“If we all pay the same bribe, it makes us all the same level of criminal and they can’t prosecute us all” is quite a C-Suite mind-meld.

lol

If CBS caves, they're paying Trump to lie. Why would he stop?

Anyone hating on this untrained assistant, not a teacher, for dragging this kid that is not struggling, btw, has never been in the life of an autistic child. I have one. And there wasn't a day at this age where I didn't have to restrain him, carry him kicking and screaming somewhere for some reason.

It’s frustrating how much good work, some of it mine, has been disassembled under Trump. One day, we will know why we are choosing to lose in the ‘clash of civilizations’ between democracy and corruption.

He should RTO and make sure to send the shareholders a list of five things he’s accomplished every week

This. We need to rain down legal retribution hard and fast. A wave of legal justice.

We have some news to share with you. 🥄 Today we took legal action to challenge our termination, filing an appeal with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. We did this because we believe the elimination of 18F violated safeguards that exist to protect a nonpartisan civil service.

yes. they literally blame higher education for a social order that doesn’t give unquestioned deference to people like themselves

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did not release any scientific studies to support this change in policy. Of course.

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

Germany, France, UK, and US lift all range limits on Ukraine’s attacks inside Russia. Moscow within range. Germany’s Merz: “There are no longer any limitations on the range of weapons supplied to Ukraine — not from the British, not from the French, not from us. And none from the USians either.”

Rural hospitals are already fighting to serve their communities. Yet, the House GOP just voted to slash Medicaid funding that keeps their doors open. It’s cruel and it's just plain dangerous. www.americanprogress.org/article/medi...

En banc Fifth Circuit overrules decades of precedent and holds that there is no First Amendment right to receive information in a public library.

I always "love" opinions where courts say "doing our job would be hard, so we're going to rule in a way that saves us a lot of time, rights and SCOTUS precedent notwithstanding." To me, the most egregious of these is McClesky v Kemp:

House budget bill would lead bottom income quintile to lose ~4% of their income on average ($800), but top percentile would see their incomes rise 4% (nearly $70,000). If tariffs remain in place, the overall impact on families would be even more regressive. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/dis...
