They’ve been TRYING to do show trials the whole time. Comey, fuckin sandwich guy, they just can’t get them to actually stick.*

*(At the federal level, the Texas case is a miscarriage of justice)

Mike Waltz*, aka the same dipshit that added a reporter to a Signal chat about bombing Iran (the first time)

Some More News did a whole episode about how he’s always been like this

Tell me you never have been to CT without telling me you’ve never been to CT, especially outside of Fairfield county.

Mass, NH, CT, Maine, and Vermont (at #1) make up literally half of the top ten. New England is a quality of life powerhouse. I think it’s hilarious that RI didn’t make the list, since everyone forgets about them anyway. I can’t find the full list (only top and bottom 10, so I wonder if they got #11 or 12 and got bumped just off the top 10.

Welcome to CT! It’s nice here.

They can oust the speaker with a very small number of defections that would achieve a majority. There’s no motivation for the minority factions within the majority to do so though - the only chance they have of passing their hardline agenda is by refusing to give the majority the ability to do anything. This isn’t a problem if you have a much larger majority but they’re barely holding onto the title right now.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Oh also, fuck you.

A Song of ICE and Fascists

Can’t wait to see Mamdani get pissed about how far the run back to Ornstein and Smough is

This is more than the average fossil car owner pays in gas taxes

I try to drive my ICE car less these days since we have a short-range EV I can use for local runs, but when I was having to fill up my car about once a week, I’d be filling up about 10 gallons, and in CT the gas tax is 25¢/gallon, which works out to exactly $130 annually. Unfortunately that’s state tax and not the federal 18.4¢/gallon, which works out to just under $100 annually.

He originally said it would cost $200M. The cost has already doubled once…

Holy shit my rep Larson actually actively doing something (that yes, will go nowhere, but there should be like 200 impeachment submissions by now for all the things he’s done that are actually impeachable, not to mention the stuff that’s just abhorrent)

They’re Republicans in denial

…civil rights attorney John Burris, of Oakland, California, and other lawyers laid out how they’re paving the way for potential class-action lawsuits over alleged excessive force used against protesters and monitors.

Class action against the feds regarding the entire Operation Metro Surge, of which Pretti’s murder was a part.

Cuck Chuck is just right there… or Cuck Schumer…

Geez you can’t jump scare me like that

I’ve never been able to find a good answer to that question. I know there some differences in what exactly gets included (see the deuterocanonical books/apocrypha), so I don’t think that it’s ever been accepted, but I can’t give a real source there.

Pope Leo uses the King James Version

Uh…no he doesn’t. I know the point the that Johnson doesn’t care about the Bible, only blowing Trump, but Catholics have a list of approved translations (linking here to the US Council of Catholic Bishops because Leo was a member before becoming Pope), and KJV isn’t on it. King James VI & I is the one who commissioned it, and was notably not Catholic. KJV is like…the English Protestant translation…
