You know that scene in Return of the Jedi where an annoyed R2 D2 chases around an Ewok, mildly electocuting it with his built-in taser because he and his friends had R2 tied to a dolley while they were preparing Han Solo for dinner?
Great scene.
Great scene.

VP Harris: Both parties have failed to hold the public's trust. People are done with the status quo. In comes Trump, casting himself as the change agent, with empty promises. Trump is a symptom of a failed system. As we plan for what comes after this administration, we cannot afford to be nostalgic.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Last night marked Kuf Alef Kislev—the 81st anniversary of the Satmar Rebbe's escape from Nazi-occupied Europe. His rescue and founding of Williamsburg's Hasidic community shaped our city. Grateful to celebrate this history with the community and greet the rebbes.

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.
