Even in an emergency paying over $1/unit for those garbage masks is such chump shit
Lol Matt Van Epps was part of the $8 million graft purchase of those pesticide-laden sock masks (which had visible holes, for those of you who don’t live here). Incredible shit.

This is who we're deporting while we're importing sex traffickers like the Tate brothers and white supremacists who are nostalgic for Apartheid.
I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Maybe DJT should educate himself on why people migrate: War, famine, violence in their country. We should be helping them, not closing all the doors.
Wake up - we have a global migration problem. We should be gathering with other leaders around the world to find solutions. Stop blaming the victims

They have polling showing him significantly underperforming with big asses and honky tonkers.
Does Van Epps appearing with Kid Rock mean that they have polling showing him losing ground with Gen X? Like, who is that supposed to rally?

Didn’t Jacob Wohl catch a criminal conviction for doing basically this?
In the #TN7 race, Matt Van Epps and Republicans have resorted to sending mailers as if they are a Democratic agency and intentionally giving the wrong date to get people out to vote.

I agree with this sentiment completely. Juries are wrong plenty of the time, but they are basically incorruptible, and not a single juror has ever worried about being reelected or reappointed to the position.

Two of Tennessee’s Court of Criminal Appeals judges just disqualified themselves in a shaken baby case. The Governor’s Council for Judicial appointments just nominated *both* of them for a promotion to the Tennessee Supreme Court.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.
There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Could have gotten a bazillion dollar valuation if they’d just added blood test results on top of this.
Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

So I participated in a Zoom CLE the other day. There was a live transcript that was perfect (not just good; *perfect*). I don’t know what the technology is, but court reporters charge a per diem of hundreds of dollars plus thousands of dollars to create the resulting transcript, which takes weeks.

I finally got around to reading the dissent in the Texas voting rights case. It is the most unhinged judicial opinion I’ve ever encountered and it’s not even a particularly close call.

It’s also just bad writing. The economy of words matters; he could have just said “it’s the Jews” and been done with it.
My “my 17 references to George Soros aren’t political” footnote is raising a lot of questions answered by my footnote.
But worry not, he has a footnote explaining why his fixation on Soros "is not political."
