My friend keeps telling me "Cheer up. You aren't stuck in a deep hole in the ground, filled with water."
I know he means well.

Dr Oz announced that “Americans will lose 135 BILLION pounds by the midterms.”

Wow!!!

There are 342, 783, 851 Americans.
That means we will each lose 393 pounds!

I remember when we used to hold a president in a position of honor. Not a king but reverence, respect.

#delirium Benadryl® and similar meds — just didn't take them if you're over 65. Or probably 50.

Prescribing 1st-generation antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine, hydroxyzine, meclizine) to hospitalized older adults is associated w/ ⬆️risk of delirium, according to this study of 328k inpatient admissions in Canada.

Just don't do it!

Crow: "It's so telling that when members of Congress simply remind service members of the Constitution and their duty to obey the law that he cannot handle that and resorts to threats of violence and execution. That tells you everything you need to know about Trump's respect for the Constitution"

For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

Yes! This was the message of the failure to convict Trump on either indictment: the Constitution can handle a despot … if most legislators do the right thing. John Adams: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

The most important thing to remember about all this fantasy-engineering of the Constitution is Madison's warning: If we suck as a people, no clever constitutional schemes will save us.

Trump’s reported demand that Ukraine capitulate to Russia is a corrupt scheme that undermines both U.S. and European security. I want Americans—Democrats and Republicans alike—to make their voices heard. Contact your senators and representatives and tell them that you reject this approach.

The DoE has reclassified numerous health professional and other degrees, limiting access to federal student loan programs eligible for the higher OBBBA loan caps from thousands to a few hundred.

As ALWAYS, this is about $$.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.
II. Credibility The Court next addresses the credibility of the parties’ evidence and witnesses. After reviewing all the evidence submitted to the Court and listening to the testimony elicited at the preliminary injunction hearing, during depositions, and in other court proceedings, the Court finds Defendants’ evidence simply not credible. [FN 6] Plaintiffs submitted a mountain of evidence, providing the Court with over eighty declarations, numerous videos and articles, and other evidence. Defendants did not rebut anything that Plaintiffs set forth in their declarations or testimony, even with BWC footage. [FN 6] In another case considering some of the same evidence presented to this Court, another court in this district also found that the perceptions of certain of Defendants’ declarants, such as Hott and Parra, were not reliable. See Illinois v. Trump, No. 25-cv-12174, 2025 WL 2886645, at *5 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 10, 2025) (noting a “troubling trend of Defendants’ declarants equating protests with riots and a lack of appreciation for the wide spectrum that exists between citizens who are observing, questioning, and criticizing their government, and those who are obstructing, assaulting, or doing violence”), motion to stay denied in part, 155 F.4th 929 (7th Cir. 2025).
