Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.
Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet
YES or NO ?

My father always told me:
"If you want to go for a run, go for a run, don't look for company.
Sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, like-minded people will find you themselves."
And only recently have I realised that this principle works everywhere.
anyone else?

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Don't mess with librarians! The staff the Library of Congress refused to let DOJ staffers sent by the new acting librarian Todd Blanche to enter the building! They called the Capital Police and their general counsel. They said they recognize the deputy librarian as being in power until they hear otherwise from Congress! 🔥🔥🔥
We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Be bored more often.
Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.
In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I lost fifty subscribers for saying “f*ck Trump.”
Get out of here with that “let’s go high when they go low” bullsh*t.
F*ck Trump. If you agree, then follow me.

I cannot express how much I admire and respect this man. I supported him for president back in 2019 and will support him for ANY elected office in the future. He’s the real deal 💙💙

I think they're traitors, Thom.
I'm not alone. I've been writing about this all morning. Restating my comment on Joyce Vance's Substack as to whether they will grant Trump limited immunity. Same to Heather Cox Richardson, who quoted Mark Elias. Same on Robert Reich, The Supreme Court's Farce and Ruse, etc.
Limited immunity. I'm not sure whether this was argued at t he DC level so by rights should have been waived. As Robert Hubbell is saying: "The hearing itself was a supreme outrage. While the reactionary majority may not adopt the most extreme version of Trump’s defense, they need not do so to grant Trump a victory. Indeed, they have already granted Trump most of what he asked for: a lengthy delay." Ian Millheiser says Republican justices, engaged in dizzying feats of reverse logic. vox.com/scotus/24140309…
Someone mentioned "scope and course" of employment. IMHO there are probably mixed questions of law and fact. Could be a jury question. This is the kind of stuff that comes up in civil law and workers' comp all the time. "Personal" matters like trying to subvert the will of the people.
Consider the concepts of frolic and detour. Generally, a “detour” constitutes a minor departure from an employee's duties but is still considered acting within the scope of employment, whereas a “frolic” would be a major departure from the scope of employment undertaken for that employee's own benefit. I think Trump blew it by failing to address it at the DC level.
But anything goes at SCOTUS.

All we can do is vote them out. We have the capacity to sweep. Potentially 13 million unregistered people trend heavily Democratic. FT6 uses data mining to identify them. 60% of unregistered voters have never been asked to register and are eager to hear from us. .

I also think the very presence of Clarence Thomas poisoned the entire proceeding.
Attached is the docket.supremecourt.gov/docket…
No Motion to Recuse, Motion to Disqualify Thomas.
Why?
You are right friend Daniel, and that is what scares me. A.ll we can do is vote them out, but even there they have rigged the vote.
There were eight swing states in 2020, three of them, GA, NC, VA are no longer swing states because of election suppression laws enacted by Republican State legislatures and where a Democratic governor, overridden by the legislature.
Then there is DeJoy, tampering with mail in votes, in crucial states, and Republican governors authorizing and soliciting armed poll wa…

Why I Am Optimistic We Will Win This November - From Punchbowl news this morning, By Simon Rosenberg. “ActBlue Donations Surge in Q1”
*News: Democratic donors gave a total of $151 million to House and Senate races through the ActBlue fundraising platform in the first quarter of 2024.
*The ActBlue data reveals an increase from the same point four years ago, indicating growing Democratic grassroots support as the 2024 election season heats up.
*Compared …
And in addition to all that, millions of unregistered women who trend D can be incorporated, in those swing states. Remember counterinsurgency training? I was in a program last night with a media organization that hits 45% of women under age 45. acceleratechange.org
Gen Z trend heavily Democratic also. Channel Taylor Swift. E.G. I've been asking Swifties to add a voterizer link to their comments on her Instagram and X accounts. 287 million on Instagram 97 million on X. Lots of other "influencers" like her.
I get Rosenberg's Hopium letters every day. All we have is hope Daniel
I know the forces arrayed against us, and am dismayed, but that motivates me even further to vote. Unlike you, I live in a Blue State and my Senators and local reps are Democrats. However Susan del Bene who represents a distrct south of me, near Seattle, voted against the Ukraine funding bill. I am barraged every day with fund raising letters, and I reply to them You voted against Ukraine, so no.
I am worried about the Swing S…
Here's a piece from Elie Mystal on the recent SCOTUS ridiculousness. Crazy town.
Love Elie. Thanks for Nation link! (need subscription? hope not) Maybe I'll re-subscribe anyway. I didn't take The Nation for some years because my mail was delivered from a very small-town post office in infamous Shasta County, and I literally didn't want it to get around that I was getting The Nation! Score one tiny point for terrorism!
