Hello all, and wishing you safe travels this holiday. We’ve just taken a road trip and came up with a game. Using something you see as inspiration come up with three band names. Our top three: 1. Raccoon Safari 2. Casa de Los Chivos 3. Truck Stop Romeos What are your #roadtripgames?

When People magazine reminds you that child sex abuse is not new for senior Republican officials and CBS focuses on his banking charges, you really get the Bari Weiss effect at CBS. Edward R. Murrow is spinning in his grave.

When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible. When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit. When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power. When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.

BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico: “I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.  That’s why I'm supporting you.”

Abraham Lincoln understood, perhaps better than anyone, how personal liberty and self-reliance are at the heart of the American experience. But he also knew there are certain things we can only do together. Read more in my essay for @inpursuitusa.bsky.social:

Q: New government data shows Americans are now saving a smaller share of their incomes. Are you seeing signs that households are dipping in to pay for higher costs of gas and groceries? BESSENT: That's a doomer view. People might have more confidence. (Consumer sentiment is at an all time low... )

Congress now has access to unredacted versions of the approx 3M Epstein files that the DOJ has released. Trump is at the heart of the crimes.

So to recap: •Trump illegally bombed Iran. •Iran thus closed the Straight of Hormuz, spiking oil prices. •Trump is now lifting sanctions on Iranian oil, funding the regime he's bombing, & Straight of Hormuz remains closed. Masterful gambit by the author of the Art of the Deal. Are we great yet?
