The GOP wants people to think they have a mandate for the authoritarian regime they’re building. Showing up on Sat shatters that illusion. That’s why they’re working hard to control the narrative. They want to discredit us because they’re afraid of our power. Time to show them the real mandate!

TFW you called the trial judge a "f---ing c--t"; that judge held you in criminal contempt of court; you appealed the holding; and your case at the intermediate appellate court is heard by a panel of -checks notes- three women judges

abovethelaw.com/wp-content/u...

Before: LETICA, P.J., and RICK and BAZZI, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Marshall Tauber, appeals as of right the order entered by Oakland Circuit Court Judge Yasmine I. Poles that held him in criminal contempt and required him to pay a fine of $7,500. Appellant, an attorney, was appointed to represent a criminal defendant. A hearing addressing bond was held over Zoom before Judge Poles. After the court’s bond ruling, appellant apparently believed that the Zoom hearing had disconnected and used derogatory curse words apparently in reference to the judge. But, the judge heard appellant, and he was held in criminal contempt. On appeal, appellant alleges that he was deprived of due process and there was insufficient evidence to support the criminal contempt. We affirm.

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.

The sheer arrogant stupidity of this bloviated orange miscreant and his horde of subhuman misfits in thinking they are untouchable and won’t face consequences for their crimes against humanity and the American people…

Trump: I want to thank Stephen Miller I would love to have him come up and explain his true feelings. Maybe not his truest feelings. That might be going a little too far

So glad I stopped watching any tv, news networks, and other corporate sponsored media years ago…also glad to see them all being outed as the journalistic frauds they’ve been for years…

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

Naw, we’ve had enough civility to last eons and despite some people’s timidity, we’re not going back, we’re gearing up, getting people like Newsom and Mamdani into leadership positions, so get ready for the real American rock and roll…

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

Mockler: I have spent all my formative years watching the President talk about the opposition party like they should not exist. His claim to fame in politics was saying that Obama was not born in America.

you laugh
and the world forgets its bruises

i want to keep that sound –
pin it gently inside
this moment

before it skitters off
small and gleaming
and wounded

like a beetle
escaping our palms.

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.
