@stuckinaredstate Well aware. As I already posted, this is nowhere near enough for a Republican-majority Senate to torpedo her nomination. This is everyday corruption for them.
@Graci That's not enough to force a Republican-majority Senate to turn down her nomination. They do that basic-level corruption every day.

From #FloridaToday:
Brevard County board of commissioners poised to declare they are a "Bill of Rights Sanctuary" where they can ignore any federal law they want.
(Article III of the Constitution says otherwise.)
#Space From #ArsTechnica: Space journalist Eric Berger on where the #Trump administration needs to go with #NASA.
#Trump education secretary nominee Linda McMahon was accused in a lawsuit of allowing a #WWE ring announcer to sexually exploit children. Linda denies the accusation.

From #CNN: International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas officials.
(Good luck with that ...)
Breaking from #NBCNews: #Ukraine claims #Russia launched #ICBM at Dnipro. The claim has yet to be confirmed by either Russia or the US.

@TomeReader I'm hoping the Dems will do that sooner than later, although I don't know if they have the gumption to do so.
From #CNN:
"Passengers who board before their assigned group will trigger technology that makes a sound to alert the gate agent."
Comment: So what happens when the team member asks the passenger to wait for their turn and the passenger (e.g. a #MAGA) refuses? What if they blow right past the team member and head down the runway?

Water is wet.
The sun rises in the east.
And, just as predictably, House "Ethics" Republicans chickened out and refused to release the Gaetz report.

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN You asked Alfred, not me, but Mike Okuda figured all this out a long time ago.
If you really want to delve into the technobabble, try this link:
From #Reuters on the Chinese-flagged ship being escorted by the Danish military. The ship might have some involvement with the Baltic cable lines cut last week.
I've been trying to find confirmation of this story from a recognized mainstream media source, but so far nothing, just reports from small foreign websites so take this with skepticism.
Anyway, the reports are that a Chinese ship captained by a Russian officer has been detained as a suspect in the cutting of Internet cables in the Baltic Sea.

@carmen It shows that good writing triumphs over low budget. No visual effects, no things blowing up, just a simple strong story with excellent acting by Donald Pleasance. I didn't even know it was him until the credits.
#CoSoWriters Just watched this wonderful little classic Twilight Zone episode. It's dedicated to all the English teachers out there who wondered if they'd make a difference with us.
From #CNN: This rumor has been floating around the Internet for a couple days. I have to wonder if this had anything to do with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski going to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Trump's a**, er, ring.
