Is the House gonna declare this auto-pen pardon void? 🤔
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it
I don't know if you can really cheat at RCIA, but if you can, he did. 🫤
Nobody nukes a whale like ODOT.
Similar to my favorite concept, what is that you only learn from losing, which is definitely uncomfortable.
See, everyone says that Dems are bad at politics, but what if this was the plan all along? Acquiescing to progressive demands to abolish the filibuster by making Republicans do it for them! It's genius! 🤪
Trump: “…BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE STONE COLD “CRAZY,” THE CHOICE IS CLEAR — INITIATE THE “NUCLEAR OPTION,” GET RID OF THE FILIBUSTER AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
In my one and only supermarket slip-n-fall, nearly 25+ years ago, video showed crap on floor and showed 7 employees, supposedly trained to spot and clean up, just walk past before my client slipped on it. I sometimes wonder if I could've MSJ'd that. Negligence seemed pretty straight forward. 🤷‍♂️
This was my one real knock on the film. Once the nuking of Chicago was unavoidable, there was time to sort it out, ala 9/11.
I mean, today a federal judge had to tell the director of CBP not to teargas children who are trick-or-treating on Halloween. So, yeah.
“.. Andrea Soria, whose daughter plays at Luna y Cielo, overheard her 6-year-old whisper to her dolls: ‘We have to be good or ICE will get us.’”

Excellent news. Now hoping that the 11 judge panel doesn't contain a majority of Trump appointees.
Some more good news for Portland. The question now remains how many more taxpayer dollars will Donald Trump waste on his failing lawsuits to try and fulfill his authoritarian fantasies. I'll keep working to defend the rights and values of every single Oregonian.
9th Circuit grants request to re-hear appeal of order blocking National Guard from Portland
A three-judge panel overturned the order blocking Trump from sending the National Guard to Portland, but Oregon asked for the appeal to be reheard by a larger panel.

At least I won't have to also retain any of this new knowledge. 🤪
I guess the one bright spot is that I'm learning about all sorts of boards and commissions that I'd never heard of. 🤷‍♂️
Breaking WaPo:

The White House just fired all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, an independent federal agency that was expected to review some of Trump's construction projects, including his planned arch in Washington. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
White House fires arts commission expected to review Trump construction projects
The moves comes as President Donald Trump pursues efforts to build a White House ballroom and a triumphal arch in Washington.

Just finished "House of Dynamite." What a ride. Incredibly unnerving.
Baseball is a fascinating dichotomy. This is the most boring game, in any sport, I've ever watched, and yet I can't stop watching. Is this what it's like to be a cricket fan?
Looks like good fruit. 🤤🤷‍♂️

We’ve progressed from watching the baseball game to being held hostage by the baseball game.
Fox's outro music at the end of each inning is solid.
Is this game an extension of Scott Bessent's imaginary Canadian psyop?
I felt a connection, which was weird as I'm not a Marlins fan. That explains it. 🤪
This is the first MLB game I've watched in nearly a calendar year. Just because I turned it on in the 11th inning doesn't mean I'm not entitled to see this Ohtani guy do whatever he does that's such a big deal. PITCH TO OHTANI, YOU COWARDS!!!
I Googled it. Apparently managers can now simply signal an intentional walk and skip the pitches. It's a rule change to speed up the game.
How did Ohtani get walked? I didn't see any pitches. Can they just file an "Intent to Walk," like a filibuster in the Senate, and off he goes?
