The Morality Police have returned to Iran, but the mood has definitely changed.
"Despite the mounting pressure created by the patrols, the women bravely adorn their chosen attire and confidently visit cafes, purchase books and take leisurely strolls.
They aim to send a resolute message: "We are not turning back."

I know of 81M witnesses who are ready to testify.
“Donald Trump’s lawyers and advisers are trying to figure out if there is evidence and witnesses they are unaware of that are bolstering special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election,” CNN reports.
“The target letter suggests the special counsel will prosecute a bigger case against Trump than the former president’s team was expecting, given the evidence they are aware of."
The United States Supreme Court has already spoken, humiliating the state in front of the nation. But our lawmakers in Montgomery have no sense of shame. As they redraw the maps, again, these lawmakers have learned nothing. https://link.al.com/view/5efe4c2042ce88753244f961j4m4r.2wu/3e172864
Joe Biden’s Twitter account put that line over an ad using the words of Georgia Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Turning Points Action Conference speech from last weekend, in which she set out to tear down the president’s policies but ended up making him sound terrific."

Earlier, @usedgov held a hearing on our path forward on student debt relief — a key step to get relief to as many borrowers as possible, as quickly as possible.

There are 25,000 (ish) homeless people in Canada.
There are 27,000 (ish) "places of worship".
If the indictment doesn’t include all the crimes — including aiding and abetting insurrection — that Trump may have committed, the reason is likely to be a strategic judgment that less is more: a streamlined, narrow trial could lead to a much faster conviction. So don’t fret it.
Goddammit, #AssociatedPress, it's not an accident! It's criminal neglect. It's child endangerment. It's failure to secure a deadly weapon. It's absolute irresponsibility. One child dead and the other traumatized forever because someone thought they needed to own a firearm, and needed to have it loaded and unsecured around small children. Stop calling it an accident!

“The letter mentions three federal statutes: Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States; deprivation of rights under color of law; and tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant. It does not offer further details, nor does it detail how the special counsel believes Trump may have violated the statutes, the source tells Rolling Stone.”
