Peter the Anteater – a great mascot
Peter is the mascot for the UC Irvine Anteaters. He’s on Twitter.
More proof that Hogan is a conservative
This is bad. He won’t respect the wishes of the Maryland legislature even though they overturned his veto. Do Republicans think elections only have consequences when they win?
Passing a law keeping abortion legal won’t help
I doubt they could pass a law in Congress that wouldn’t get killed by a Republican filibuster. Even if they did, the Supreme Court would strike it down. Nothing good will happen without turnover or expanding the court. I am not worried about polarization as a reason to not do something. Republicans don’t care about it. They don’t care about the reputation of the court. They only care about getting their way. I doubt the country could be more polarized than it is today. Democratic strategy (if there is one) and messaging has been poor. They are in reactive mode. DOJ should have said something BEFORE states passed restrictive laws.

What is the Western Kentucky University Mascot?
My favorite is Peter the Anteater from University of California – Irvine. I’ll post on him sometime.
What the hell is WKU mascot Big Red? Here’s everything we know
I didn’t know this about Peter Lorre
Peter Lorre was a great Austrian-Hungarian actor who starred in the 1931 German film M. He was Jewish and left Germany when Hitler took over.
He was a character actor, not a leading man. He had roles in American films such as The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca. He finished his career in low-budget Roger Corman horror films. I didn’t know the information in the tweet which explains the decline in his career.
Misleading tweet on abortion polls
The question should be how many people want a complete ban on abortion which is what the Alito draft proposes. Kerr’s tweet is very misleading because he includes people who want abortion but with restrictions. That’s not what’s being offered by Alito. Alito’s position has very little support. This is not a deep division.
More abortion polls
Most people do not agree with the extremist Alito draft position on abortion. Republican politicians haven’t gloated about the draft because they know it’s not popular. They are trying to distract us by focusing on the leak.
Sad!
