That’s been said many times before. But they’re still in power.

Then why is he still one of their most powerful ministers?

They have a guy who, when they get into trouble, doesn’t know them.

I too don't want anyone taking medical advice from RFK, but guess who voted to confirm him as the person people should take medical advice from.

Take 2 acetaminophen and call Trump in the morning…

You’re in the pod world now.

You *are* in hell.

Be afraid. Be very afraid…

I think Vance’s description is an accurate assessment of their absence of maturity. Proved by the way they talked like…. JD Vance (with the quiet part said out loud).

They don’t have to do it.

But companies just can’t seem to refuse it.

And thus more power goes into fewer and fewer hands.

The exact opposite of what we all need.

I love how the Brits call their djs “presenters”. More accurate, less fun.

Michael Murphey wrote the song.

That makes her torture an *official* government act, not merely permissive of wilding by guards.

The Coast Guard (the ones who are most responsible for stopping drug flow by way of the seas) are doing their job.

Since then, the creepies moved to DC, and sent emissaries to Chicago.

*By* AI, or *with* AI? Two different kettle of fish. “With” is a tool in the hands of an artist or professional (think Stevie Wonder with the then-newfangled electronics). “By” is cutting the human out of the process, turning over the whole work of ‘thinking humans’ to the ‘thinking machine’.

Then where is the money going?

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

It wasn’t much of a hit. in relation to most Beatty movies.

I hope they don’t fly back to New York….

You’re not the only one. Back when he started on WFAN, so were several of the call-ins when referring to him. One even was mad at him for boasting about being an Eagle, when New York hates the Philly football team.

It’s like vampires in the presence of the Cross.
