Thank you! I’m delighted to have the tickets. I saw the trailer for this at the RGB movie a couple of weeks ago at that theater, and couldn’t wait to see it.

The way the comments here pooh-pooh the idea of having a House chaplain is too bad. The House Chaplain is kind of like the Parliamentarian, in that they serve through multiple administrations of different parties, and are basically there because they *really* believe in the Congress as what it should be. We need more…

oh I love this SO MUCH! Please show off more of the designs you’re planning to translate to embroidery!

I think any time someone from the Trump Administration speaks up about what they saw and were asked to do, we should commend them. Yes, he was a shill for ICE and that’s disgraceful, but if we don’t welcome these people come out from the woodwork, we won’t get more of them, and we need as many as possible to defect if…

If Trump’s mother had hung up more of his artwork on the fridge maybe he wouldn’t be so desperate for the world’s approval now

In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Late to comment but in my 6 year old’s school, they call them “lockdown drills” and for the youngest, they tell them that it’s hiding and being quiet for safety “in case we need to keep you safe from something like a scared or angry dog running around loose in the building.” They elected not to introduce the idea of…

They actually did chant SHAME ON YOU at both Rubio and Loesch but the cameras didn’t pick it up. It was confirmed by multiple participants and audience members.

I’m not sure why you would object to a constitutional amendment over a law? An amendment can’t be overturned or subverted should one party take control of state government and wish to seize the opportunity to resume gerrymandering, and if lawmakers try it and it’s written into the state constitution, it can better be…

Thanks for clarifying this. I knew Dexter had said some pro-Trump garbage about Dreamers but I wasn’t sure about MLK III.

Because it still needs to be debunked to truly die - and because forcing Trump to release the rebuttal (which makes the case that the Nunes memo is willful obstruction of justice with participation from the WH) is pretty much just as good as forcing Trump to say he won’t release it (which makes him more obviously…

MLK’s two sons are in charge of the rights and they definitely knew about this. My understanding is that they’re both Trump supporters, god help us all. They do NOT get along with Berenice, who for some reason does not have any legal say in what the estate does.

February 4 was the actual 50th anniversary of the speech. And it was quoted at his funeral a couple of months later.

Came here to make sure this got posted, you did not disappoint

EAR TUFTS

My new thing is to digest only as much news as I can stand in a night, and then switch to reading random pop sci articles about animals and nature until I cease to wish that everything burn to the ground. I followed a ton of science mags and natural history museums on Twitter just to boost my article supply. There’s…

The memo gives plausible deniability to Trump for firing Rosenstein and for Congress to do nothing when Rosenstein is fired. (That’s what Trump wanted it to do when he commanded Nunes to write it, I’d wager.)

This is an excellent story!

Little kid food is the bomb. I don’t have a toddler anymore, my kid is a first grader, but I still carry graham crackers and Cheerios in my purse for myself because now the toddler is me.

He was a truly terrible president, but GWB’s reflexes were on point
