Re: Gene Hackman...for sure, totally second "The Conversation" as iconic Hackman rôle, as his character was played so effing well as only Hackman could play it. Sure, loved Popeye Doyle, but not as nuanced as Harry Caul.

Roy Cohn’s protege is telling courts, la an every mobster ever, to go #&@+ themselves and we’re supposed to not see* this coming and be surprised why? (*Yes, pun.) MAGAts have an excuse, other Republicans a little less so, for not having a functional BS detector, but what excuse to our elected Democrats and libs have?

I mean, talk about on brand…

BTW, y’all know that it’s safe to presume that Roberts has already advised Trump what *&$# he can get away pulling.

The country is so close to dead that it won't matter.

Russell Vought and Elno keep handing tRump EO drafts daily, requiring only his Sharpie signature on live-camera, while the media dutifully reports "A new tRump Executive Order", as if the rotting yam actually produces these abortions. Such a broad farce, and millions are being savagely hurt by these actions, while shitty, sleepy tRump basks in all the attention.

I’m sure Senator Cassidy in his weekly convos with rfk jr will be able to express his concern and take care of this vaccine situation /s

The Roberts order apparently also generated emails (the same to all the USAID contractors) that "cancelled" all existing contracts for the sake of "efficiency". These appear to have been sent to all USAID contractors, whether or not they had any active contracts. Wasn't sure if you were aware of this. My unschooled assessment is that the formal 'cancellation" will make it even harder to comply with the district court's order (if the pause comes off).

Please stop linking to articles by Washington Bezos Post, or make a short summary. I will not be clicking links to propaganda rags.
