In a military that still believed in rules and discipline, this guy would be hammered for engaging in clear political campaigning while in uniform.

But because he's doing it for a Republican, odds are good that nothing happens.

Is the House gonna declare this auto-pen pardon void? 🤔

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Similar to my favorite concept, what is that you only learn from losing, which is definitely uncomfortable.

See, everyone says that Dems are bad at politics, but what if this was the plan all along? Acquiescing to progressive demands to abolish the filibuster by making Republicans do it for them! It's genius! 🤪

Trump: “…BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE STONE COLD “CRAZY,” THE CHOICE IS CLEAR — INITIATE THE “NUCLEAR OPTION,” GET RID OF THE FILIBUSTER AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

In my one and only supermarket slip-n-fall, nearly 25+ years ago, video showed crap on floor and showed 7 employees, supposedly trained to spot and clean up, just walk past before my client slipped on it. I sometimes wonder if I could've MSJ'd that. Negligence seemed pretty straight forward. 🤷‍♂️

How awful. 😞

This was my one real knock on the film. Once the nuking of Chicago was unavoidable, there was time to sort it out, ala 9/11.

I mean, today a federal judge had to tell the director of CBP not to teargas children who are trick-or-treating on Halloween. So, yeah.

Excellent news. Now hoping that the 11 judge panel doesn't contain a majority of Trump appointees.

Senator Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov · 5d

Some more good news for Portland. The question now remains how many more taxpayer dollars will Donald Trump waste on his failing lawsuits to try and fulfill his authoritarian fantasies. I'll keep working to defend the rights and values of every single Oregonian.

9th Circuit grants request to re-hear appeal of order blocking National Guard from Portland

A three-judge panel overturned the order blocking Trump from sending the National Guard to Portland, but Oregon asked for the appeal to be reheard by a larger panel.

I guess the one bright spot is that I'm learning about all sorts of boards and commissions that I'd never heard of. 🤷‍♂️

Baseball is a fascinating dichotomy. This is the most boring game, in any sport, I've ever watched, and yet I can't stop watching. Is this what it's like to be a cricket fan?

I felt a connection, which was weird as I'm not a Marlins fan. That explains it. 🤪

This is the first MLB game I've watched in nearly a calendar year. Just because I turned it on in the 11th inning doesn't mean I'm not entitled to see this Ohtani guy do whatever he does that's such a big deal. PITCH TO OHTANI, YOU COWARDS!!!

I Googled it. Apparently managers can now simply signal an intentional walk and skip the pitches. It's a rule change to speed up the game.
