NYC’s largest Girl Scout troop has welcomed hundreds of migrant girls, many of whom "have fled dire conditions in South and Central America and endured an arduous journey to the US."

"I am constantly being asked: Don't you find this a little too political?" said Meridith Maskara, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Greater New York. "If it has to do with young girls in New York City, then it's not political. It's our job."

Q: Why is Donald Trump suddenly selling $60 bibles?

A: It enables churches to funnel money to him without violating the (US law) ban on political campaigning by churches—it's a form of money laundering, in other words.

*** I WANT ***

A Congress with the gonads to tackle the issues causing the lost of respect for the Supreme Court.

1) Impeach any Justice with an ethics problem. Remove them from the Court! I can think of 3 immediately.
2) Impose Rules and a method of enforcement.
3) Increase the number of Justices to 13 so that politicization is more difficult.
4) Impose term limits. I suggest a single 8 year term for each Justice ... period.

What is happening right now is ridiculous!

26 March 1905 | An Austrian Jew, Viktor Frankl, was born in Vienna. A neurologist & psychiatrist. One of the founders of psychological humanism.

He passed through Theresienstadt and the camps of Auschwitz, Kaufering & Türkheim. He survived. Author of 'Man in Search of Meaning'.

Your periodic reminder that Medicare For All would save $450 billion in health care costs and 68,000 lives per year.

A state rep got caught committing securities fraud. A grand jury indicted him on felony charges. Years passed. The defendant was elected attorney general. Years more passed.

Now he has agreed to accept punishment. He must pay nearly $300,000 in restitution, take legal ethics classes and perform 100 hours of community service.

And he remains attorney general.

Given these impossible facts—what state are we in?

…in seeking the #GagOrder last month, #AlvinBragg’s prosecutors highlighted #Trump’s “longstanding history of attacking witnesses, investigators, prosecutors, judges, & others involved in #legal proceedings against him” — comments that the judge seized on in his ruling.

“His statements were threatening, inflammatory, denigrating,” Justice #Merchan wrote in the Tues order.

2/ Via Lisa Rubin:

Perhaps most importantly, he cannot talk abt prospective or actual jurors, period. That matters bc even though the pub won’t know their names, Trump himself has statutory right to know names of jurors in this NY state proceeding.

It’s common in this case for judge to release orders or opinions days after they are signed. But this 1? Signed today, same day Trump went after Cohen on Truth Soc & day after he attacked a senior lawyer in the DA’s office while cameras rolled.
