@bgrueskin.bsky.socialBrooks for some reason seems to have it in for Ossoff.
Perhaps because the Georgia senator doesn't traffic in both-sides claptrap, which has been Brooks' calling card for most or all of his career.
@bgrueskin.bsky.socialC’mon! How do you expect the man to pay for his overdue, 6-year-old cookie bill?
@bgrueskin.bsky.socialThis tracks. I noticed a number of grocery items -- whose prices had held steady for months -- suddenly 10-20% higher this week. Seems like the spike in diesel prices is giving retailers the opening to finally raise prices that they had been holding pretty steady for weeks.

He speaks eloquently for himself here.
@bgrueskin.bsky.socialNot sure what an “energy ceasefire” is … but it’s probably something like, “Ukraine must stop bombing refineries and Russia can keep bombing apartment buildings.”
@bgrueskin.bsky.socialthat was my first thought. like, he was facing a jury
@bgrueskin.bsky.socialWhoever recruited this guy to run for Senate, take a bow.

@bgrueskin.bsky.socialSmall sample size, or maybe it's just the power of suggestion -- but this weekend's grocery tab was markedly higher. And a lot of the cheap, store-brand versions of stuff, from olives to cream cheese, were sold out. The spike in diesel prices might be filtering into everyday purchases very strongly
@bgrueskin.bsky.socialWhen I saw that Hillary ad in 2016, I figured, no way Trump can survive this. It was as or more blistering than the Hollywood Access tape. Which just proves that no one knows anything
@bgrueskin.bsky.socialI’d bet more people will be upset that they ripped off “Holly’s Sweet Treats” which serves everything from “fresh-baked Bierocks to Mom’s Magical BBQ Meatballs” than the patients he took to court over medical debts. www.hsthutch.com
@bgrueskin.bsky.social@bgrueskin.bsky.socialNyt had a zillion photos to choose from to illustrate the story of Sen. Marshall’s campaign not paying a cookie debt to a small Kansas bakery. And they chose the one of a guy who looks like he just got caught stealing a cookie from a small Kansas bakery.
@bgrueskin.bsky.socialHere’s the predicate for Cookiegate… the baker’s FB post that started Sen. Marshall’s latest fiasco: “For nearly a year, I made repeated attempts to collect payment, reaching out by phone and email. I never received a return phone call, and the invoice was never paid.”
@bgrueskin.bsky.socialTime for a new postage stamp with a slightly revised slogan
@bgrueskin.bsky.social@bgrueskin.bsky.social“Witkoff and Kushner raised the possibility that intelligence sharing could be cut off if Kyiv did not heed Washington’s warning to halt the strikes” on Russian refineries. “It was a firm request from POTUS. “Hours later, Ukrainian forces struck the Yug Rusi oil terminal in Rostov-on-Don.”
@bgrueskin.bsky.socialCan’t believe the cookie company didn’t sue him to oblivion
@bgrueskin.bsky.social“A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Athens said that the ambassador’s ‘career in and out of public service is guided by deep and abiding values’ and that she had ‘faithfully followed State Department ethics and gift reporting guidelines.’l
@bgrueskin.bsky.socialIt is ZERO days since a prominent Republican was caught saying something deeply embarrassing on a just-revealed audio recording.
