Bovino's performative toss of harmless green gas, while a civilian gets beaten right behind him.

Ug.

Yeah, I think it's real, and completely predictable. The tiny conspiracy part of my brain thinks it could be a 'buy the dip' move too.

I am not yet satisfied. The man-baby slapfight must escalate! Although, there is a small chance that it's staged.

I like black snakes, and the woods around DC.

Is this a hint of life on another world, or just a lot of hot air? The James Webb Space Telescope may have detected life-associated gas in the atmosphere of a far-off planet. The news is being greeted with both enthusiasm and skepticism.

Pretty cool...

Vance isn't stupid, and he measures his words. When Vance lies, it's a calculated decision.

A dark night sky is shown with clouds on the left. Just above center in blue is the Pleiades star cluster. Just below the Pleiades is a crescent moon, but bright enough so that you can see not only the brightly lit crescent but, more faintly, the rest of the Moon. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

Yeah, until they manage to privatize Social Security just before the mid terms. I feel exactly the way you do, but I'm not sure gloating over everyone loosing money is the way to go right now.

NGL, I love this. But, then again, my commencement speaker at UMD in 1992 was Bill Cosby, and I was really psyched about that. I hope Kermit has a place in fighting for education.

I need spell check innovation

Autocratic inovation

I agree that civil disobedience is needed at this point. Is it reasonable to expect congressional leaders to take the lead on it? Maybe. Media campaign, yes. Dems need to get their messaging in sync. Rubio, meh, inside baseball.

What can they do?

Please tell me why any Dems attended that speech?

A huge musical mind here in DC.

Meta ends fact checks, will adopt X-style ‘community notes’ in Trump era Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg ends fact-checking on Facebook and Instagram in favor of community notes, calling the recent election “a cultural tipping point.”

Meta plans to get rid of its fact-checking program and replace it with a system similar to X’s “community notes,” chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said Tuesday.
