Can't seem to find the skeet, but here's the statement in a news article

"I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate," Stevens said. "He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election"

These were just from the normal alertDC text number.

The quote wasn't included in the linked article so I went and found it. It's in an E&E report www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

Screenshot from an E&E article on expected firework pollution.

"First off, fireworks are awesome and we hope everyone enjoys the incredible shows in and around our nation’s capital as we celebrate 250 years of America,” Bastasch said in an email. “The EPA is not issuing permits for the fireworks for this event.”

I keep this chart saved because I get to explain this so often

Aha, I had this experience months ago but it looks like they haven't updated it.

Modern version of this (aside from the obvious Tonies) is the Little Tikes Story Dream Machine which works kind of like a slide projector to project book pages and read the story. It's so cute!

Retvrn to good April fools day gags

Screenshot of Tumblr on April Fools Day 2016. The entire site was reworked to look like a news broadcast for "Decision 2016." The candidates for the "election" were four lizards.

Related ad from DC network tv that I recently saw during an NBA game

Oh also shout out to the late Scion XB, a box in car form, for someone who never has to drive over a single bump ever.

Two I haven't seen mentioned. 1) Chevy SSR, the weird convertible pickup hybrid of the midaughts 2) The Nissan Murano Crosscabriolet, an unholy combination of midsize SUV and convertible

A red 2006 chevy ssr. It's red and bubble-shaped like something from the jetsons. It only seats two people.

A silver-grey Nissan Murano Crosscabriolet, pictured here with its softtop up. It's mostly shaped like an SUV, but has a car-shaped trunk to fit the converitble top, which gives it a bit of a badonkadonk. It's a design that is genuinely an affront to god.

Never not thinking about this photo

Photo from the RNC. An older white woman wearing an Alabama baseball jersey smiles serenely at something we can't see. She's holding a blue sign that says "MASS DEPORTATION NOW!". the others in the audience are blurred, but an older white man near her is also holding the same sign.

If someone wrote this about me, I would simply walk into the sea.

The Eastern District of Virginia has long enjoyed the service of experienced prosecutors
with unquestioned integrity from both political parties serving as the United States Attorney.
Despite coming from different political backgrounds and holding very different ideological
views, they all shared an unwavering commitment to the Rule of Law, putting the interests of the
citizens of the District before their own personal ambitions, as true public servants do.
Unfortunately, it appears that this ethos has come to an end. A district judge acting at the
direction of the Chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit has ruled on behalf of the district judges of this
District that Ms. Halligan was invalidly appointed as the United States Attorney. No matter all of
her machinations, Ms. Halligan has no legal basis to represent to this Court that she holds the
position. And any such representation going forward can only be described as a false statement
made in direct defiance of valid court orders. In short, this charade of Ms. Halligan
masquerading as the United States Attorney for this District in direct defiance of binding court
orders must come to an end.
For all of these reasons, the Court hereby STRIKES the words “United States Attorney'
from the signature block on the Indictment (ECF No. 1), as well as all other Government filings
in this case. (ECF Nos. 13, 18, 22.) The Court further BARS Ms. Halligan from representing
herself as the United States Attorney in any pleading or otherwise before this Court until such
time as she may lawfully hold the office either by Senate confirmation or appointment by this
Court ....^
5
For the avoidance of any doubt, this bar does not prevent Ms. Halligan from entering an
appearance or signing her name to pleadings in this Court as a “Special Attorney,” whatever that
title may mean.

In this case the men are waffles, women are spaghetti line is a longstanding evangelical bit of nonsense. There's even a book!

lemme just check in on some recent history real quick

Screenshot from wikipedia for the longest shutdown in history, 35 days in 2018-2019. Text says "In January 2019, representatives elected in the November 2018 election took office, giving the Democrats a majority in the House. The House immediately voted to approve the appropriations bill that had previously passed the Senate unanimously (which included no funding for the wall). For several weeks, Trump continued to maintain that he would veto any bill that did not fund an entire border wall, and Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked the Senate from considering any appropriations legislation that Trump would not support, including the bill that had previously passed"

To their credit, there are (or were?) absolutely signs on some infrastructure act projects that specifically mentioned Joe Biden

Sign outside construction site that says "project funded by President Joe Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law" with additional details about the partners for the project.

Bro, what. None of these words is correct.

Screenshot of a portion of the shared article, which says "to the vampire mating call "Your Idol" from KPop Demon Hunters, right now love feels like it's on the rocks — a painful, confusing, alienating pursuit." The phrase about the song from KPop Demon Hunters is highlighted.

And lest anyone get weird about the idea of annotations, it's specifically a thing to add context and history, and they've been doing it for over 100 years

Annotated
The Constitution of the United States of America: Analysis and Interpretation ("Constitution Annotated" or "CONAN") provides a legal analysis and interpretation of the United States Constitution based on a comprehensive review of Supreme Court case law and, where relevant, historical practices that have defined the text of the Constitution. This regularly updated resource is written in "plain English" and useful for a wide audience: from constitutional scholars to those just beginning to learn about the nation's most important legal document.

In publication for over 100 years, the Constitution Annotated is a comprehensive, government-sanctioned record of the interpretations of the Constitution. Through 2 U.S.C. § 168, Congress has ordered the Librarian of Congress to compile and periodically update the Constitution Annotated to provide essential information to Congress and the public at large. A bound edition of the Constitution Annotated is published every ten years, with cumulative updates printed as a supplement insert every two years. Copies of the bound edition and supplement insert are available to every Member of Congress and shipped to every depository library in the United States.

The most recent decennial bound edition was published in 2022; the next edition will be available in 2032. For archival PDFs of the Constitution Annotated since 1992, visit the United States Government Printing Office's collection

I mean charisma doesn't have anything to do with positivity, joy, etc. Just magnetism, you know? And trump obviously has that at least for his core supporters.
