So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Here is a gift link to the article about what Graham Platner said about Military Sexual Assault survivors, and the documentary about MST called The Invisible War. Full disclosure: I was in that film. wapo.st/3L086sy

Maine Senate candidate downplayed sexual assault concerns in deleted posts

Democrat Graham Platner disavowed the comments in an interview with The Washington Post, saying, “I don’t want people to judge me off the dumbest thing I said on the internet 12 years ago.”

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 22d

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 22d

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

ICYMI: Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats' bill that would reopen the government AND save health care for millions of Americans.

This is now the FIFTH time we've voted on this bill.

The Republican shutdown continues.

Apple and Google block apps that crowdsource ICE sightings. Some warn of chilling effects

Republicans need to come to the table and get serious about negotiating an end to the GOP shutdown.

The question every Republican needs to answer is: How long do you want to hold the American people hostage because YOU don't want to fix the GOP health care crisis?

BAIT AND SWITCH by @ellekeaton.com - a terrific combination of high-stakes plot and slow-burn romance in this intriguing tale of romantic suspense. #mmromance #romancelandia #queerbooksky

Bait and Switch (Subtle Deceptions #2) by Elle Keaton

Gabriel Karne is back. The plan? Lie low on Heartstone Island and wait for the dumpster fire that is his past life to burn itself out. So far, so good. Until it isn't. Gabriel has avoided Ranger Man for days, made a few important repairs to his sailboat, and put a dent in the stack of dime-store mysteries Elton loaned him.
