Let’s get the thing with the boots over first: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis showed up for a photo-op in white wellies and immediately drew a slew of “Who wore them best?” tweets, mostly split between Nancy Sinatra and the green M&M, who, before black mermaids and crystal flutes, had conservatives up in arms over those […]
Jack Ohman (Counterpoint) notes the lack of conflict-of-interest rules for Congress, in light of a proposal by Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) to prevent senior government officials, including Supreme Court Justices, from playing the stock market.

Never before have we gone to another country where governments have a record of repressing free […]
MythTickle creator Justin Thompson has posted a two part report on his December trip to Havana Cuba to paint a mural of Snoopy and Woodstock at the invitation of the community.
