This seems like a leopard kind of thing...

BREAKING: Loretta Swit, who played Houlihan on the TV series "M.A.S.H." and won two Emmy awards for the role, dies at 87.

Welcome to Bluesky, where it's Friday and the primary topics are: - Taylor Swift (something good happened for her) - Committing financial fraud and how best to do it - The Guy Whose Rockets Blow Up

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has been on a tear, vetoing popular bills. He recently rejected a bill to ban the algorithmic price-fixing of rents. He's also vetoed a pro-union bill, legislation to prevent surprise ambulance costs, regulations for social media companies, and more.

while I knew judges have been getting anonymous 'I know where you live' pizza deliveries, I didn't know til writing this piece on Trump endangering judges that many orders were placed in the name of a judge's son who was murdered by someone posing as a deliveryman ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

A recent report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37B in potential legal liability from 11 fed agencies as of Inauguration Day. As he exits, these agencies are still on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped investigations into his corporations. See what this was about?

I regret being able to confirm this. I don't know if it would be physically possible for Rep. Steube to go fuck himself while still licking Trump's boots, but I invite him to find out. steube.house.gov/press-releas...

“The idea that the police are actively tracking the location of women they believe have had self administered abortions under the guise of ‘safety’ does not make me feel any better about this kind of surveillance,” EFF’s @evacide.bsky.social told @404media.co.

Judge Hannad Dugan's initial motion to dismiss the case of her based on judicial immunity cited Trump v US 3X. This one--filed at motions deadline--cites it 15X. 🤣 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

To be fair: Ronald Reagan: Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars) Bush: "Global War on Terror" Trump: decriminalize white collar crime, cancel DEI "More money for rich people" is just part of the underlying GOP operating system.

Scoop: Texas police used Flock's license plate cameras to search *nationwide* for a woman who had a self-managed abortion. Claim it was "about her safety" www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...

President Trump has now pardoned 9 members of Congress convicted of crimes

As it turns out, voter suppression laws . . . suppress the vote.

This seat is open because asshole Democrats in the Senate wouldn’t confirm Biden’s pick for the 3rd Circuit because Biden’s pick was Muslim and did pro bono work for Muslim clients.

The median age of all homebuyers is now 56, up from 31 in 1981:

One thing I'd ask the online left is what's *your* plan to persuade the voters profiled here to vote for you in a democratic primary? Because, yelling at them & name calling probably won't work newrepublic.com/article/1953...

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.
