Depends. Is the doc just "accused" or indicted? Because "accused" means nothing legally.

Ok. So, are you all going to keep writing for Disney?
She's right. She just might be wrong about the cause
Mine didn't. I would leave if they did
So, Governor Cox said we should time down the rhetoric and not take our cues from politicians. He says we need to stop being divisive, essentially. While, at the same time, saying that the assassin did this because of leftist ideology. I'm missing something. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
If only it were that easy...
I hate that. It's gotten me too
Besides which, why would we want "anti-" fascists? He's clearly saying that as a bad thing.
This explains it better than I can
House Speaker Mike Johnson said "political violence had become all too common". You don't think he meant to say, "gun violence" do you? Because that's what a little of us have been saying for awhile.
I have Amex Platinum and gold though I only pay the fee for one. Benefits pay for the annual fee. Just traded my points for about $2400 in flights. And I use lounges every time I travel. I get $25 a month in Uber credits. Just depends on whether you use the rewards and what your spending levels are.

Tariffs are the true trickle down economics. Businesses pay the tariffs to import their goods and they charge the customer more and, at the same time, raise prices to make more profit. What trickles down is cost. Not gain. Republicans are finally seeing their trickle down economy come true.
I think you're close. It will more likely be: "We used to be so great that Xi sent his own daughter here and now they won't because of Biden's policies. Trump is making our universities great again so that China will send them here again."
In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action. Powerfull content
So, personally, my family and I stop at Cracker Barrel whenever we travel. But the last few years, I've noticed a steep decline in the number of people that have been in the restaurant. I think the fact is that it feels like a grandma/grandpa restaurant and they felt they needed to change.
I live in the Baltimore area. 1) I didn't know he loved Jesus. 2) I didn't know Dems hated Lamar 3) I am not a Ravens fan so I don't particularly like Lamar- nothing to do with politics. It's everything to do with football. 4) If I knew he loved Jesus, my view of his playoff record wouldn't change.

Mahomes' record against the Colts in the regular season is 0-2 and overall he's 1-2... just saying...
And why don't they ever talk about the positive benefits of polio? Seriously! Or, while we're at it, cancer? Both are great at reducing the number of people on Medicaid and Medicare. Amirite?
I believe that would make the US a "banana Republic" that uses "kangaroo courts". But I'm no expert... thehill.com/homenews/sta...
It would be really nice if the IRS could update their withholding estimator based on the Massive Ugly Bill changes so I could update my withholdings. But, without a commissioner that's going to be even harder I suppose...
The style of boot that I wear with my ODUs are from Bates, the normal supplier of boots, but they're made in China. So, if this passes, I would have to find a different style of boot than I've worn for 20 years. thehill.com/opinion/nati...
What's still crazy is that 40% of Americans say, "Yeah, I think this is still going well" 40%! thehill.com/homenews/adm...
Will they even see you? We can't do my son's appointments unless we're in the same state or they're licensed in the state we're currently in.
This is hilarious to me...Sen. Hawley wants to give a tax rebate because he says people had to pay too much under Biden. But he's using tariff revenue to pay for it. The taxes that Americans are paying as tariffs are going to go back to the people as a payment. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Counterpoint: he doesn't FULLY support him. One or the other. If you want to FULLY support him, then you gotta do the cult follower thing and drink the kool-aid and die with your red hat on. Or admit that you're "fully supporting" a convicted felon and judicially determined rapist.
I fear that people like Miller need to be careful. My fear is that this country is on the verge of people, like her, who know the truth, falling out of hotel windows, like they do in Russia. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Sorry but that all looked staged for views
Surprise, surprise...a "bigly" investment announced by Trump isn't a big as he made it out to be. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/soft...
Another aspect of this story: CIA chief John Ratcliffe said the Obama administration "rushed" their review (ostensibly because they had to finish before Trump came to power). How quickly did Ratcliffe's review of the review go? Seems pretty quick to me. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
This is what happens when you put someone who, at minimum, is a Russian sympathizer and, at worst, a Russian asset, as the Director of National Intelligence. Sens. Collins, Murkowski, and Tillis voted yea on her nomination. They are MAGA. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
Taco Bell is taking drive thru orders via AI now. How annoying.
This is honestly crazy. I've already shared one video, but this specific segment is extremely revealing about their anti-constitutionalist views... youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...
I would agree with President Trump. This has been the most consequential 6 months of any presidency. It's yet to see if the people will allow it to continue down this path of consequence...
The City of New York has this wonderful real estate opportunity that I think you may be interested in. It's waterfront property connected to two separate islands with easy access to both Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Maybe this isn't representative, but I think it's actually what a lot of the right actually believes and is pretty representative youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...
Sens. Kennedy and Collins are saying two different things. Kennedy is saying it's going to be CRs and rescissions from here on out. Frankly, why would we doubt that? But, also, why would any Dem senator vote for that? (Except @schumer.senate.gov) www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
So...no... Because those hobbies would also require thousands of dollars and the ability to take time which means you have a really good job too. AND THEY'RE POSTING THEM ON THE INTERNET
If Dems trust their GOP "colleagues" they will only lose more job approval. And then, shortly after, they'll find out that that trust was badly misplaced when OMB sends massive rescissions packages that get passed. thehill.com/homenews/sen...
Nothing like the government telling business what they can and cannot do. That's capitalism, right? That doesn't sound like socialism, right? Government suppressing a business' free speech isn't bordering on communism, right? Nah... That all sounds like pure market capitalism, I'm sure.
Pretty good financial analysis (with what's available) of Paramount's decision to cancel Colbert. For all the talk of the right against cancel culture, they sure do love it when a comedian who's against them gets cancelled. youtube.com/watch?v=aK5k...

He knows the transcripts are only about what Epstein did and there's nothing about Trump in them.
I still think it's hilarious that the X in Gen X was meant to represent an unknown and now it's just a letter to count from.
Man...Dem podcasters are really grabbing on to the whole health thing now with Trump. The ruse worked and they're biting at it like fish in a pond at bread. Nothing is going to happen with the health issues. The right doesn't care AT ALL. It was a smokescreen with Biden. Don't get distracted.
That's what I was thinking!
Sounds right. That's the kind of $h1t authoritarians do. And the kinds of things people cozying up to them key them do.
Exactly! Now do something about it. The GOP always plays hard ball. Get that bat back out and play some hard ball.
Someone should tell Loomer that maybe they do care about the midterms and what's in the files is actually worse for the GOP than not releasing them...
Vought said he's looking at other areas for rescissions. It takes 60 Senators to pass a budget each year- even a CR. It only takes 50 to pass rescissions. So why would any Dem Senator vote for a budget if the GOP is going to just immediately vote to trash that same budget? This is a big deal.
Ha! Boebert floated Gaetz to be special counsel to investigate someone for the same crimes he was accused of. That's of course what they'll do then and he'll find nothing except maybe some ideas. thehill.com/homenews/hou...
Karen Camry owner: *checks price of an SUV for comparison* "Yep, that's comparable"
What's crazy is that Collins and Murkowski are ok with $9B in cuts. I mean, really, in not surprised. But these are crazy. Now we get to see if Senate Dems follow through and shut it down because the GOP has shown that any bipartisan budget bill means nothing. thehill.com/homenews/sen...
It's easy enough for them to demonstrate this: allow Congressional representatives immediate access to all detention facilities as mandated by the law. thehill.com/homenews/adm...
This is the truly crazy part...and shows the hypocrisy... Many of the immigrants in detention had jobs and were working. They were NOT a drain on the system. The Massive, Ugly Bill set aside $45B to house them in detention. That money could have gone to helping the homeless.
They're so Ross and Rachel...
It's got to be extra big to hide all the medical equipment under it so that makes it wrinkle more easily.
The post wasn't about congratulating her for her rebounds. It was about something more. I don't know what more but that's why. If it was just: "Angel Reese is the greatest rebounder in the WNBA and is so far above her defensive rebounds are more than anyone else combined!" Then no drama.
Not sure what lie you're referencing because I'm not really up on WNBA chatter... She's got a lot of rebounds. Dennis Rodman led the NBA in rebounds per game for 7 straight seasons. She is also second most in personal fouls. And, she's leading in turnovers.
No cameras were allowed inside. So, forgive me for then assuming the worst. If you're want us to trust you, then you need to show us the conditions and allow pictures to be taken inside. Otherwise, it sounds like they're detaining Americans in squalor. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...
"He gave up everything". Please, tell me one thing he gave up. One thing.
That's why all the GOP voted for it, right? Surely if it was SO good and some Dems wanted to vote for it, all of the GOP voted for it, right? Right?? Or...Hear me out...This man is a pathological liar? And it is so bad it didn't get all of the GOP in either body? thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Oh yeah... She's not going anywhere. Especially now. She's buried the files that incriminate him *allegedly*. So why would he get rid of her? As long as she's still loyal, she'll stay right there. If she ever says, "Well, there's a list, but it's not clients from his sex trade."...say goodbye!
The Dow is up $345 since Jan 21. Biden averaged a $1600 increase every 6 months in the Dow. But, yeah, we're cooking now...
Guess what... He's MAGA... He couldn't vote but he would have voted for Trump. Now he's finding out I guess and the sad part is he has a family that are also finding out and should have their dad with them. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
I bet she still votes for him...
Oh... Come on Dan... You know he will... The GOP have made their voters into the literal "This is fine" meme
Are people still acting like Lee picked the correct side?
Remember... He's using national emergency declarations to have these tariffs. And now he's setting them and saying, on paper, that they're based on personal grievances. I doubt that will do anything to change SCOTUS' minds though... www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...
Sure sounded to me like a lot of Texans were losing then... Guess he's calling them out?
These stories in The Hill are pretty humourous to me. They've had a couple about how "disappointed" GOP Senators are with the administration right now. Really? Then exercise some of your constitutional authority instead of standing their subserviently approving it all. thehill.com/homenews/sen...
When Trump took over on Jan 20, the Dow was at $43,487.83. As of right now, the Dow is at $44,254.96. In a little over 6 months, he's managed to get the Dow to climb $767.13! Biden averaged $1,537 in growth every 6 months (actually double what Trump has done). So, yeah...tired of all the winning?
This is a well researched and well written story about the warnings and response. thehill.com/policy/equil...

Why is he capitalizing "trade". It's like he doesn't know what to emphasize ever.
Nah... They won't be Cybertrucks anymore. They're all mad at Elon now. They'll go back to Ford or Chevy diesels and it'll be whichever is most proud to be ICE's vehicle of voice (and they'll be proud of it and will make ads about it). But not Teslas anymore...
Yeah... Look, I get the thought but are you going to boycott all banks that work with the sellers? Or the companies that sell the shirts or other blanks? Boycott the vendors for sure. But you're going to hurt other good vendors.
Gotta get the Trump branded canoes ready to sell first
Praise the people that should be praised and blame those that should be blamed. Sure, warn that NWS staffing is dangerously low if it is. And if low staffing made coordination more challenging, then check l call that out. But be damn sure you know that to be the case. Don't blame the messenger.
Stop accepting the premise that NWS failed. The only thing you will do is get the forecasters that are left to quit. Who wants to work when you have to be perfect or you're blamed for killing people when it's not your fault? Praise them for their forecasts. Change the dialogue. 9/
Blame the GOP for denying climate change. Blame the GOP for convincing people not to take Wx warnings seriously. Blame the GOP for convincing people to not trust the gov't. But stop accepting the premise. We've been saying Wx will get more severe. Flooding has been more severe lately. 8/
Now, Bluesky... Stop allowing them to shift the blame to NWS and NOAA. From all accounts, they did their job. Wx prediction isn't an exact science. People were mad when Katrina shifted. People thought Sandy was more severe than predicted. That's what happens. They aren't 💯. It's a prediction. 7/
Flash flood warnings mean the flooding will happen near instantaneously. Not over a day. Minutes to hours. It will happen fast and unexpectedly. Think tornado watch means a tornado could form. Flash flood watch means a flash flood could form. But with a flood, you can't hide in your house. 6/
Second, you need to understand what you're hearing/reading. Flash flood warnings don't need it to be raining where you are. If you're in a flood zone, get out. Check the FEMA flood maps to find out or, be safe and get to high ground. Don't play around. If you're near a river, assume. 5/
I have no evidence of that here. What I know was that products went out and EAS was activated. But I also feel like people don't understand nor take flash flood warnings seriously. First, you have to know you can receive them: get a radio that can receive NOAA Wx Radio. 4/
The coverage: NWS is not to blame. In this, I agree with the WH. From what I can see, they put out warnings and advisories. They put out forecasts. Is NWS short-staffed? Of course. OPM just put something out praising the 23k jobs they've cut. Maybe of those were senior, experienced people. 3/
I'm not a meteorologist, but as a Deck Officer, I've looked at a lot of weather maps and data. And I was a manager when the administration came to power. I see a number of problems with the response and coverage and from a general understanding of weather products and readiness. 2/
