If Democrats win, johnson will not be speaker at the point where they are swearing in the new Congress. They are sworn in by the speaker elect, who is chosen by the member elects

Shot, shot, chaser

Too many Willem dafoes in the world. Where can I find me a willem dafriend 😞

After the tarp went up to try and stop the “Berlin Wall” moment, Cliff Owen of the AP got the iconic 📸 shot. 🇺🇸

Touch screens have no place on a car interior. I want car controls that look like I have an R2 unit in the trunk. I want to hear an audible click when I turn on the AC. I need to flip at least three toggle switches to feel like I'm done a good job driving.

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

Sabastian Sawe of Kenya has become the first person to run a marathon in under 2 hours.

HILL: Trump would like relationship with Putin. That's exactly why he doesn't criticize him. It's a kind of unrequited love. Everyone keeps talking about it as a bromance, but Trump hasn't even got there. And it drives Trump mad because he never gets what he wants from Putin.

IYKYK

Getting dizzy listening to these yahoos complain that Iran is a hotbed of religious fanaticism and then turning right around and acting like religious fanatics themselves.

>then we won

I’m as old as the rocks in the river but I can tell you from my college experience that you can combine fanfic and beer pong with red meat and supplements, no problem at all—though of course it’s not recommended by me.

the opposition party had more to say about Robert Mueller than the Iran War this weekend

The trajectory of tech YouTubers has been wild lately. Used to be they'd work with the companies and get regular product samples and release reviews, but now RAM is unobtanium and there won't be any new GPUs for over a year so they're all pivoting to "fuck these companies and fuck AI."

Have the “I did that” stickers for the gas pumps with Trump’s face on them been printed already, or does it take a few more days?

In the eight years I've been running this account, I've constantly heard people say, “I'm sick of spin-offs, reboots, remakes, and sequels—I want original, good sci-fi.” Well, here it is: Project Hail Mary. If this movie isn't a hit, I'm going to sulk. ☝️

“i knew the bees would swarm me. i predicted it a long time ago”

We need to end prediction markets for government action. NOW. This bone chilling story about a reporter’s life threatened bc he simply reported on Iran missile strikes: “After you make us lose $900,000 we will invest no less than that to finish you.”

europeans when asked to help unblock the strait of hormuz

America is a great place to visit and most Americans are very nice, outgoing people. However, if you are considering visiting the US from a foreign country right now, you have rocks in your head.

Dude. We lost a federal job. So I am building a small firm and 1/3 of my work is going to be making abusive HOA Boards miserable. Finding your local, little Trump is definitely a lane.

Why the Hormuz Strait is affecting gas prices

Instead of going to war with Iran, we could cover health care for millions of Americans. And still have $20 billion left over.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Counterpoint: Limiting how US troops can be used illegally in unconstitutional wars of the president’s own choosing *IS* supporting “the troops.”

"surely the third democratic presidency to come to power after a norm-breaking and warcrime-cheering Republican administration will pursue justice against their predecessors," I repeat like a mantra til I collapse

the reverse version of those “evolution of man” drawings

Mass Effect 3 was released 14 years ago today. What I remember most is an intense, desperate war for the survival of the galaxy. With my first baby son in my arms 😅

Does the commandant of the coast guard get his house back now? And who pays for the deep cleaning?

Stories about the illegality of the Iran War under both international law and the US Constitution and War Powers Act have featured on the front pages of Süddeutsche Zeitung, El País, Le Monde and papers all around the world. Not, however, in major US papers. Something is seriously wrong.

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

Worth noting that Japan using peace talks with Washington as cover for their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor is one of the reasons we were so fucking furious at them on December 8, 1941. It's WHY FDR called it a Day of Infamy

The motions are “unopposed” because Trump now sits on both sides of the case—as the defendant and as the glowering visage who looks out from tall banners on the walls of a subjugated DOJ—and Judge Cannon did not allow any of the third parties who sought to intervene to argue for disclosure.

Congresswoman @ramirez.house.gov: " Congress designed DHS [Department of Homeland Security] to violate our rights under the pretense of securing our safety." " DHS cannot be reformed. It must be dismantled, and something new must take its place"

My brother in Christ, I know you know what the thinking is.

In the infantry, we didn’t back down from a fight. In a democracy, you get to decide who’s gonna fight for you - the patriot, or the politician. Join me in this fight.
