This should make a big difference:The country trio, which consists of Natalie Maines, Emily Strayer and Martie Maguire, changed its social media handles, but didn’t put out an official statement. Representatives for the band confirmed the new name to the New York Times.

Their official website, thechicks.com, has a message across the top that reads: "We want to meet this moment."

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/25/politics/trump-tulsa-rally-coronavirus/index.html

Multiple Trump campaign staffers are quarantining, following Tulsa, just as dozens of Secret Service agents are.

Apparently, the agents were warned in advance of the event that they would be doing so. The staffers not so much.

Time to go maskless to New Jersey!

Or, as Kid says, "Let's go!"

The Supreme Court on Thursday gave a victory to the Trump administration on the president's signature issue of immigration, ruling that some people seeking asylum in the U.S. can be deported without additional court hearings.

In a 7-2 vote, the court said people who fail to make a valid case for asylum in their initial screenings, by credibly claiming that they fear persecution at home, can be fast-tracked for deportation and cannot challenge that decision in federal court.

I watched that, incredulous at the stupidity pouring out of those people's mouths. Even without the woman whose quote you've captured, it's just so hard to believe.

And yet, it just isn't. Bambi and Kid and Ward represent that same degree of incisive thinking so well so regularly.

Not exactly. Look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tldGgGFe194 Gump is quoting his mother as a kid, but as he gets older, he just says it.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/25/politics/donald-trump-coronavirus-downplaying/index.html

We are in Day 156 of the coronavirus' being totally under control.

Jan. 22: "We have it totally under control," Trump said. "It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's going to be just fine."

I remain so relieved.

Quote
"It's going away," Trump said of the coronavirus during a speech to a conservative students group in Arizona on Wednesday. (On Tuesday, Arizona reported more than 3,600 cases of Covid-19, the highest single day total since the start of the pandemic.)

A week ago, in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Trump said this of the virus: "I don't even like to talk about that, because it's fading away. It's going to fade away."

On June 16, Trump was asked about progress on a vaccine and said, "I always say, even without it, it goes away."

That he stops telling people she said it doesn't change that he's just parroting her. Had she never said he, he would never have said it.

And some consider "chick" sexist,  so they could have gone all out and changed the band's name to "The. "
