I know it’s crazy, but as an alternative, White House staffers could simply choose not to commit any crimes.
I didn't know that I needed a spinach dip quesadilla with grilled onions and mushrooms in my life until Funky Forte let me know it exists 🤤

Where is that happening? That sounds awesome!
Interesting and informative history lesson here. youtu.be/nSBbX5gn1Lg
Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽♂️
Understandable
I'm a little over 3 years into my diet change. It can be difficult at some restaurants for sure, but most places have options (luckily.)
It’s an Alabama spring, which means it’s also an Alabama summer and an Alabama winter.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all
"There is an America that is more free — where there's more equality, where there is more justice, where there is less bigotry — and I think it's waiting for us," says lawyer Bryan Stevenson. n.pr/4rZEKKT
7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive.

"...outlandish moments from the courtroom... one of the deputies crying repeatedly as a video insulting her played for more than 10 minutes; and a testy exchange in which Afroman’s lawyer asked another deputy if his wife was cheating on him." 😂 www.billboard.com/pro/afroman-...
"We will let your citizens die horribly if you don't give us your natural resources" is some real supervillain shit.
Herb ricotta ravioli from Perennial 🤤. Highly recommended! #montgomery #alabama

Here’s last night’s story about Twitter, how it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, and the real reason why John won’t be tweeting in the future. Hint: it has something to do with his amazing feet. youtu.be/p7ZG_xWYLzI
Thanks to Rebecca here for mentioning the documentary and J.C. Hallman's excellent book. As she said, the documentary is streaming on many platforms, and it's currently free on Tubi: tubitv.com/movies/61381...
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed the show! Thanks for making a couple of stops in Alabama!
Ah... wouldn't surprise me. @somemorenews.bsky.social recently mentioned a DW thing that looks like a terrible Game of Thrones ripoff or something.
