given the source this reads to me like a warning shot for the moment, but also, I took so much crap on this website for saying that the House GOP was cracking and it wasn’t all Epstein files bill haha
☀️TOP in @punchbowlnews.bsky.social AM: MTG announced the end of her House career Friday night in a manifesto, of sorts, that was stinging for House Republicans. Why? Because the message rang true to so many in the House GOP.

What MTG got right

there is some amazing internet lore in this thread
Hell, even in the last few years before Usenet functionally died outside of moderated newsgroups (and by "last few years before Usenet died" I mean "shortly after Cantor & Siegel's green-card spam in 1994/Sanford Wallace era") even spam moderation was becoming largely automated (cancelbots)

I really have to not let myself think days like this (when I also chit chatted with a congressman amongst other things) are just …routine
not me sitting with relatives of the Gershwins and Johnny Cash watching the acting librarian of Congress cry at Roberto Diaz playing a Stradivarius viola

this is where I have to admit that out in the wild, I’ve been charmed by both Susan Collins and John Curtis. In the interest of full disclosure
also on my list of senators who seem pretty cool when they aren’t on camera (which is so for real that it does include Republicans), Kelly is near the top. Others will go to the mat for him I think

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

This is…brilliant.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
