Johnson saw what happened with Garland.

He saw the consequences to McConnell - that there weren't any.

Republicans are going to keep doing this stuff until there are consequences.

They are absolutely committed to re-making the nation into a dystopian nightmare for everyone but wealthy white men.
Good morning.

It's been 30 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.
It is.

Just not for the paper.
Is Buster Posey a Ted Lasso fan?
I started rooting for the Jays in '84 when they spent most of the year in second place behind that incredible team from Detroit. In '92 and in '93 I was in the Navy out to sea - missed both series.

Will be paying attention to this one.
We'll make it meaningful again.
Yeah, I think that's right - uh, one lawyer to another...
Clearly a parody post, not intended to be taken seriously, unclear, ambiguous, out of context...
Naw - he's stealing a lot more than that.
Nor will it work. Trump has blown up the world order, and there's no getting it back now.

All anyone can do is mitigate damage.
Guess he sees himself as the emperor.
Trump: "We have Darth Vader. You know Darth Vader, right? Darth Vader is a man who is sitting -- is that Darth? Stand up please. Does everybody know -- they call him Darth Vader, I call him a fine man. But he's cutting Democrat priorities and they're never gonna get them back."
Deus ex machina. Nobody did the shooting - it was divinely ordained by the fates.
Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.
Dropping Bonhoeffer on Nazis is on point.
all of these people would do well to learn something about “cheap” and “costly” grace. no one is saying that platner is irredeemable, but that some things are a bridge too far for someone seeking a public trust. if he feels truly contrite, he can work on himself and his community and try again.
Right now is time for the privileged to stand up. Everyone else should feel free to protect themselves and keep as safe as they can.

No shame in not getting sent to Uganda.
I think there's probably a lot of information there that might be useful to help ensure the cooperation of some very wealthy and powerful people.
Congrats, Tal. Hope it all goes well for ya.
Maybe, but three binturights make a bintuleft.

Must be virtual critters.
Seems kind of obvious when you say it out loud...
Following the money is very likely to lead you to the bad guy.
100% of the people in boats that get blown up are innocent.

In the republic, you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law following due process of the law.
"We know from Coast Guard statistics that about 25 percent of the time the Coast Guard boards a ship there are no drugs. So if our policy now is to blow up every ship we suspect or accuse of drug running, that would be a bizarre world in which 25 percent of the people might be innocent.”

Ya - the idea of burning brush gives me the heebie jeebies. I try to compost everything I possibly can.

On the one hand, building coalitions is a good--but it is not an absolute good. The big tent only works if we have people who don't compromise on human rights--including rights for people on the margins. That means rights for disabled people, racial/ethnic/religious minorities, and LGBTQ+.
Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.
