🚨Holy crap! Ken Paxton partied on New Year’s Eve 2024 in Dubai with his girlfriend and two U.S. fugitives (Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail) charged in healthcare fraud/embezzlement schemes. Ahmed, a major donor, gave about $190,000 to Paxton’s campaign — including after his indictment.

Oh, you mean do their jobs? Huh. Go figure.

Mike Johnson threatens us with a good time: "If this group took over, they would turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They'd spend every day investigating the president, the first family, the cabinet, donors to the party, leaders of business ... "

Thousands of Cornell students have taken over the main plaza on campus to demand the Cornell 7 be held accountable for their crimes. 21% of undergraduate women are raped or sexual assaulted during their time on campus.

I mean, seems Constitutional to me. Also, apparently the line "blessed are the peacemakers" is less relevant...

ICYMI — Hegseth and Trump are turning the 🇺🇸 military into a Christian army. Seems like this should be a bigger deal 🤷🏼 (As we accuse other countries of being religious fanatics) (H/T @atrupar.com)

I had two very different AI experiences in the past week. The positive one was the Popeye's drive thru. Actually got my order right, even after I started over. Still prefer humans.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

I really hate when I agree with guys like this. He's saying lots of good stuff, but not quite an ally yet. Let's hope he continues being outspoken after he's out of office.

This is what people voted for. Then they complain endlessly . . . and vote for it again. Geez people, look at what is actually happening, not what you're being told, and recalibrate.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.
