My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA. I expect new cases will be filed this week.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

View From My Window Was nice to see a shiny when I opened the curtains. Clear on Friday at 5:36am. Got up near 90F. Same this Saturday. ? Maybe 95F on Sunday. Getting Fire Weather Alerts. A splot of Exceptional Drought centered on San Antonio. But the grass here is green somehow, some wildflowers.

I've always wanted a car with a roof that flies off for no reason, but doors that don't come off while you're burning alive inside it. My dreams have come true.

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.

WSJ Editorial page welcome to the resistance?

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

The dream is dead

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

Green. Green is bad. Green is against god's design. ~~~~ "these ‘green new deal’ policies that really go against God’s design for nature" ~~~~ Green grass is bad. Green leafies is bad. { I did not alter the color of the image }

Did you know? The word “trumpery” appeared in the 15th century with the meanings “deceit” or “fraud”. 100 years later, it was being applied to objects of little or no value. Then in the 1900’s, it came to mean “showy but worthless”. — Today, it is equated with “fascist shit”.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Nobody in Customs will know how much to charge as the rate changes hourly.

We had trade agreements around the world. We broke them. Now we have to renegotiate, in a rush, without expertise, with countries who know their interests and who cannot trust us. Here’s how that puts America First. by Peter Navarro

INSANITY: As measles tears through West Texas — infecting hundreds, hospitalizing dozens and claiming the lives of two children — some state lawmakers are pushing bills to roll back vaccine requirements and expand access to exemptions under the banner of “choice.” #Measles

"Apparently"? You should absolutely go arrest those very real 25,000 people right now. You have their addresses. Go! In fact, if you *don't* find every one of these absolutely real fraudsters and convict them all in court, then that's clearly a sign of your utter failure in office.

This was three months ago.

The manure is about to hit the fan. Capital Economics estimated on Wednesday that shipments from China to the U.S. could drop by >50%. So we can just make this stuff in America, right? Not only do we not make this stuff in America. We don't make the machines that make this stuff in America #EconSky

They are obviously slow learners

"historic gain!!" When you drop 4000 and come back up 2000. Note that the "pause" is only for the bananas numbers that were wonky to begin with. Still 10% everywhere. China 143%, and they replied, 143%. 25% steel & cars, etc.

Average Intelligence Pinterest-style I wander by and see this pic that has All the colors and textures and intricate details. "based on your likes" reposted by reposted by anon posted by. All the serial numbers filed off. Pretty. But here's the suicide stair. With handy blade.

I’m not reposting anything with RFK Jr’s face on it out of respect for xour eyes but “autism epidemic” is like saying “freckles epidemic” or “cleft chin epidemic” it’s not a disease it’s just a way some people are and the thing we need to fix is a hostile societal framework.

Get yourself one of those garden noems to scare off MS-13.

It is becoming unbelievably difficult to stay both informed and sane

Dow plunges 1,014 pts as Trump raises China tariffs to 145%, Tesla craters, bond market spikes, and House GOP backs a $5.8T debt bomb to fund Trump’s billionaire tax cuts. Panic, chaos, and insider trading rumors swirl. Catch up now:

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

Nobody is saying this. They have to conjure up imaginary libs to argue with since they can’t win a debate with real ones on this issue.

Amazing that without even mentioning a name, EVERYONE knows exactly who it's referencing.

Shimmer and shine

Garcia: The man can't even go and play video games anymore because the people he's playing with are harassing him. And I think that he understands that he's the most unlikable person in this country

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

Crockett: This administration has someone who is heading up DHS that is going out there cosplaying with guns, it’s clear she doesn’t know how to operate the guns
