Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

Candlelight Ceremony
for the Day of the Dead

Día de Muertos
Noche de Muertos

Janitzio Island
Lake Pátzcuaro, México

George E. Holton (1945)

Respectful celebration and remembrance of loved ones. Family members bring votives to light the darkness, food, drink, candy, flowers for the departed. Along a curved road, rows of seated figures with candles and tied bundles, layers of mountains, small church, and lake in the distance

MORE MAGA cruelty: GOP Rep. Clay Higgins says that the $4,200 SNAP benefits received per year (which is $80 per week) to feed a family is more than enough. He added that people on SNAP should "Stop smoking crack." www.mediaite.com/politics/hou...

House Republican Tells Food Stamp Recipients, ‘Stop Smoking Crack’

Rep. Clay Higgins has little sympathy for millions of Americans whose food assistance benefits are set to expire on Nov. 1.
