John Roberts should be impeached. He’s going against the constitution. Maxwell should be sent back where she came from and Trump should be on trial after explosive evidence. I totally agree with Jen that Pam Bondi should be impeached she is a liar 🤥 Thanks Norm and Jen for all you do. The news coverage isn’t a tenth of what we get from you guys. Keep on shining Norm and Jen!

Your colleague, Steve Vladick, wrote a substack newsletter explaining why Katanji Brown Jackson had to put an administrative stay on the lower court in order for it to remain in her circuit and not go to the full Supreme Court to decide on, which would have been worse. This gave her full control of it in terms of timing and granting relief.

BTW. So happy to hear you chose the govt's Medicare and not the privatized form of Medicare Advantage, which puts all kinds of limits on your healthcare. The 'drawback' to Medicare is that you must buy a supplemental insurance to cover what Medicare does not cover, which is ridiculously expensive. We need a universal single payer health insurance just like all the other developed (and some undeveloped) countries have. The Magas scream about 'efficiency'. What could be more efficient than cutting out the middle man and saving money?

It doesn't sound like Norm has made a decision yet, but I agree with you. Medicare A+B and Medicare supplement is the way to go. Advantage is not really Medicare at all and it is for the birds.

Sandra A. Jones's avatar

Yes. "Medicare" is a misnomer and probably intentionally misleading to get buy-in's who think they are covered by the govt Medicare. I have a couple friends who thought this.

Can we be confident no Epstein files have been shredded

kathleen mary's avatar

Sorry, I would not be so confident about the release of the Epstein files bc surely mike johnson, t & the t regime have allowed the Rep swearing in only bc they have a solid coverup plan to bamboozle maga supporters after having had ample time to plan during the Gov shutdown all of which revolved around the EFiles.

Renamed by NORM.

THE TRUMP- EPSTEIN FILES. YES.

Arkansas Blue's avatar

Nope, I still think Maxwell's name needs to be there, as well. Without her, Epstein would not have had the success he did in finding young innocent girls. As Virginia Giuffre said, 'Maxwell opened the door to hell for hundreds, if not thousands, of very young girls and women.

Perhaps call them the M-E-T files (for Maxwell-Epstein-Trump).

Terrible Trio. Works for me.

Thank you both, Jen and Norm! After almost a week of semi-blissful news ignorance, I was having a rough time going back to more-or-less-informed--especially when one of the first things I learned of was the 70-some pardons of the architects / enablers behind the scenes of Jan. 6.

Thanks for sharing a little joy--it helped boost me back into the ongoing horrific reality we're living in. Most importantly though, your telling of it gave me some hope that all is not lost yet. The fight goes on--in the courts and in the streets!

Happy Birthday Norm! As another newbie to Medicare, I appreciate your perspective about the milestone. I'll be amazed if the regime keeps it functional but credit where credit is due, so far, so good. I'm glad you're as invigorated as ever to bring the cases, fast-and-furious. Unlike Halligan, I'm so glad you know who to fly the planes successfully, without crash-landing. Keep doing what you do--and many thanks for it!

Jen it would be nice if you listed the fiber type that the beanie is made out of and the dimensions of the dog bandana (hint: a descriptive line or 2 goes a long way when ordering merch…) thanks!

Happy birthday Norm! I appreciate your sense of humor while explaining all the serious 💩 going on. Thanks for all you do. Just got my I’m a Contrarian t shirt in the mail from the first merch offering!
