Democrats stick it to Republican cheating efforts - Palmer Report
We have never needed this law until we got the ultimate sore loser in 2020.

House Republicans' attempt at finding a Speaker just keeps getting uglier - Palmer Report
Liz Cheney would be an excellent Speaker. And it pays well.
House Democrats come out swinging in George Santos scandal - Palmer Report
I know it's a serious problem. But it's also funny. Every time I think about it, ROFLMAO. This guy had a resume that was TOO good.

28 U.S. Code § 455 requires that “any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”
If Thomas fails to recuse himself from Moore v Harper, he'll be breaking that law.

Today I thought you might enjoy my reminisces from almost exactly thirty years ago when I was tapped for a cabinet position. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-survive-a-senate-confirmation
We need to go back to 1950's tax tables too. Back when people like Musk would be taxed at 93%. Gives the government more income and reduces the power of the billionaires.
Monopolies are driving the most extreme wealth imbalance in over a century. We must revive antitrust law and stop the monopolization of America. No...

Three multibillionaires now own more wealth than the bottom half of America – 160 million Americans.
Don’t tell us we can’t afford a wealth tax on the super-rich.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

“Stolen trauma.” Yes. Happens a lot in this country, to a lot of different communities.
RT @Lollardfish@twitter.com
Thinking about George Santos' stolen trauma (like stolen valor) in the context of @emilyctamkin@twitter.com's "Bad Jews" and @DaraHorn@twitter.com's "People Love Dead Jews." There's a power to our story of nearly being exterminated that grifters like Santos think they can steal.

@TheOldGuy Just click on the text for the whole thread - usenet style. That was Kari, my bodacious babe, who stars in my savage fantasies, I can't talk about. Involves whips and chains. -- I'm so sick.
These tracks are 3½ to 4 inch diameter. I am thinking bobcat. It made a lot of tracks coming and going. Anyone out there who can confirm???

Last week, 3,000 Americans died from #COVID19 and there were no headlines.
This week, 4,600 US flights have been cancelled, and there are endless headlines.
Our priorities are showing, and they're not very caring or logical.

In reality, Brexit has hobbled the UK economy, which remains the only member of the G7 — the group of advanced economies that also includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States — with an economy smaller than it was before the pandemic : https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/24/economy/brexit-uk-economy/index.html
