There are no rules when traveling. Shake Shack burger for breakfast before 7am? Sure, whatever. Time is an illusion.

I'm sure he could shorten this endorsement to 14 words.
Eric Adams, endorsing Cuomo: "New York can't be Europe, folks ... Those Islamic extremisms that are burning churches in Nigeria, that are destroying communities in Germany, that have taken over the logical thinkings. And that's what I'm fighting for."
The first undisputedly true thing she's said
Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."
Well then, glad that's all cleared up and put to rest then.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

This Anthropic settlement is weird bc yeah for sure pay up, but also if they’d asked to purchase the rights to use my books for their trash I would have said no, so doing it anyway and then paying in the form of a settlement is still slimy backdoor shit
As always, "punishable by fine" means "legal for a price".

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.
They believe bluesky is nothing but lefties, so they figure if they make accounts here they can farm violent responses and death threats to help "prove" the left is a dangerously radicalized movement.

So yeah, don't feed the trolls.
Very curious why certain federal agencies decided to migrate to Bluesky. Bored with X? The government is still shut down so presumably they aren’t even getting paid.

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

I explained why flour would be dangerous in reply to their post, and they blocked me.
Flour is a dangerously bad idea.. it's is extremely flammable, especially when airborne in a cloud (like it would be if you were trying to pour it through the top of a traffic cone).

Doing this is just begging for a dust explosion.
FFS they're out there telling people to turn a tear gas canister into a dust bomb.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Instead of "This is inappropriate!" Democrats - especially those who might run for president - should say right now "Anyone who participates in this should know: You are committing a crime, and in the next administration you will be prosecuted."

That will change the frame of the story.
Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.
I spent a few days there for work years back, and absolutely loved the place.
Always exciting when a celebrity joins the FirstNameBunchaNumbers crowd!
