clarence thomas had lunch with desantis and no one says anything. Someone mistakes Chuck Schumer's wife for Justice Sotomayor while they were out for dinner and people were demanding Sotomayor resign or recuse herself from some cases.

This guy in the bear hoodie is Macsen Rutledge. Yes, he stormed the Capitol. He was arrested in Lansing NY today. Congratulations to all of us - he's the 900th person arrested for Jan 6th. Let's get it to 1000 soon.
I put a survivor of sex trafficking on a plane to Connecticut today for the sixth time. She is a child who was raped, impregnated and in desperate need of adequate healthcare that she can’t receive under Tennessee’s barbaric abortion ban. Nothing about this is “pro life.”

I thought I'd leave these here. Just in case, hypothetically, the new potential owner of Twitter decides to bar videos critiquing billionaires and the system that enables them.
Hey @TSA, one of your security line agents at JFK was telling people to vote Republican, which is a violation of the Hatch Act. Who do I report this to?
The NY Post says their website is hacked today by someone posting insane, inflammatory stuff and salacious photos to get people all worked up over false information and soft core porn. I didn’t really notice a difference.

The Battle of Bamber Bridge, 1943.
Racist US military police attacked black US troops on British soil.
US military authorities demanded the town’s pubs impose a colour bar, the local landlords responded with signs that read “Black Troops Only” which pissed them off.

CNN reports that Trump’s legal team (including James Trusty, Evan Corcoran and Lindsey Halligan) are at a federal courthouse in DC with DOJ regarding a dispute on the MAL docs case, before Chief Judge Beryl Howell. Could be notable that this is happening in DC versus Florida.
