I don't know who needs to hear this, but don't even think about dressing up as an ICE agent for Halloween. I know they're an easy target and an easy costume, but far too many families have suffered real harm at their hands. Parents and children are already traumatized; don't make it worse.

I'm so old I remember when only Russian oligarchs in good standing with Putin got this kind of easy money.

Reading a had copy book for the first time in years. That’s twice now that I’ve tapped on a page instead of turning it.

Ha ha. I didn’t notice in the original until this meme emphasized that the placement of the“M” makes a perfect set of devil horns on his head.

That crazy-assed play in Milwaukee just shows how baseball can show you something that’s never happened before when you least expect it.

Huh. Gonna be an awkward day for Secretary of State-National Security Advisor-Acting Archivist Marco Rubio.

www.rickscott.senate.gov/services/fil...

Part of a letter sent by a bunch of GOP members of Congress in favor of granting Maria Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize, which she won today.

The last three paragraphs, before Rick Scott and Marco Rubio's signature, reads:

The Maduro regime's abuses and assaults on the civil society and legitimate
political activity of Venezuelan citizens have caused millions to flee to other countries,
while millions more have had no choice but to remain in the prison Maduro has
imposed on them. The peace of the region has been greatly disturbed by Maduro’s
welcoming of some of the world’s worst actors, including terrorists and dictators who
support him.
It is our firm belief that María Corina Machado’s courageous and selfless
leadership, and unyielding dedication to the pursuit of peace and democratic ideals,
make her a most deserving candidate for this prestigious award. Her efforts not only
highlight the urgent need for international solidarity in the face of aggressive and
expansive authoritarianism but also serve as a reminder of the power of individual
bravery in the quest for justice.

Did he?

Did Schumer actually say “couch” to Vance?

That made my day. Maybe our olds are finally learning how to fight back.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 5d

Someone like JD Vance, who has been on the receiving end of a lot of insinuations, should know to couch his language more carefully.

Anyways, I’ll be here, ready to make a deal to save Americans’ health care and reopen the federal government that Republicans shut down.

A headline from the New York Post reads: “JD Vance calls Chuck Schumer ‘one of the most famous Palestinians’”
