They held House & Senate hearings about Secretary Austin's prostate & their were GOP demands for his resignation for not wanting to publicly announce he was having prostate surgery. Surely the fickle finger of fate that probed him should now be poking Secretary Violent Drunken Zipper Malfunction.

Man, I didn’t think there was a way for this story to get dumber but…
“DoD loaned the high-energy laser weapon to DHS, who promptly shot down some mylar balloons with it without telling anyone, resulting in the FAA closing airspace and disrupting air travel nationwide”

…sure did the trick

I love when the Olympic commentator is like "He/she is the best to ever do it. No one does this better than him/her." And then the next athlete does it better.

I called up one of the White House's "special government employees" involved in the Fulton County FBI raid.

I ended up on the phone for almost two hours hearing about the "deep state" "cabal," "Satanists," poison soda, and the "pure evil" of "gay pride." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

UPDATE/SCOOP:

An FBI affidavit used to seize 2020 election ballots from Georgia's Fulton County omitted key findings from state investigators that undercut many questions about wrongdoing, an @npr.org analysis finds.

Read the Secretary of State's office investigative reports:
The FBI seizure of Georgia 2020 election ballots relies on debunked claims
An FBI investigation of the 2020 election in Fulton County, Ga., was initiated by a lawyer who aided President Trump's unsuccessful efforts to overturn that election, an unsealed affidavit says.

OpenAI fired one of its top safety execs, on the grounds of sexual discrimination, after she voiced opposition to the controversial rollout of AI erotica in its ChatGPT product.

OpenAI told her the term was related to her sexual discrimination against a male colleague.

PASSED: the House just passed the resolution to end Trump's tariffs on Canada.

Not many crosses from Republicans, a lot of vulnerable incumbents took a dumb vote here to stick with Trump and GOP leadership. Goes to the Senate, which is likely to pass it.

Will share the vote sheet when I have it!

After defeating the rule last night which would have extended the provision that prevented House votes on Trump's tariffs for the past year, the House is now taking its first vote on a resolution to stop Trump's tariffs.

This first resolution targets the tariffs on Canada; others will follow later.

Congressional Republicans are going to deprive D.C. of $700 million in revenue and repeal a local program projected to reduce child poverty by 20 percent, solely to spite District residents and make us suffer. They’re also throwing our tax filing into utter chaos. This is a disaster.

Always depressing to me how the median attitude among most people is close to “metoo went too far” when the most powerful man in the world is a rapist, and countless rich successful sports star / celebrity rapists get good press every week.
I remember being surprised at how much MeToo took over the minds of certain folks, and I guess I just severely underestimated the number of older men who regarded nonstop predation of younger women as their birthright
Lawrence Krauss being endearing again: "good news btw is that woman on conciliation committee seems like a sweetie.. she is old…. not some young metoo bitch."
