“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of
The Alarmingly Racist History of the Supreme Court’s Canceled 1947 Christmas Party
The Court held its first-ever office Christmas party in 1946. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting Black employees. It did not go over well.

Apparently, Pierre Soulages was in charge of redacting Epstein files (this is a joke for maybe three people).

Everyone knows the most important part of being a congressman is the size of your electoral victory.
In the House, if you win by more than 10 points, they let you vote twice.
And if you win by more than 20, you get to remove one (1) law per term.

when we said “defer electoral strategy to the actual politicians running for actual offices” we meant “after calculating wins above replacement somehow”

Unfortunately what happens is you get a new cartel because whoops turns out that when you empower paramilitaries with the ability to Go After Bad Guys with little oversight it turns out being around lots of untraceable money you can take with violence leads to exactly what you think
Part of me wants to see what happens when a bunch of Trump megafans take their luxury yachts with the MAGA flags and try to interdict actual cartel operations.
Flagrant violations of international law aside, what a hilarious admission of weakness from a senator who oversees a bloated military better funded than the next three superpowers combined.

This administration is made up of internet influencers and Fox News mainstays who live for the camera, so I guess it’s not surprising they have no idea how to *hide* something from the media.

Bondi and her gang of cover-up thugs are so bad at this.
When you search the lastest Epstein files for Trump, you only get two images, and both are bookshelves with a Trump book on them.
When you search "Clinton" there are 11 pages to scroll through.

This Black Friday more and more people went into debt or relied on Buy-Now-Pay-Later programs to make purchases.
Maybe instead of adding more gold to the White House walls, Donald Trump should work on lowering costs.

The DOJ Just Made It Almost Impossible to Prove Racism Exists
