I enjoy dad jokes and puns, fountain pens and good stationary, coffee, and the Oxford comma.
I tested this and got inconsistent results. It seems to flip back and forth in the the answers it gave (actual answer vs generic information) about various US presidential elections.
A federal judge found that an immigration court bond hearing was so egregiously stacked against an ICE detainee that he may simply order the release of ICE detainees, rather than bond hearings, from now on.

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

I hate that for all of his delusional, criminal, vindictive, racist, treasonous, lawless, and lying behavior, THIS is the message that MIGHT get through to some.
Don't perjure yourself. You're under oath. Isn't it true that you are a fast food restaurant chain founded in San Diego in the 1950s, that features chicken tenders, and tacos.
"Senator, I think you have mistaken me for Jack in the Box.'
Senator Schmitt: We have proof! In fact aren't you a former French naval officer and internationally known oceanographer?
Jack Smith: First of all it's Jack, not Jacques. I am not Jacques Cousteau.
Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.

He is not wrong.

He's saying renovations are needed because the facility is unsafe. But the money for renovations isn't available unless his name goes on the building. Ergo, if his name doesn't go on the building and, as a result, it's not renovated, then it must be demolished for public-safety reasons.
Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
I just endured a coworker spread negative falsehoods about Mamdani and positive falsehoods about Trump while complaining how frustrating it is that people can't see the truth and recognize facts.
Falsehoods about Mamdani included that he's an extremist Muslim who regularly attends an extremist mosque.
Falsehoods about Trump include his GREAT changes in the US military (and basically made it great again!).
The crazy thing is that this individual doesn't like Trump himself and probably would be anti-Trump if she actually knew the facts.
And to top it off, she says that she intentionally avoids the news because so much of it is negative.
SMH.
19th Century Detective: Do you have an alibi for the day of the murder?

"Wake Up Little Susie" was playing on the store radio just now, a little before 9 AM.
If it plays again in a couple hours, I'm going to assume Susie is a teenager!
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
As a life-long political conservative (and therefore an original #NeverTrump guy!), I'm finally ready to support packing SCOTUS. Between presidential immunity, gutting the VRA, 3 voting against birthright citizenship, etc., the time has come.
The US needs a complete overhaul.
This is such a disturbing flex. He’s basically acknowledging that he and Trump have raised the bar on what scandals presidents can get away with so much that Watergate was nothing compared to them today. True. But yikes.
I finish my talk on the pompatus of love. 'Bravo, Space Cowboy' shouts one member of the audience. 'Simply superb, Gangster Of Love' shouts another. 'Well done, Maurice' shouts my Mom from the back row even though I told her not to come and now my street cred IS RUINED.
This ad caught my attention but not in a good way.

How tragically representative of contemporary culture is this?!
The issue is NOT that Trump has impaired our standing in the world.
The issues are the devastating harm Trump has wrought on the world and that we as a nation deserve to have our standing severely damaged simply for having reelected the degenerate.
MILLER: “I’m struck by how humiliating this all is for Trump, and how weak he looks.”
OSSOFF: “I deeply regret the immense damage this incompetent president has done to our standing in the world.”

If this is true, and given his abuse of the military re: Iran, Venezuela, and murdering people in boats, he could easily engage in massive conquest efforts!
Trump has, in private conversations, begun thinking about himself less as a peer of Washington and Lincoln, and more as an addition to Hegel’s immortal trifecta: Alexander the Great, Caesar, and Napoleon.
There is a very easy solution: don't do this dinner anymore. If they do it anyway, do not attend.
Do your job as the press by communicating the truth and by holding power to account.
Iran is the "surprise leader" in a game of chicken with the US?
In what world is Iran the surprise leader?! We have a moron sitting behind the Resolute Desk and a TV personality running the Department of Defense. #TACO
