Kagan expressed cautious support for an enforcement mechanism, but contended that this posed "extremely difficult" questions because such a mechanism should not be under the control of the executive or the legislature. Kagan suggested that this tension might be resolved by retaining the services of retired federal judges. Barrett said she was "less certain," but that she considers current ethics rules binding on her, and that all of the justices are "fully committed" to following them.
Difficult decision - Jon Ossoff Republicans have doubled down and committed tens of millions of dollars to attack me in Georgia. So my team and I decided to respond by increasing our ads budget to try to drown out the attacks and set the record straight. Let me be clear: This was a difficult decision. It means we now have a gap in our budget, but I gave the green light because I knew I could count on this team to step up. We just can't afford to take our foot off the gas right now. But to sustain our advertising budget at this level, I need your help today. Can you chip in to help me fill this budget gap and keep my ads on the… and so on and so forth.
Sicko from the Onion comic.
Graham Nordone was taken in by her aunt and uncle and described her older brother as a father figure and caregiver. Graham taught her how to spell her name — incorrectly, as her birth certificate says Darlene — and later formally adopted her to allow her access to military benefits.
A giant Halloween decoration at Lowe’s.
The poster, a large bearded man in a suit, next to his fiancée, an extremely attractive woman in a wedding dress. It’s not clear why she’s being seen with him in public let alone engaged to him.

An almost disgustingly indistinct 20-something white dude in a suit with black-rimmed glasses and the default Nazi haircut with the shaved sides and the dumb little combover-looking tuft on top.

Screenshot of an Instagram post: GLEN POWELL SAYS CHRIS PRATT'S CASTING AS STAR-LORD CHANGED HOLLYWOOD In a recent interview with GQ, Glen Powell talked about how Chris Pratt's casting as Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy actually shifted the landscape of modern blockbusters. Before Pratt stepped into the role, most leading men in big franchises were written to be serious, brooding, or hard-edged. Star-Lord changed that.
Comic with a peasant and a guy popping out of a well. Peasant: “We should improve society somewhat.” Well Guy: “Yet you participate in society. Curious! I am very intelligent.”
Shapiro, who is running for reelection this fall and a potential 2028 presidential contender, argued that Democrats were ready to "have a battle over what we believe in," something that he said hadn't occurred for the party since the 1992 election, when the party nominated then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, who went on to defeat President George H. W. Bush.
A third Mamdani-backed candidate was locked in a tight race in another contest that will test the strength of the democratic socialist movement: Early returns showed a close contest between Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D) and his primary challenger Darializa Avila Chevalier, a doctoral student who worked on the Mamdani campaign.

The musical acts Trump initially booked for the Great American State Fair. Martina McBride, Young MC, The Commodores, Morris Day, and Bret Michaels are crossed out, while C+C Music Factory, Vanilla Ice, Flo Rida, and the surviving half of the public face of Milli Vanilli are not. (Note that the sisters who actually did the singing for Milli Vanilli have denied any involvement, so it's just one of the two guys who did the lip syncing.)

Mr. Rogers, sitting next to a Black man, with their feet in a tiny kiddie pool.
Six Simpsons screencaps. Groundskeeper Willie says, “Brothers and sisters are natural enemies! Like Englishmen and Scots, or Welshmen and Scots, or Japanese and Scots, or Scots and other Scots. Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!”

A famous clip of a giant stone swastika atop the Nazi party rally grounds in Nuremberg exploding after WWII.
A Threads post that shows polling where Beccera and Steyer are 1 and 2, and says Bianco can put Hilton in the top two by dropping out two days ago and endorsing Hilton. Because this guy apparently forgot everyone in the state got a mail-in ballot a month ago and shockingly few votes are cast on Election Day itself.

After yet another No. 1 hit, "Ladies Night," the band closed with "Get Down On It" and, finally, "Celebration," formerly the song that would play at the Oakland Coliseum after Oakland Athletics wins and that will eventually be the song played at Athletics owner John Fisher's funeral because he stole the team from the city.
