Still one of the most perfect mashups of me. When I first showed it to Krissy, she had no idea why I was showing her a picture of the Three Stooges.

I don't know if non-lawyers understand how insane this statement is. I honestly can't think of anything remotely comparable in non-lawyer speak. I guess the closest would be a surgeon saying "Imagine if I had to wash my HANDS before doing surgery!"
Mike Johnson speaks out against the use of judicial warrants in immigration cases:
"Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant"

America deserves justice that works for all of us.
That means impeaching Pam Bondi. It means impeaching Trump. And it means establishing a Department of Justice that does not answer to the President and his corrupt whims.

If you ever wonder why they all think they can just crime in public and nothing will happen... it all goes back to Roger Stone and all the crimes and shit he pulled off going back to Nixon's campaign for which he has experienced 0 negative consequences.
It’s a really bad sign if they are calling up Roger Stone who ran the Brooks Brothers riot in 2000 (to stop the Florida recount), cavorted with the Proud Boys & Oath Keepers before Jan 6, & was a primary architect of so-called “Stop the Steal” campaigns in 2016, 2018, and 2020, 1/

New research finds negligible benefit from "minimum passing distance" laws requiring drivers to give cyclists space when overtaking them.
Protected bike lanes are far more effective.

Got close passed within inches on Pacific Highway the other day next to where the construction site at Perry's is blocking the bike lane. Right in front of an SDPD cruiser. They don't give a fuck.
How many California drivers even know the law on passing people on bicycles much less follow it? Has anyone ever gotten a ticket for violating that law?

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Agent: These guys were all threatening us yesterday with hand guns.
...
Agent: *Hand* guns, like threatening to shoot us.
Reporter: You mean like with hand symbols?
A: Pulling them out, trying to engage us.
R: Pulling out literal guns?
A: No. Making... assuming we were going to do something.

I was sitting in a hipster coffee shop this morning, it was packed with liberal whispering to each other what a timeless masterpiece Melania movie is.
Kayleigh: My mom went to see Melania. She said the theater was packed, it was standing room only. People were cheering through it, they were excited. It was interactive—people interplaying with the film. She said it was just electric.

What Blanche is missing and what the GOP has forgotten is that the public can condemn legal behavior that is morally depraved. But I guess when your party's entire fucking point is moral depravity you kinda sorta lose sight of that.
