@AgathaChocolats Changed my mind. No milk, thanks.

@masanori909 @jcom_support Me too. Several times including my Linksys mesh system. My wife happened to spot a J:COM notice on the TV, otherwise I’d still be crawling around the floor plugging and unplugging and restarting equipment.

Listening to an interview on NPR with @MichelleObama and it’s interesting but Oh My, Michelle, the number of times you say um, and you know, and right!

I recommend joining Toastmasters to overcome this use of useless filler words.

BREAKING: President Biden drops a bomb on MAGA world by announcing that he will veto a formerly bipartisan bill that would add 63 permanent judgeships because Donald Trump would now be the one to fill 22 of the seats.

You have to fight fire with fire...

Biden promised to veto the bill which has already passed in the Senate and is set to be voted on by the Republican-controlled House this week.

The bill was designed to add judgeships to help with the backlog at federal courthouses across the country. However, if the choice is between having too few judges or having 22 new MAGA ones, it's better to not have the judges at all.

"Under this legislation, we all promised to give the next three unknown presidents a certain number of judges," said Congressman Jerry Nadler. "Because no one can tell the future we were all at an equal disadvantage, but for this deal to work, the bill had to be passed before Election Day."

It's encouraging to see Democrats strategically wielding power like this. Joe Biden has a responsibility to protect the American people from Donald Trump as best he can.

BREAKING: Donald Trump's campaign panics over shocking new allegations leveled against him by Bob Woodward and lash out at the legendary Watergate reporter, calling him "truly demented and deranged man."

They're terrified...

According to Woodward's new book War, Trump secretly sent COVID-19 testing equipment to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in 2020 when the devices were still not widely available.

The book also cites an aide who alleges that Trump and Putin have spoken on the phone as many as six times since Trump the White House.

Woodword also states that in 2024 Trump ordered one of his aides to leave his office at Mar-a-Lago so that he could have a clandestine phone call with Putin.

Trump world is rushing to do damage control.

"None of these made up stories by Bob Woodward are true and are the work of a truly demented and deranged man who suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome," said Trump spokesman Steven Cheung.

"Woodward is an angry, little man and is clearly upset because President Trump is successfully suing him because of the unauthorized publishing of recordings he made previously," he continued. "President Trump gave him absolutely no access for this trash book."

Cheung added that Woodward is a "a total sleazebag who has lost it mentally."

Clearly, the reporter has struck a nerve. The Department of Justice should launch an immediate investigation. If Trump is secretly selling our country out to our adversaries, we have a right to know.

BREAKING: MAGA world melts down as Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell publicly admits that Donald Trump's tariffs would be a complete disaster for Americans.

The cat's out of the bag now...

"Former President Trump has proposed a 200% tariff on John Deere tractors if they're made in Mexico, are you concerned that some of the tariff proposals by the GOP nominee could drive up costs for consumers or hurt urban exporters in Kentucky for example?" asked a reporter.

"Yeah, I'm not a fan of tariffs," replied McConnell. "They raise the prices for American consumers. I'm more of a free trade kind of Republican that remembers how many jobs are created by the exports that we engage in so I'm not a tariff fan."

For once, McConnell is right. Economists overwhelmingly agree that Trump's tariffs would succeed at little beyond raising everyday costs for average Americans.

Trump thinks that tariffs make America look tough, but in reality they only make us weaker.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris gets incredible news as the much-anticipated Quinnipiac poll reveals that she is leading Donald Trump 48% to 45% in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.

This is MAGA's nightmare and it gets so much better...

The poll also discovered that Harris is leading Trump with independents, 46% to his 42%. Even more impressively, more women support Harris with a 54% to 41% margin.

"With all five contenders factored in, Harris has an edge overall, with strong support from women in must-win Pennsylvania," said Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy.

50% of voters said that Kamala Harris "cares about average Americans." 46% said so about Trump.

52% said Harris has the "kind of personality and temperament it takes to serve effectively as president." Only 46% believe that Trump is.

46% believe Harris is honest, 37% say Trump is.

"Trump scores poorly on most key character traits including empathy, but none so glaringly as honesty, where Harris leads by a large margin; although they are perceived equally for their leadership skills," said Malloy.

BREAKING: Corrupt Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas gets devastating news as Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe explains how the government could prosecute him for his countless crimes.

This is MAGA's worst nightmare...

"What they need to open an investigation is information that a federal crime has been committed," McCabe said during a podcast conversation with legal analyst Allison Gill.

"There's no law or policy that prevents DOJ from doing that," he continued. "In fact, they are tasked with investigating and prosecuting violations of federal law. This could easily be that. So, it would fall well within their authority to do it, but it would be very, very, very controversial."

The two were discussing the FBI's standards for opening a case as it relates to the shocking revelation that Thomas has been accepting bribes for years in the form of luxury trips, sweetheart loans, and gifts worth millions in total from wealthy Republicans.

Gill pointed out that the FBI should be able to investigate any branch of government. Since they have no problem investigating members of Congress, they should be able to probe the court as well.

The two discussed the "loan" that Thomas received for a luxury RV that was then forgiven, amounting to an out-and-out gift. As Gill explains, Thomas would have owed taxes on the gift and if he failed to pay them it "could be a violation of the law."

"So, the tax case is both good and bad," said McCabe. "It's a little bit tough to work through the hypothetical because of the IRS's investigative jurisdiction, which is actually statutory in nature."

McCabe said that if information emerges that Thomas received the bribe “in return for making a particular judgment or taking an official act on behalf of the person who gave him money" then the FBI "would have the information necessary to meet that low threshold of having information that violates federal or criminal law has occurred or will occur."

Clearly, a full investigation is necessary. Thomas is selling our democracy out for pennies on the dollar and making a mockery of all of us. It's high time that he was investigated, prosecuted, and held accountable for his crimes.
