Barry Manilow, Marines, and the Supreme Court



Senate Democrats are pushing ahead with a resolution that would circumvent Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville's blockade on confirming military nominees.


With hundreds soon potentially able to call themselves marines, Tuberville has been granted a title of his own — "little bitch."

Barry Manilow says that the State Farm jingle he wrote is his "greatest hit" despite only receiving $500 for it.


So basically, he made State Farm billions of dollars over decades and he has the deductible for a six inch scratch completely covered one time.

Hundreds of Civil War relics were uncovered during the cleanup of a South Carolina river, including a sword blade, a wagon wheel, and cannonballs.


Tools rotting away at the bottom of a river, only to be unearthed 150 years later covered in thick tar? Sounds a lot like the Confederacy.

----------------------

Sen. Markwayne Mullin threatened to fight the president of the Teamsters Union, prompting Bernie Sanders to say "Sit down! You're a United States senator — sit down."


Bernie's right. If there's one word to describe the work of the senate, it's "sit."

----------------------

An independent accounting firm says Donald Trump's Truth Social platform is likely to shutter, having lost $73 million since its launch last year.


That sucks for him, but it is still one of the most successful businesses he's ever started.

---------------------

The U.S. Supreme Court unveiled a code of conduct yesterday to address what was referred to as a "misunderstanding" about ethics.


However, the code doesn't include any means of enforcement, meaning it's about as flimsy as the rights of millions of Americans.
