    I so look forward to the day when I can turn on my TV and not hear his voice.

    Seriously, I dream of that day.

    I'm watching the HBO documentary on the Ohio State sexual abuse case that should've come out before the election, and wow. It's gutting and hard to watch, but I wish everyone would.

    And Jim Jordan is a big fat liar and despicable person.

    But you all knew that.

    Fascism is harder to pull off when everyone is running around with little video cameras in their pockets, and can easily share the footage of bad deeds with the world.

    Wow.

    A convicted Jan. 6 Capitol rioter has been hired to work in a Pentagon office that handles classified military information.

    Elias Irizarry was hired to work in the DOD’s Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, and internal alarms are going off.

    OK, I needed a good laugh today.

    Pam Bondi claimed that seizing 22 million fentanyl laced pills (questionable) saved over 119 million lives, and James Surowiecki humorously pointed out that she is claiming that without her efforts, one third of Americans would've died.

    Alex Acosta remains defiant defending his decision not to prosecute Epstein.

    He “essentially said he didn’t have faith in the victims, their stories and their ability to tell their own story and their own testimony, which is deeply disturbing to all of us sitting in there,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost.

    California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join.

    Emil Bove now has a lifetime appointment as a judge, and I'm just f**king done.

    There is no justice in the world and all of this is so wrong.

    I lol'd at this.😆

    Told my wife to have dinner ready at 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.

    Jesse Watters did not believe the election fraud claims but still texted his colleague Greg Gutfeld to say he thought Fox would get “incredible” ratings if they “went ALL in on STOP THE STEAL.”

    Who cares about democracy if you can get ratings?

    When a president "doesn't know" if he has to follow the constitution, how do you not immediately bring up the fact that he took an oath to do exactly that?

    A real journalist would do that.

    A conspiratorial fluffer would move right along and pretend everything was normal.

    This is bad.

    Three Washington state protesters have been found guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of a bus taking people to an immigration detention center in Tacoma, and now face 6 years.

    Six others took plea deals rather than going to trial.

    The U.S. Postal Service announced they're charging a 8% surcharge on all package shipments to offset rising fuel costs • The surcharge will begin April 26 and would remain in place until January 17th, 2027 Source: about.usps.com/newsroom/nat...
    The U.S. Postal Service filed notice today with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) regarding a time-limited price change to better align its costs of transportation with the market. This temporary price adjustment will provide needed flexibility for the Postal Service by helping to ensure that the actual costs of doing business are covered, as required by Congress. While this price increase is a time-limited adjustment, it will provide a necessary bridge to a permanent mechanism to reflect market conditions in prices for competitive products that can support the Postal Service’s ability to achieve the universal service obligation in a more financially sustainable manner going forward. The planned price change, which was approved by the Governors of the Postal Service on March 24, is an 8 percent increase that would affect base postage prices on the following retail and commercial domestic competitive products: Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and Parcel Select. No other products or services would be affected, including First-Class Stamps. Pending favorable review by the PRC, the price change would go into effect at midnight Central Time on April 26 and would remain in place until midnight Central Time on Jan. 17, 2027. At that time, the Postal Service can determine if a different long-term approach is needed. Transportation costs have been increasing, and our competitors have reacted with a number of surcharges. We have steadfastly avoided surcharges and this charge is less than one-third of what our competitors charge for fuel alone, so even with this change, the Postal Service continues to offer great value in shipping with some of the lowest rates in the industrialized world. The time-limited price change is consistent with industry practices and will support the Postal Service’s ability to continue achieving its public service mission — providing a nationwide, integrated network for the delivery of mail and packages at least s…

    Former DOJ pardon attorney Liz Oyer testified before Congress on Monday, accusing her former agency of “corruption and abuse of power.” She claimed that armed U.S. Marshals were sent to her home to deliver what she described as a “warning” from the DOJ, cautioning her about the risks of testifying.

    Can we please stop talking about Jake Tapper now?

    I mean really, is there anything of value here?

    And I'm completely baffled by why anyone would watch @cnn.com anymore. Yes, they were the gold standard of TV news for a couple of decades, but for the last three years they've been unwatchable.
