10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

HELL YEAH: In a masterful speech, the Democratic governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker announces not ONLY a balanced budget in his state but alludes to Donald Trump and Elon Musk as being “IDIOTS.” Let me know if you agree with him.

NEW: Judge Dale Ho has concluded the hearing in Mayor Eric Adams’ case. The short of it: Emil Bove & Adams denied the existence of a quid pro quo. An interesting argument from Bove: he claims Ho can’t stop the dismissal even if there WAS a quid pro quo. Judge will issue his ruling soon.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

How obvious is it that Musk doesn’t head DOGE? So obvious that Trump’s press secretary refuses to say who does. It walks like a duck and talks like a duck, but it could be a monkey! Who can say?

In the SDNY we called them "deceased payee cases" in which a deceased person's SS checks continued to be cashed by a family member. It wasn't a common crime years ago & it's less common now w/ better death reporting. Liar/lunatic #ElmoMagalomaniac exaggerates/misinterprets the data of course.
