" ... and no paychecks!"

That's not a normal trip. It looks like he anticipated going down; he clutches at the arm of the man to his right before he falls.
I hope he's okay and I hope he resigns.

All of media is just click art for them to use to tell any falsehoods they wish.

Consider it done.

We can't all wear inflatable animal costumes on No Kings Day. But Halloween isn't far off. Think of a costume you might already have that's relevant but can't be construed as threatening.

We can't totally avoid the risk of violence -- but we can make them look silly if they try.

You need to think of yourself first.

TO;DR

Six months ago, true. Since then, he resigned (Mar. 26) and there was a special election. The seat was won by Keri Heintzeman, also an R, on Apr. 29.
For what it's worth, the split was 69.3% to 39.6% - a 6% swing to the left since Nov. '24, but still very red.

The main exception I can think of: Anyone in line at a polling place at 8 p.m. is allowed to vote, even though 8 p.m. has passed.

But the date/time cutoff applies to all mail and drop-off ballots. (Mail delay? Tough.) You still must sign the outer envelope but the date shouldn't matter.

Judy Lee @judylee.bsky.social · 2d

To those unaware: PA does not accept ANY ballots received after 8 p.m. on Election Day, and hasn't for years. The date once served a purpose, but no longer does -- apart from providing a flimsy justification for refusing to count some mail ballots. That's the core of this dispute.

Does this denial finally put this non-issue to bed?

There's a POTUS who's sure all that glitters is gold
And he's buying a stairway to Heaven

When he gets there he knows, if the Nobel's bestowed,
With a word he can get what he came for

Ooh, ooh, and he's buying a stairway to Heaven

But the winner ain't him, and the POTUS despairs
'Cause we know he's not down with redemption

In a jet in the skies, time for him to realize
That Saint Peter won't make an exemption

The Dems have figured out that the shutdown is a waiting game. It shouldn't be much longer.

Those ACA bills, hiked to make up for the denied subsidies, will go out soon.

Those in the military will be holding their breath on payday.

Farm subsidies don't go out without clerks to process claims.

"Dishonest presidents should be entitled to no deference at all."

This is a valid analysis, the gist of it being that deference based on historical precedent isn't merited when historical precedent is openly being scorned.

Per MuellerSheWrote:
"The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this."

"Breaking," in memes, means that it's BS.

They didn't tell me that aging would be a continuum from zits to wrinkles.

Oh, I love this one. A friend posts an image of Leopoldine Konstantin and Claude Rains every Mother's Day.

That subject line doesn't make me feel better, Equifax.

A subject line from an email from Equifax: "Your credit confience (sic) begins here"
