Mifepristone isn’t the only abortion drug. “Misoprostol is the primary alternative drug used for medication abortion and can be used alone. While the standard, most effective U.S. protocol combines mifepristone and misoprostol (\(95\%-99\%\) effective), misoprostol-only regimens are safe, effective (\(80\%-90\%+\)), and widely used globally, especially if mifepristone is restricted.” –Planned Parenthood
Those chuds who filed the lawsuit know this, but they wanted to keep the cash donations coming in, so they pretended that this will end it once and for all. It won’t.
Some very good news out of a Texas federal court: Alex Jones doesn't have standing to appeal a Bankruptcy court order that placed InfoWars' assets in state receivership, meaning they can be licensed or sold to us. More to come, obviously, but we're almost there.
All I can add to this is my unmitigated joy that I was able to get my tubes tied after my youngest son was born. Being fully in control over my body this way has given me such comfort and freedom, more than words can possibly convey.
OT—this guy presenting on our retirement plan sounds like that Aziz guy’s character on Parks and Rec. “Guys! Right? Y’all want a boat when you retire? Woooo! I love my boat! Sweet, right? Cabo!”
Oh lordt THIS, my brain just goes...free range. I can *sort* of make it thru printed matter, but otherwise NOPE. Maybe if it was charades or the like. SIGH.
Unlike Mr. Trump, who posts constantly on social media and regularly takes questions and even unscheduled phone calls from the press, Mr. Xi is always choreographed. He reads from a script and strikes the same pose in every photograph with world leaders. During the summit, some Chinese social media users mocked this predictability, commenting that Mr. Xi appeared to be exactly the same height as Mr. Trump — and nearly every visiting world leader he has appeared with in photos. As a 32-year-old tutor in southern Fujian Province put it on Threads, “I’d be much more interested in seeing Yao Ming meet Xi Jinping,” referring to the former N.B.A. player who is 7 foot 6 inches tall, “just because they’d be the same height, too.” He asked not to be named for fear of government retribution.
Somebody should have suggested "Turtle Nest Soup" as a good Chinese food to Trump so that he would ask for it. Hopefully we get videos of him asking for it.
Pass me a shovel; there's undermining to do.

Let's hope it doesn't involve any agita.
Obligatory:

We are always "open" to chat. We are almost as open to chat than Trump is open to bribes.

two minutes fucking late!!
yrrrr
smoking lamp is lit
I got distracted... :[
(which seems to be okay because no Hoop yet - phew!!)
ONE minute until Hooper arrives!!
Listen: Hooper has come unstuck in time.
Rats!
It remains a mystery to me that Robyn has not yet gotten a Pulitzer for her extremely knowledgeable analyses.
OT, man, it'd sure be nice to be able to relax without feeling guilt or shame...

Right, Tim Onion!
<<Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia dissented>>
Roger Taney also dissented.

He says this when last week he wrote the opinion the overturned the Voting Rights Act.

Yeah, we've been saying that a lot about your bullshite...
Sam "decision for the ages" alito?
That was Roberts.
He was right, in that it was a decision for the ages. In the same way Dred Scott was a decision for the ages.
OT—this guy presenting on our retirement plan sounds like that Aziz guy’s character on Parks and Rec. “Guys! Right? Y’all want a boat when you retire? Woooo! I love my boat! Sweet, right? Cabo!”
What’s his commission? He’s thinking about his own boat.
Get up and leave when he offers a timeshare plan and a free lobster dinner.
I would leave if I wasn’t woozy. The second someone starts talking about money stuff I go to a fugue state.
Oh lordt THIS, my brain just goes...free range. I can *sort* of make it thru printed matter, but otherwise NOPE. Maybe if it was charades or the like. SIGH.
I think I saw that guy at the Cabo airport.
TFG in an interview with Sean Hannity: "Xi is tall, very tall, and looks like he's right out of Central Casting."
So Xi jumped out of a wardrobe & yelled KARATE CHOP, is that what yr saying you demented rascist?
TV brained moron.

That would be casting as "Ming the Merciless" no doubt.
I see that a lot was accomplished.
* snort *
Part of me thinks we better be glad a lot was not accomplished
I want to know how much of the country got sold off and which parts
Wish I were kidding
As much as I appreciate these Senators and Rep Stansbury
This is not going to become law

The regime is ALREADY TRYING TO MAKE THESE DEALS for THE PUBLIC LANDS
JUST LIKE WE TOLD YOU THEY WOULD
And even more was achomplished.
He was even offered 'real' Chinese food there. The Chinese love Trump.
All need to learn about "real" Chinese food I learned from Waiting for Guffman https://youtu.be/MsqHBexWD1w?si=IRkMVCADbu6iz_05
oh jesus
Somebody should have suggested "Turtle Nest Soup" as a good Chinese food to Trump so that he would ask for it. Hopefully we get videos of him asking for it.
And basketball and bluejeans, apparently.
...for Winnie-the-Pooh?
Oh, bother.
I finally had to buy the good olive oil to replenish the pantry, and GOOD GOD!!
I bought liters of it a year or so ago.
