Killed or maimed by a product? The Montana Legislature says, 'Good luck.'
For the benefit of big out-of-state manufacturers and insurers, the 2023 Montana Legislature turned its back on 50 years of established law and transferred the risk of injury or death from dangerous products onto the backs of Montana taxpayers.

You think a calculating, grandstanding Governor wouldn't also be extra cowardly, but then there is DeSantis. What a chump.
The headlines should read: Biden visits hurricane wracked Florida. Petulant DeSantis is a no-show.

How'd I miss this story: Pround Boy goes on run to avoid sentencing
The FBI is searching for a member of the Proud Boys who was scheduled to be sentenced in federal court in Washington on Friday but is now missing, according to court records and the US Attorneys Office for the District of Columbia.
Christopher Worrell, 52, was convicted in a bench trial on seven charges related to his actions during the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
The FBI has released a wanted poster for Worrell saying he violated conditions of release pending sentencing.
Worrell is wanted for violating conditions of release pending sentencing on federal charges related to the violence at the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021, the poster states. A federal arrest warrant was issued for Worrell in the United States District Court, District of Columbia, Washington, D.C., on August 15, 2023.

Hey Trumpy, What day are you going to turn yourself in? Friday the 25th is quickly approaching!

It's been about 20 minutes since the arraignment. Has Trumpy violated the conditions of release yet?
How about now?

Holy crap, an amazing portrait of a MAGAt family in all their evil, grifting stupidity.
The Untold Story of the Insular Texas Family That Invaded the U.S. Capitol
From inside the home, several German shepherds snarled and barked at the sound of strangers arriving on the doorstep. The house, on a quiet street of low-slung brick residences just outside the Panhandle town of Borger, was otherwise quiet. Its garage door had been left open, revealing an array of carpentry tools hung against the back wall. Nothing unusual distinguished the place, except that the windows were lined with black plastic garbage bags and one of the panes bore a two-word message scrawled in red and blue paint. It said: Trump Won.
The dogs became even more animated after the doorbell rang. Half a minute passed, then the door opened. Standing there, with a hand still on the knob, was a wiry man in his fifties, with close-cropped hair and a thatch of gray stubble on his chin. Hi! How are you? Tom Munn said. His smilesomewhat asymmetrical, owing to the absence of several front teethwas nervous but genial.
That members of the news media had shown up on his doorstep was perhaps surprising only because it had been several months since his family had done anything to warrant interest. This was January 8, 2022. The case of USA v. Munn et al., one of roughly nine hundred to result from the attack on the U.S. Capitol 367 days earlier, was moving slowly through the federal courts. Though it seemed likely that prosecutors would offer a plea deal by which the Munns could avoid lengthy jail time, nothing had yet materialized. Everyones kind of in a wait-and-see pattern, Munn said. I dont know how the system works, anyway. Its completely foreign to me.

rich friends of similar ideology to rest on luxury vacations?" - Michael Beschloss.

DeSantis - whenever he gets excited his head starts to bobble. That's his tell.
Whenever his head starts bobbling, he's doing some heavy duty prevarication.
Big time asshole, big time clown.
