If they say something blatantly false, I correct whatever it is, but only with certain clients. Some of them will ask me why something is happening, and I explain it to them. I had to watch the sad tank parade on the jerk’s birthday with an 81 year old man.

BRASS TAX: The injunction is narrow. * Trump doesn't have to withdraw the 300 National Guard troops currently on the ground in LA. * Those troops can, for example, protect federal property consistent with the Posse Comitatus Act. * The order is limited to California.

My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.

“For more than thirty years, when New Yorkers needed a champion, we have turned to Jerry Nadler—and he has delivered for us time and again. Jerry stood alongside gay and trans Americans when it was politically unpopular, voted with courage—not calculus—against the Iraq War and the Patriot Act, stood steadfast alongside the first responders and families sickened after 9/11, and led efforts to hold a lawless Trump administration accountable. Few leaders possess his record of principled progressivism, and fewer can claim to have made such an enduring impact on the fabric of our city. Congress will be worse off without his leadership, but our democracy will be better for the selflessness that has defined a legendary career.”

Trump has essentially deployed the National Guard in an effort to prevent the release of the Epstein files.

I hate living in a country where this story exists. It would not need to in a country with actual gun laws. www.startribune.com/he-couldnt-r...

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Plaintiffs: No. Possible some children might be in that situation, but everything we could find on short notice is children not in this situation. Judge: Mr. Ensign you saying that *all* these children have parents who are requesting their return to Guatemala? DOJ: That's what I've been told Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Judge: During recess, I read provision you cited and then the complaint. Every one of 10 named plaintiffs says they are *afraid* of being sent back to Guatemala. (Reads aloud from declarations.) Doesn't line up with what govt is saying. This is why we have courts.

They attack Fauci, an actual doctor and scientist, but praise RFK Jr., who’s never even seen the inside of a lab. Make it make sense.

I had a relative who said that if he had a dog,its name would be the n word, just so he could stand on his back porch and yell “Here (n word, n word, n word)! He eventually did get a dog,but he was married by then,so the dog was named Digger, a NASCAR cartoon,supposedly. I think it was close enough.

Actually, he thinks that he is the state, and that everything should be controlled by the state, as long as he's the state.

He made a deal with commissioner to put Clemens in the Hall of Fame? Why? Do they know each other from Epstein parties?

It appears the Trump admin may again be lying to a federal judge.
