Speaker Johnson leaves off his resume:

He was appointed inaugural dean of the Judge Paul Pressler School of Law in 2020. Judge Paul Pressler is currently in litigation over accusations of sexually assaulting boys. One was 14. Johnson “adopted” a boy that same age. he Judge Paul Pressler School of Law was going to teach law from a conservative Christian perspective. Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins was on the board. The school never opened.

US Congress
Republicans to meet allies of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán on ending Ukraine aid
...
A diplomatic source close to the Hungarian embassy said: “Orbán is confident that the Ukraine aid will not pass in Congress. That is why he is trying to block assistance from the EU as well.”

They were my first live concert in '84 and they were amazing!

So just watched "Leave the World Behind" on Netflix. It was beautifully directed Sam Esmail of Mr Robot fame and the acting is top notch and the cinematography is fantastic.
But apocalyptic to the nth degree (if you like that sort of thing, and I do, this is incredibly satisfying). Imagine the dread Hitchcock's The Birds evokes on mega-steroids and you're sorta in the ballpark with this.

Highly recommended..

Could Long Covid ‘Brain Fog’ Be an Acquired Form of ADHD?

Many people who have long Covid report having problems with thinking, attention, and memory. One physician examines whether this “brain fog” could be a form of acquired ADHD, which usually first manifests in childhood. How should society respond to a growing population of newly neurodivergent adults?

The Texas Supreme Court temporarily STAYS the district court's order permitting Kate Cox to get an abortion while it reviews AG Ken Paxton's petition for mandamus and motion for temporarily relief.

Judge has given more rights to a dead non-viable fetus than a woman.
