Since the President is renaming things, can he please fulfill his campaign promise to stop the twice-yearly time change? But settle us back in Standard Time, the solar time we humans have lived under for 300,000 years.

On the other hand, Catholics account for 28% of the voting members in Congress, whereas they make up roughly 20% of the overall adult population in the United States. Statistics are helpful.

Blanche just signed the agreement to cancel the slush fund. Committee vote on AG now tomorrow. Blanche ignored Congress' law to release Epstein files; why would he be restrained by a signed agreement?

If Caroline Kennedy couldn't talk Congress out of RFKJr, and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford couldn't convince them about Kavanaugh, and Anita Hill didn't stop Clarence Thomas, I doubt this former DOJ Pardon Attorney can talk them out of Todd Blanche.

@espn.com Please quiet your commentators. Too much yakking. And no talking from moment server steps to the line for first serve until the point is concluded. Tennis etiquette, please. I want to watch, not listen.

Just so I understand correctly, leaders of countries can now go to OTHER COUNTRIES & actually arrest the elected leaders of those countries if they feel the leader is guilty of crimes? Hello, Canada? DID YOU HEAR THIS?🤔

Now I understand why Trump wants to destroy Iran and its civilization: Iran, historically known as Persia, is home to one of the world's oldest continuous civilizations, with settlements dating back to 4000 BC.

We are going to the Moon in a few days, Carl. The world is, sadly, still more or less the same, with all our follies and conceits, but we are trying our best. And we miss you.

I just saw Speaker Mike complaining today about "mass mailings" referring to mail-in ballots. In Michigan I'm registered and receive a letter each election that I must respond to in order to get my mail ballot. Works great!Ballots are not a mass mailing to everyone in a county or precinct. Sheesh.

Feb. 4, 2025, ten months ago, shortly after Trump's Inauguration and J6 pardons: House and Senate Democrats were blocked by DHS security from entering the Treasury Building to conduct oversight on the Trump administration's actions, particularly Elon Musk's involvement with federal payment systems.

GOP guy today on Katy Tur was hammering Obama care for, in 2010, supporting private insurance companies! Would he have preferred medicare accessibility for all? As Katy said, c'mon, that was fifteen years ago.

Are the two survivors killed by the second strike actually the two survivors who we were told were "released to Venezuela"? It seemed odd that they hadn't been brought back for interrogation, but if they're really dead, that would explain it.

The phrase "society gets the criminals it deserves" is often attributed to Robert F. Kennedy [senior] and suggests that the types of crime and criminals a society experiences are a direct result of its own social, economic, and political conditions.

Is it possible that Trump and Musk are unaware that American workers' paychecks have been garnished all their working lives to fund their eventual Social Security and Medicare benefits?

If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to see what is wrong with it. When humans exhibit this same behavior, we put them on the cover of Forbes magazine.
