Sen. SCHIFF: Senator Durbin asked a very appropriate oversight question, and Pam Bondi’s response was to attack his character and insult him. Senator Whitehouse did the same with a perfectly legitimate oversight question, and Pam Bondi attacked him personally. Others, too.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

The certificate of election is official.
She is legally entitled to be seated now. If Speaker Mike Johnson refuses, Arizona’s AG can sue and likely win. The Supreme Court already ruled Congress can’t block a duly elected member.

This cranks up the pressure on Johnson. Now, he must swear her in.

If he doesn’t, Kris Mayes will file suit in D.C.

This isn’t symbolic. It is constitutional.
If Johnson refuses to seat her, the courts will.

Mayes warned that if Johnson continues to delay, it will “prompt legal action.”

All my loneliness I have felt today
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away

And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone

Let me be the one, your future and your past
To hold you like I did
And love you like before
You stand there all ALONE
Crying out for more
Let me be the first
Let me be the last
Let me be the one to love you

...
Only tragedy allows the release
Of love and grief never normally seen
I didn't want to let them see me weep
I didn't want to let them see me weak
But I know I have shown
That I stand at the gates alone

I needed you
To love me too

Name another song that mentions the word "Alone." 🎶
Written for the 1944 musical film Follow the Boys, with music by Jule Styne & lyrics by Sammy Cahn, the single "I'll Walk Alone" was recorded by Dinah Shore in April 1944. Released in May, the song became her first #1 hit on October 14, 1944.

Julie With... -Brian Eno

~
No wind disturbs our colored sail
The radio is silent, so are we
Julie's head is on her arm
Her fingers brush the surface of the sea

Now I wonder if
We'll be seen
Here
Or if time has left us
All ALONE

The still sea
Is darker
Than before
