Re-reading Lord of the Rings at the moment, and I'd forgotten how relentlessly Gandalf drags Hobbits.

"Of course, The Enemy has overlooked one thing: dipshits such as yourself, Frodo. Buffoons with fat feet and shithole burrows. Yes, perhaps your painful loser energy may surprise Sauron yet!"

Been to three. They have a solemn, sacred feel, but joyful too. Like a christening or wedding.
If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.

Just unspeakable assholery.

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.
Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

But they were, all of them, deceived, for another possibility was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom
Breyer: Are the LAPD and LASO unable or unwilling to help, yes, no, or I don't know. Those are the three possibilities.

DOJ: It's irrelevant.

Tough to say with FBI. Maybe the leaking agents want it known he’s not such a bad guy.
This is the third newsroom (at least) with an FBI leak about the suspect being a Trump supporter. Seems some FBI folks — presumably not the political hires —are very eager to get this out there.
BREAKING on MS NOW:
 
Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

So much of the money that once went to newspapers now gets siphoned away to fund doomed endeavors like this:
".. It looks like an admission of defeat in ..Zuckerberg's bet on virtual worlds. The cost has been $77 billion in operating losses in the Reality Labs division since 2020. Perhaps that's why investors cheered the reported move that Meta's cutting the department's budget .."

The Mar-a-Lago Face deduction
Hawley is pitching his colleagues — and Trump — on a new health care plan that would allow all tax payers to deduct up to $25K/person in medical expenses.

Hawley told us he recently discussed the idea with Trump: “I said...'no taxes on tips, no taxes on health care’, and he goes ‘oh I like that."
