Guess who's graduating from high school today.

I haven’t been able to find my I HAVE SPAWNED post from 17 years ago.

She’s, most importantly, a good person. She’s an old soul as my wife says. She’s smart too - top 2% nationally on her SATs (yeah I’m bragging).

I’m going to be a mess at the event I’m sure.

Mark Meadows has a "biographer"? CNN. The audio on Trump came from their LAPTOP

I can’t find a link on this.

George Santos "would rather surrender to pretrial detainment" than name his bail $ source

Rep. George Santos' (R-NY) lawyers filed court documents Monday in which they begged a judge to keep the guarantor who paid the congressman's bail bond secret, according to CBS News reporter Scott MacFarlane.

“There is little doubt that the suretors will suffer some unnecessary form of retaliation if their identities and employment are revealed," the defense lawyer also said.

“My client would rather surrender to pretrial detainment than subject these suretors to what will inevitably come," the lawyer explained.

Florida Repubs - that anti-immigration law was just supposed to scare people.

On Monday, Representatives Alina Garcia, Rick Roth, and Juan Fernandez Barquin appeared at an event sponsored by Hialeah Mayor Esteban Bovo, also a Republican. The trio, all of whom voted to pass the anti-immigrant bill, clumsily attempted to appeal to the thousands of people their party has alienated.

“This bill is 100 percent supposed to scare you,” said Roth. “I’m a farmer, and the farmers are mad as hell. We are losing employees. They’re already starting to move to Georgia and other states. It’s urgent that you talk to all your people and convince them that you have resources, state representatives, and other people that can explain the bill to you,” he added, essentially begging Florida’s labor force to not leave the state that cares little for them.

“This is more of a political bill than it is policy. It does give more police state powers going forward to deal with immigration, but still this is mainly a political bill,” Roth concluded incoherently. It’s just politics and messaging, but also it ramps up the police state, but also it’s just all politics. OK.

“I really didn’t prepare anything,” Garcia said while beginning her remarks, adding that she agreed with everything Roth said. “This is a bill basically to scare people from coming to the state of Florida, and I think it’s done its purpose.”
