The devil went down to Georgia, looking for an election steal . . .

Q: The president is coming back to Georgia on Saturday-- OSSOFF: Good. It will remind Georgians of the president's failure

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

For instance, 'Bob' has a very productive apple tree. He could sell the apples for a lot of income. Instead he wastes them all by throwing them at his neighbours.

The wondrously talented DANNY KAYE conducting the audience at the London Palladium in 1948. He could fly any civilian plane on the planet, became the world's most revered non-Asian Chinese Chef & had no formal singing or dance training. A pretty extraordinary human being.

There's a new wave of Democratic ads across the country that are somehow brutally partisan and incredibly effective and it's going to take some time for me to get used to this?

“'We take sexual violence extremely seriously,' said vice president for university relations Kyle Kimball . . .” The fuck you do.

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

Democrats, you are on notice. Dem voters want accountability for this type of cruel BS. Take the word bipartisan out of your vocabulary. If you aren't ready to fight Republicans then get out of the way. You should be ashamed to have less courage than these children.

Charles Keener@charleskeener.bsky.social

Exactly. SCOTUS reform is not optional. No more letting corrupt politicians go free in the name of "looking forward." Dem voters want action and accountability. The person who wants to make that happen will get my vote.

Why has the GOP been so procedurally extreme for so long? Because Republicans radicalized themselves against the government they were working within. There was a real logic to it, quite apart from the awful substantive vision. Now, Dems are working in a government fully corrupted by Donald Trump...

Susan Collins is always horrified by the predictable results of her own vote, which means Mainers who genuinely care about Susan Collins should elect Troy Jackson as he won’t vote for things that wind up upsetting Susan Collins, unlike Susan Collins

Bobby Kogan@bbkogan.bsky.social

I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

Well the lamb roast turned out to be a pork roast - but how’s that crackling? Served with an Apple Cider, Mustard & Tarragon sauce. #food #foodporn

Wow. That's like Al Capone complaining about violent mob bosses and dirty bootleggers.

Genuinely baffling to me what people who know what they’re getting into tell themselves about why the obvious thing won’t happen to them…
