I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Women deserve actual healthcare, not Oscar winning actors marketing their supplement woo as healthcare. And since Gwyneth for sure sees how much buzz Halle Berry's supplement woo is getting from yelling at Newsom, I'm sure we're about to get Goop yelling about him too.

People are all sharing this approvingly, but the reason Halle Berry is mad at Gavin Newsom is because her scam AI menopause supplement health woo company can't bleed taxpayers because of the bill he vetoed.
A pox on all of their houses.

"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

It sure looks like Russian intelligence attempted to use military drones to assassinate the President of Ukraine inside an EU country.
Looking forward to more thoughts from Belgium on why freezing Russian assets is an escalatory move that might compromise the peace process.

The Government Accountability Office says it has opened an investigation into Trump's Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte.
Pulte has weaponized his office — accusing Federal Governor Lisa Cook and several prominent Democrats, including New York AG Letitia James, of mortgage fraud.

It is not war or the fog of war. There is no war. It is murder. We have the mightiest military in history and we are to believe these tiny boats are a threat? If they are trafficking drugs, arrest them. But it’s not really about drug trafficking at all is it?

Dead Fishermen Ruin The Narrative
When truth is inconvenient, this administration buries it; along with the innocent people its recklessness kills. Their lies crumble the moment real bodies wash up against their fake storyline.

I think it’s bad that leaders of companies are visibly up to their gills in stimulants now. Did nobody tell them that, contrary to how they make you feel, those things make you stupid? This is why everyone needs some fuck up friends growing up, to teach them that there’s no good way to abuse drugs.

If you're serious about disrupting the drug-smuggling operation, you follow the boat to its destination and then seize it and arrest both the people on the boat and whoever they're meeting. They are killing these people simply because Stephen Miller wants to shoot some brown people in the ocean.

Surely even the most die-hard institutionalist Democrats can see that the Supreme Court is hopelessly compromised. So where the hell is the political will to challenge the conservative justices’ integrity and finally make hard scrutiny of the Court’s decisions a non-negotiable Dem Party priority?

I am not convinced that the Supreme Court will come not come up with a nakedly partisan reason to reject these maps but (1) Dems should do them anyway and (2) defy federal court orders to the contrary
Democrats can retaliate against these GOP gerrymanders with new maps in Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, & Virginia.
They could flip 7 GOP seats to make up for this & new GOP maps in Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, & possibly soon Indiana.
Imposing costs is the only way to deter the GOP from doing this
