11th, basically San Francisco and adjacent islands.

Declare Staten Island a no-fly zone to protect the residents from DNC aggression.

78% to 22%. Ouch.

He really should be removed from the Speakership for dereliction of duty, but to do so would require the House to actually meet for business.

Unfortunately, most voters say the same thing about their senators & representatives, which is why turnover in Congress is so low.

One of the double speaks an authoritarian spokesperson has to perform is the opposition is both strong and weak at the same time. Strong, so they can be blamed for anything that goes wrong, and to stoke fears in the faithful, and weak because no one is allowed to be stronger than the authority.

They can try to filibuster in the Senate, but that requires them to go on record.

She is one of the three Republicans who have signed the discharge petition to force a vote on bill to release the Epstein files. (Bobert is another one, go figure.)

There are times where the enemy of my enemy is just our mutual enemy.

History lesson for anyone who needs it, including occupants of the White House: The Department of Defense was created in 1947 by merging the Department of War, the Department of the Navy, and the recently formed Department of the Air Force. Prior to the merger, the War Department managed only the Army. The name Department of Defense was political: it didn’t reuse any of the names of the former departments, so it couldn’t be seen as one absorbing the others, i.e. the Army absorbing the Navy and the Air Force they had just spun off from the Army Air Corps.

We need to codify the rules into actual laws & constitutional amendments before we go blind from eye-for-an-eye politics.

If we got through WWII, with troops scattered around the world, without canceling elections or even disenfranchising the soldiers fighting overseas, he has no excuse. (How did a solider in France, a sailor in the Philippine Sea, or a marine on Leyte Island vote? Mail-in ballots.)

OK, but elections are run by states, not the federal government, and the GOP has worked to defang the FEC, so I don’t know how he actually plans to make this happen.

Donald kept talking, so Vlad told him to catch a bubble.

What’s the point in negotiating a budget if they’ll renege on any concessions they give you with a rescission bill like they did with the public broadcasting money?

I really don’t like the direction this is going; two wrongs don’t make a right. No matter which way things turn out now it’s going to make anti-gerrymandering laws more difficult in the future, either because everyone’s doing it or the GOP has gerrymandered any opposition out of existence.

Time to fire some more statisticians.

Ben & Jerry’s, the brand, is owned by multinational conglomerate Unilever. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield sold it in 2000. Ben remained active on the board after the sale, and both are known to take political positions that Unilever management would prefer they not.

The license plate on that car seems on-brand for Bond.

Beyoncé and Oprah own media production companies. These companies were hired to help produce and stream media events. If it’s a problem for the campaign to hire companies that are headed by people who have favor the candidate, then, oh boy, does The Trump Organization have a lot of ‘splaining to do.
