The more you interrogate it, the less apt "relentless wrestler" becomes.

Jordan is no college champion extending his quest for excellence and talent for discipline to the next level of achievement.

He's a student of what he can get away with, betting that there are no refs. 7/

Just a reminder that on the 12/27/20 phone call where Trump told the acting Attorney General & his deputy to "just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me & the R. congressmen," Trump also singled out one of those members, a "fighter" named Jim Jordan. 1/

By now someone has explained the J6 indictment to him.

They’ve explained he cannot claim any forms of privilege. None apply.

He cannot fight it on constitutional grounds, such as 1A, because he isn’t being indicted for his speech.

He cannot argue the validity of the laws he has broken. They are clear and have been successfully applied to numerous cases.

He is being indicted for his deceitful actions. Actions that will be attested to by his lawyers and inner circle. His own people.

This is an indictment purposefully built for clarity and speed.

It terrifies him.

As it should.

TED CRUZ has ties to John Eastman, a longtime friend and author of key legal memos in Trump’s efforts.

This will be the most significant trial in our lifetimes. There will be so much disinformation and spinning. And so much that will go to the heart of who we are as a people.

All Americans should be able to see the trial for themselves. It absolutely must be televised. I very much hope the Chief Justice authorizes it.

Woke scientists predicted more extreme weather events will occur more frequently as a result of climate change.

So sure, you can do what Ron DeSantis does and close your eyes and ears and not be woke, but reality is reality. The laws of physics and chemistry are what they are.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WAS WORKING WITH A CHINESE SPY TO TRY TO ATTACK THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND WANTED TO GIVE THE SPY IMMUNITY FOR HIS CRIMES!

THIS IS CRIMINAL!!!

A wariness about appearing partisan, institutional caution, and clashes over how much evidence was sufficient to investigate the actions of Trump and those around him all contributed to the slow pace. https://t.co/O4Io5ur2K5

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Exclusive: A Washington Post investigation found that more than a year would pass before prosecutors and FBI agents jointly embarked on a formal probe of actions directed from the White House to try to steal the election.

Even then, the FBI stopped short of identifying the former president as a focus of that investigation. https://t.co/lf7QpfxFnr

The Human Rights Campaign has declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people living in the U.S. — the first time the organization has made such a warning in its 40-year history.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.

A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.

Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”

Values are transmitted from generation to generation.

What values are we teaching our children?

Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.

I heard there is a U.S. Senator damaging our military readiness by delaying 200 critical military promotions. Many people say that sets a dangerous precedent.

[RealHousewifeOfMichigan @RealHousewifeMi]

My son is 15

I never bought him a pride onesie when he was a baby.

I never read him a book that had two moms as part of the storyline.

When he was little stores and businesses didn’t have LGBTQ+ displays and we didn’t celebrate pride month.

He was raised Catholic, and went to church.

Guess what? He is gay.

The rainbow won’t make your kids gay. They are born that way. A display in a store won’t make your kid trans, they are born that way.

If you don’t love and accept them for who they are, YOU are a shitty parent.

They haven’t failed, you have.

Kevin McCarthy has quietly implemented a pay raise for members that could be $30,000+ per person. It circumvents the Constitution by instead reimbursing their rent, utilities, & meals.

We have a sacred obligation to care for the men and women who fought to protect our freedom.

This is how MAGA Republicans in Congress have chosen to repay them.

EVERY lawyer that argues before SCOTUS should now ask opposing counsel if they or their firm has any financial ties to any of the justices.
