This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.
Doing a rewatch of #TheWestWing

There are so many things - talking about the next 20 years - where they were bang-on prophetic!
Well, the Japanese do have reverence and respect for the aged and infirmed ;)
The days when we thought our government could actually work like #TheWestWing could…

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Ronald Reagan wasn't the only American president to recognize the dangers of tariffs. Here is what JFK said in 1962 upon signing the Trade Expansion Act:

Oh, and release the Epstein Files, you dirty paedophile.

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

In other news/thoughts, the escalating meanness toward Canada is so sad and infuriating, especially after seeing "Come From Away" at the Muny this summer.

I mean, this is a people (Canadians) who hospitably sheltered thousands of Americans and other travelers during 9/11.

Unbelievably sad times 💔

an FBI official says the alleged NBA gambling ring involves the "Toronto Rangers" (not a real team), which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their investigation

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom
Really?

With everything else happening in the world?
Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."
There is zero question - whatever you believe about his authority “remodel” the White House - that the President did not have the authority to demolish the East Wing.

The servile cowardice of the GOP in the face of this illegality is a lasting stain on their honor.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

This doesn’t even include the ones who had pending case but he had their charges dropped.
