My favorite Christmas thing of all time are the cats who take one look at the holiest scene in Christendom and say "That baby's in my spot."

Cully Stimson is one of the few people who *didn’t* resign from the Heritage Foundation today. He now heads up their legal division.
In 2007, Stimson had to resign from the Pentagon after threatening law firms with retaliation for representing Gitmo prisoners pro bono.
How quaint!

The final stage of tetanus when nerves fire continuously & the body contorts into an agonizing posture known as opisthotonus. The mastication muscles clamp down to form the hallmark lockjaw.

Not for the first time, the signature block for Self-Proclaimed U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan spelled it “Virgina.”

Sometimes when I listen to Trump speak I think he is well on his way to dementia.
Other times I think he’s on something.
Then I think it’s just because his vocabulary is very limited and he struggling to read someone else’s words.
But most of the time I think it’s all 3.

If the 25th amendment were triggered by any objective metric of presidential insanity or unfitness, Trump would have been launched out of the White House ten seconds into tonight’s speech. Or 11 months ago. Or daily since.

A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky:
Democrat Gary Clemons won 72% to 25%.
He was defending a Dem-held seat where Kamala Harris beat Trump by 5% last year.

Wow, shades of the 2019 Border Patrol Facebook scandal of Trump’s first term, when dozens of agents were part of a group posting mocking memes about migrants kids who died crossing the border.
This particular officer went viral in the Chicago raids for pulling his gun on people.
