They. All. Knew. They. Know. Feckless, vile cowards, each and every one of them.

Update: the DOJ has now pulled this sentencing memo from the docket. Please judge for yourself whether this fits the definition of Orwellian.

Shorter version: Mike Johnson and the MAGA GOP in the House of Representatives voted to neuter itself as a functioning branch of government in deference to King Donald. #Brazil

Something as sublime as this shouldn't be this destructive. View from inside the eye of Melissa from the Air Force Hurricane Hunter reconnaissance TEAL76 (WC-130) with hell on earth just a few miles away from their position. Awesome view of the stadium effect.

This is pretty wild. $2,000 bucks for a Samsung fridge — that shows ADS in your kitchen (in addition to weather, time, etc). You can’t turn off an individual ad w/o turning off the entire widget. Who asked for this?

My president-elect Catherine Connolly. She’s got a landslide, knocking the right into the shadows & showing up the petulance & ignorance of far right clowns & Ultra-Catholic theocrat’s ‘spoil the vote’ campaign. Ireland remains one of the few liberal democracies to reject fascism

An extremely well-written and inspiring piece by an old friend. Take the time to read this.

At some point, the NFL is going to have to do something this officiating. They can’t just ignore the problem forever, can they? Watch Eagles LB Nakobe Dean get tackled on his way to Jaxson Dart here

Here’s the brutal truth from above: this satellite view shows exactly what Trump destroyed. He swore he wouldn’t touch the East Wing. He lied. The disinformation campaign claimed only the carport was coming down—pure cover. What actually happened? He leveled it all. Every office.

The East Wing of the White House has ceased to exist. It’s a memory, living on only in photos & video. Crush underfoot by the bloated monstrous weight of an outsized ego that’ll NEVER be satisfied. #RepublicansDidThis #EastWing #WhiteHouse #EpsteinBallroom #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
