Sadly, Louisiana is not on the list, continuing its tradition of being at or near the bottom of every list rating states for positive attributes, and at the top of states rated for negative attributes (maternal & infant mortality, incarceration rates, etc). But “Laissez les bons temps rouler”, eh?

Yes! Supreme Court dicta be damned. Or—if corporations are now recognized as “people” by the S.Ct. then when they break the law their principals go to jail.
“No one is as liberal as an indicted Republican.”

Well, did you learn from your mistake?
No more votes for ANY Republican or Trump initiatives. Not for the foreseeable future.

“And recently it has been Ms. Greene who has taken a victory lap.
“On social media this week, she posted a New York Post front page from last year that referred to her as ‘Moscow Marjorie’ and pictured her wearing a fur hat with a communist seal.
‘Badge of honor!’ she commented.”

He is truly Senator Foghorn Leghorn. What a sad travesty, when you look at where he started.

They can write the truth in Pennsylvania. In LA, all the powers in the Education System are still running around with blinders on and their fingers in their ears. “La-la-La-La-La … Charters are great … charters bring choice …”

“In this new world where the foreign policy of the most powerful country on Earth has been rapidly reorganised around the fragile ego of a sullen and resentful old man, you might as well launch missiles at America’s eastern seaboard as utter a few words of rebuke.”
How refreshing! The simple truth.

Krause’s credentials as listed by Musk: “Expert”.
“Read-only access”? I call bullsh*t.

When [Bessent] has been asked — repeatedly — if Treasury has tried to block any federal payments, he has stated unequivocally that “we have not.”
Maybe not—but he gave access to the Musk team which certainly has blocked payments. Another lie.

James Burnham—previously served as a clerk to Justice Neil Gorsuch. On a website for one of his past companies, Burnham is described as having played a “central role” in the selection and confirmation processes for Gorsuch, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and then-Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
Oh my.

Jacob Altik—slated to start as clerk to Justice Gorsuch. HUGE conflict of interest. If clerking for a Court of Appeals judge, would be governed by ethical rules. But of course the US Supreme Court has no mandatory ethical rules or rules of conduct. Oops.

It’s not a department! We have to stop using their language. First step. Come up with a more accurate acronym.

Mexico posted more than 25,000 troops on the border several years ago—no discernible effect on fentanyl trafficking.
Canada announced its border patrol program before Trump was even sworn in.
These are not “concessions” Trump is crowing about. Trump is just trying to save face.

NY State is one vote away from passing single payer health plan for those who want it in that state. If that is enacted, there will be a domino effect—just like what happened in the Saskatchewan Province pilot program that became the Canadian National Heath System. Same with unions.
