Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted on X: The Republican controlled Senate used the nuclear option today to override the 60 vote rule in order to confirm over 100 Trump nominees, yet continues to claim Democrats are causing the shutdown.

Spoiler alert, the Republicans in the Senate can also use the nuclear option to reopen the government and override the Democrats just like they literally did today to confirm Trump nominees.

In case you need a hint about what the Benny Hill nonsense in Portland is supposed to be distracting from:

A judge in South Carolina told the Trump administration they couldn't have the state's voter data.

THEY BLEW UP HER HOUSE.

The year is 2003.

17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."

Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

1. True.
2. And the institution explicitly set up to encourage this snitching on their fellow citizens (specifically, their teacher) is called Professor Watchlist.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

My nurse practitioner does them anyway because ovarian cancer risk does indeed increase with age. One of my Washington state friends had her cancer found for same reason. Her Gyn cited statistics and said we don’t want to miss anyone!

Dr and surgeon also wanted CAT scan which was initially denied but within days of the sonogram was approved. The day after surgeon saw me I had surgery. Ovarian cancer is called silent killer for a reason. Get your yearly screenings. (Th end)

There was nothing to indicate a tumor at previous year screening. So I shudder to think how invasive it could have become had I skipped this year’s exam. BTW my insurance initially denied the sonogram.It took about 3 weeks between first exam and getting sonogram! (4)

I’m a slender body weight and still a tumor that size was not detectable by myself! They also did a pelvic internal sonogram which verified what Dr found on physical exam. It also detected small tumor in uterus. Thus I received a 2A cancer stage. (2)

They do a pelvic exam : this includes internal while palpating exterior of pelvis. I had a grapefruit sized ovarian tumor that was only detected this way. Once the mass was felt my Dr ordered a CA 125 blood test. This detects tumor markers in blood. (1)

So the out of state owner of the neighboring ranch donated $25K to Brad's campaign and then Brad voted to break the local rancher's lease and sell the property.

Idaho preparing to sell 160 acres of state-owned endowment land near the Tetons • Idaho Capital Sun

Idaho rancher Nick Beard said his family has relied on that grazing land for 30 years and hoped his children would inherit the lease one day.

I’m posting my pics of my chemo hair journey in hopes it reminds people to get their yearly screenings.Mine saved my life as I had zero symptoms of ovarian cancer. BTW Pap test is for cervical cancer it does not identify ovarian cancer! #cancer #chemohair #ovariancancer
