You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

Overnight, Ukraine’s drone boys turned Russia’s Taganrog airfield into a junkyard sale: two Tu-142 Bear-F strategic bombers and an Iskander missile launcher all went BOOM. Turns out billion-dollar Russian hardware burns just fine when Ukraine brings the fireworks. Sleep tight, Ivan. 🇺🇦

As though you can make a conflict of interests go away by just saying it's not there.

Blanche: I am the Acting Attorney General! The fact that I used to be President Trump’s lawyer is just a fact. DON’T SAY THE PRESIDENT’S FORMER LAWYER WILL DO SOMETHING—SAY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL DO SOMETHING!

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

democracydocket.comSCOTUS used faulty racial voter turnout data to shred Voting Rights Act in recent rulingThe ruling that upended the Voting Rights Act was based in part on a false data analysis about Black and white voter turnout.

And yet whites are 58% of the population, and blacks 12%.

What do you expect from a group who gave billionaires a tax break and elected a man for president who has had more than 1 bankruptcy and who has had to close down his “college” due to fraud? I blame all you damn stupid right wing voters AND the absolutely corrupt Republican Congress.

I started watching "Gilmore Girsl" last year - I'd steered away from it when it came out because too many people liked it - and for some reason I thought it was aboout a firls school or sorority. The first couple of time I heard them them I thought it said "get our ass on the road." That's not it.

This was so good. He ridiculed tRump to his face several times and tRump didn't understand.

When a King and direct descendent of King George III has to remind the American government about the utmost importance of checks and balances, you know we're in deep trouble.
