frog. It has a black border that says "I Hate This Timeline".

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

So Johnson thinks football's not white enough? Maybe we should see what happens if players of color all stay on the bench for a month.

Weird how they put all their efforts into using technology to replace human creativity and art and then say creative arts degrees are useless.

The whole Conservative party working together has been unable to answer this question. That's a bit scary right there.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Woman shot by ICE agents in Chicago last Saturday has been released from custody today by judge since body cam footage contradicted the government's claim she drove toward the agents. Instead, it revealed the agent saying, "Do something, bitch," before pulling over and shooting her five times.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.
