THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

It's been dry here in my side of Atlanta, so I felt lucky to find this one mushroom, but also liked this tree that for some reason reminds me of the three-headed knight that Sir Robin ran away from.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

Jesus Christ, this. Platner was given the benefit of the doubt despite having a fucking Totenkopf tattoo on his own skin, while many of the same people are demanding El-Sayed answer for any random comment from anyone who supports him.

I grew up next door to George Hamilton IV. The Hamiltons were friends of Dolly's, and always said she was the kindest and smartest person you would ever meet. My daughter and her roommates had a giant What Would Dolly Do? poster in their living room. She was goals in every human way.

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
