Had a good run as a reporter for Lebanon (PA) Daily News until a hedge fund killed it; now sub-teacher at a votech; Philly sports (Arsenal, tennis, cycling too), music (jam bands), pets & politics as mood strikes.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

Don’t ever forget (especially next November) the GOP blocked a vote on the Epstein Discharge Petition for 50 days and eventually only 4 Republicans signed it.

I can’t erase the vision of MTG berating @davidhogg.bsky.social on that DC sidewalk.
Today, at the Epstein survivor presser, she said she was on the ground floor of MAGA.
She’s still there. She just doesn’t like the guy who came down the elevator anymore. She showed us who she is.

I want to hear MTG’s opinion of JD Vance. Because I can see the Theil government want to put her on a Vance-Greene ticket.
If she believes, correctly, that Vance is as corrupt as Trump, then I might believe her change of heart.
She just said “don’t trust words, trust action.”

Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.
