1. I hope gaetz goes down in a flaming ball of shame and does the honorable coward thing and starts spilling all the tea in order to save his mortal soul.
2. Pfizer’s news that their vaccine is 100% effective and well tolerated by the 12-15 YO crowd is balm to my soul.
3. Its Vaccine Day 1 for me! Complete with required anxiety nightmare that I missed my time slot, after arriving early and getting my vial of vaccine to give to the pharmacist, because I decided to take a shower in their public bathroom (there was a shower). My shoes were stolen during said shower and I missed my name being called. I couldn’t get any one to give me the shot after and the vial was about to go bad. And i lost my shoes. I am handling this extremely well.

👀 A federal judge ruled Tuesday that a broad non-disclosure agreement that Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign required employees to sign is unenforceable. U.S. District Court Judge Paul Gardephe’s ruling generally steered clear of the constitutional issues presented by such agreements in the context of political campaigns. Instead, the judge — an appointee of President George W. Bush — said the sweeping, boilerplate language the campaign compelled employees to sign was so vague that the agreement was invalid under New York contract law. www.politico.com/news/2021/03/30/trump-campaign-non-disclosure-agreement-478648

WTF? I have only been to DC once but I feel like I was super cautious to speak in low tones and respectfully when we did our monuments tour. I cannot even fathom allowing children to run amok enough to SWIM in the memorial. It is a sacred space FFS. There's even a toddler in nothing but a pull-up WHAT

Also wondering how far back this vague NDA was used.

Thankful for Aaron Rupar, that was amazing to watch and this clip is #best. Gaetz learning he is the bottom of the alliance. Tucker Carlson trademarked the phrase "standing up for what's right?" Lordy

Ok I found the Tucker clips confusing. This makes much more sense.

I don't think we discussed this, the video is pretty horrifying, so be warned if you choose to view it. I'm glad the suspect has been identified and will face consequences.

It happens every year. People pick the cherry blossoms too. Tangential, but did you see the cherry blossoms in Japan bloomed the earliest in the 1200 year history of these trees?

My ex is currently in Japan for the year. He sent some pics from where he’s staying. I think there are some in it. I’ll look again when I’m at a computer.

I am sure an appeal is pending but for now? 🍿☕️🍾

Some pics from DC. They are so beautiful!
These aren't from the tidal basins and this isn't my neighborhood, but this is pretty representative of the greater DC area this time of year.

It is magic this time of year here (minus the sneezing). They're all over my neighborhood too.

dc2london, same! I suspect Mark Herring played strongly into this MJ push. Mark has been working on it for a while.

I’m sure there will be more “that tweet aged terribly, but how much truth was in it” posts, but the maths people are doing in the comments 😬

Apparently there is a lot going on with SCOTUS and NCAA. Apparently Justice Thomas asked a question and this is abnormal.

Biden just spoke on COVID and begged, and I mean begged, for governors to reimpose mask mandates. I am pretty certain if he is begging for mask mandates back my worthless governor will turn around and make masks illegal. Are these governors also turning away billions of dollars in COVID relief aid from the feds? 😡

I love that they are asking tough questions. But also, keeping this in mind too. I would live in a sports desert if it weren’t for D1 sports and specific college tournament taking place here. Though I didn’t know it was being heard. I’m very interested in whatever the outcome may be, this can have significant implications here (and other places, but this is where my ass is planted).

And so many of these attacks are happening in broad daylight, in front of crowds of people, and everyone just standing by doing nothing to help the victims.
