Actually didn't know that he'd been cosplaying here as humble Maine fishing village guy. That Times piece might lead to more protesters.
John Roberts' friend and defender is quoted in the piece, saying they shouldn't be shaming Roberts for the wreckage and ruin he's brought to this country because of "civility."
The bullies always cry "civility" when the victims push back in the slightest.

The chief justice’s summer retreat in Maine used to be one of boating, potluck dinners, touch football and easy friendships. Locals called him “John.”

Even *I* know the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes and I don't even watch college sports. Though to be fair, that might only be because of @dweeze.bsky.social. (On the other hand, I can read, so I can see that Hawkeyes has a different number of letters than Hawks.)

Saw Asante Samuel in the game and was like, wow, I can't believe he's still in the league. And then I googled him and found out it's his son. Didn't make me feel old at all.

They're going to spend the next 2 days trying to paint Democrats as extremists based on some interviews the DSA gave Fox News. But here's the proof that, when they actually get enough power, Republicans are the ones with the radical vision that would destroy society.

I have no love for the Sununu family, but it is very funny to see Scott Brown get his ass handed to him. Maybe in a few years he can find yet another state to lose in.
The field is set for the New Hampshire Senate race.
The AP has called the Democratic primary for Chris Pappas and the GOP primary for John Sununu. Both as expected.
