After what happened to @padilla.senate.gov it is clear what you should be doing:

SAND IN THE GEARS!
1. Deny a Quorum…
2. Block Unanimous Consent…
3. Delay & Disrupt…
4. Blanket Opposition.

Cooperation is collaboration.

NO BUSINESS AS USUAL!!

The federal investigation into the death of convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was marred by significant lapses, experts told CBS News, including the failure by investigators to interview potential witnesses, properly preserve certain evidence and run basic forensic tests.

In cell where Jeffrey Epstein died, a scene of disarray that never underwent thorough inspection, experts said

Photos of Jeffrey Epstein's cell show a scene of disarray that never underwent a proper inspection, according to experts.

Once Stephen Miller let the proverbial plenary authority cat out of the bag, he knew immediately it would be difficult (or as some believe), impossible, to EVER put it back in.

He's finding his initial fear
to be truer than he could
have imagined.

I went ahead and did the starting work for someone who wants to chase this angle. Most right-wing influencers who participated in the "Antifa" roundtable at the White House yesterday have easily provable ties to TPUSA (8 of 12). The other four need a closer look I don't have time for right now.

"The FBI literally has all of the best tools … They have every tool you can imagine. And they used none of it as far as we can tell," forensic analyst Nick Barreiro said … How are there not way more people pointing out the absurdity of this?"

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
That's all erased now.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

This is delusional. You can't support a hospital on only an ER - they're not the profit center of a hospital! ERs take enormous charity care losses due to EMTALA and have to be cross-subsidized by more profitable service areas.

SCARBOROUGH: The Nebraska Rural Health Association says at least 6 rural hospitals would have to close bc of the big beautiful bill

FLOOD: Here's the deal: Some hospitals that are rural hospitals are going to eventually have to transition from being acute bed hospitals into being an ER model
