Once again, I just want to say that lavish gifts to Supreme Court justices shouldn’t just be “disclosed.” They should be banned, outright. This should not be a radical position.

@rbreich

The US Military had a limit of $20 total value of gifts from working associates. The SCOTUS has no limits, I guess. Makes sense because soldiers were protecting us from falling into a fascist state and billionaires are for protecting people who would make them more $billions.

@georgetakei As you know there have been breakfast soups across east and south Asia through history, like
okayu (お粥)
juk (죽)
zhou (粥)
congee (கஞ்சி)
and so many more.

Love making mine with brown rice, ginger, lemon grass, garlic, and a good chicken broth. Yum. Send Adam my way and I'll make a fresh batch.

If you think the Supreme Court is out of control now, imagine if Trump appoints two, three, or four more justices.

@rbreich I fail to see how it could get worse. They are already laugh out loud corrupt plummeting approval doing whatever the fuck they want NOW.

add more immediately or throw them out

@rbreich The Supreme Court Justices that overturned Roe v. Wade were picked by GOP Presidents. These same justices talk about whether birth control should be protected.

Supreme Court Justices serve for life. We can’t afford more MAGA Justices. Vote Democrats for .

@georgetakei But they don't make dollar coins anymore and haven't in quite some time. In fact, if you have any they're probably worth more for collecting than actually using as $1.

But wait...can I get cash back?

@georgetakei

The ones at my local store ALSO display a message on the screen and won't continue until you confirm that you will use a card and not cash, or they won't let you scan the rest of your groceries.

...

(And, well, yea; they've still had to switch my session to a different register, from time to time. 🙄 )

I was driving with coworkers along a road with a great many more "no parking" signs than this along the sholder.

So I said,
"I wonder if it's OK to park here."

😈

(Yea; that got a reaction! 😈 )

Big chunks of Texas were under heat warnings this past week — with heat indexes hitting 115°F.

Reminder that Texas Gov. Abbott signed legislation that prohibits cities from mandating employers to provide workers with rest and water breaks.

This is the GOP's vision for America.

@rbreich I've been homeless under Republicans and Democrats. Only the privileged somehow see the distinction between two ruling classes with the same interests.

Casual reminder that only one current presidential candidate was found guilty of 34 felonies by a jury of his peers and is awaiting multiple trials covering 54 other felony charges.

That presidential candidate is named Donald Trump.

@rbreich And, from all that, it's the name that will be remembered. And name recognition means votes.

@rbreich If we don’t replace @joebiden with energetic Democratic candidate that felon you’re talking about, Trump, is going to win, it looks!

@georgetakei the whole Australian swimming team is paid by Australia's wealthiest and most vile right-wing billionaire. She is rich through inherited mining wealth from her father, Lang Hancock, who championed such causes as sterilizing Indigenous people and using nuclear explosives to blast for mining minerals https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/may/22/gina-rinehart-portrait-removal-saga-australian-swimmers-olympics-kyle-chalmers-support-national-gallery-of-australia-ntwnfb

@georgetakei The only thing worse than a bad looser is a bad winner. She demonstrated the latter already - now she can show
whether the former also applies to her.

@rbreich I don't agree with all of Biden's policies, but he's doing a good job. He's fit to serve and has the best chance of beating Trump.

So, Democrats and sane people need to chillax and not let ourselves be conned into self-sabotage and/or political disengagement.

@rbreich I am not understanding responses that practically paint @rbreich As a turncoat traitor to the party for doing nothing more than pointing out facts. Peculiar.
