After a long morning of loading the POD, stuffing the car, cleaning, scrubbing, double-checking, all on very little sleep… we’re off! #Canada here we come.

Another day, another…

According to police, the victim approached three suspects who were in the middle of stealing a catalytic converter. One of them drew a gun and opened fire.” #GunViolence

👀👀👀Via Kyle Griffin:

New: Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse are requesting a meeting with Chief Justice John Roberts to discuss "the Supreme Court's worsening ethics crisis" and have sent a letter imploring Roberts to "take appropriate steps" to ensure Samuel #Alito recuses himself from 2020 election and Jan. 6 cases.

I hope they remind him that he, too, can be removed for "Bad Behavior."

Via Kyle Griffin:

In light of the second Alito flag report, Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin is calling for Samuel #Alito to recuse himself "immediately" from cases related to the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 insurrection "for the good of the country."

He adds: "The Chief Justice must see how this is damaging the Court and immediately enact an enforceable code of conduct."

@GottaLaff

Well, we all know CJ Roberts is spineless, so it will be a "cold day in hell" before he directs any right leaning justice to recuse themselves.

"Now it turns out that a flag representing the idea that the 2020 election was stolen, that the people should engage in armed revolution against tyranny, and that the United States should be a nation based in Christian theology has been flying over the home of Justice Alito, who is supposed to be defending the United States Constitution impartially."

Chief Justice Roberts' silence is compliance. He is as guilty of political bias as Alito & Thomas.

Damn. #RIP Award-winning actor Dabney Coleman -- who starred in hit movies such as Melvin and Howard, 9 to 5, On Golden Pond, and Tootsie -- has reportedly passed away at the age of 92.

He won an Emmy in 1987 for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Special for his role Sworn to Silence, but was nominated six times. He also won a Golden Globe Award. https://local12.com/news/entertainment/report-actor-dabney-coleman-passes-away-dead-death-age-92-melvin-howard-on-golden-pond-tootsie-movies-film-television-emmy-award

Worth emphasizing this, because most news outlets did not:

“Rep. Matt #Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Thursday ominously invoked Donald #Trump’s call to far-right violent extremists while joining the former president at his criminal trial in New York.

“Standing back and standing by, Mr. President,” Gaetz wrote on social media, along with a photo of himself positioned behind Trump at his trial.”
