Read as, “Lucy with the football!”Just like Netanyahu! Don’t be surprised if, after the final hostages and/or remains are released, he finds a pretext to release the dogs of war to finish the job!

An up or down vote on extending the ACA subsidies, and I would add a separate up or down vote the same day to release the Epstein files.

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

I’m finding this new, more sensible version of Marjorie Taylor Greene very jarring and unsettling.

Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"

Rupert Murdoch’s flagship WSJ lines up with all other professional media in saying that what Trump and Noem claim is going on in Portland simply isn’t going on—protests are small, peaceful and forced on playful sarcasm rather than violence or threats of violence. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

What’s Really Going On in Portland, According to Police Reports

Protests outside an ICE facility were dwindling in size and at times ”low energy” in the days and weeks before President Trump called in troops, according to official law-enforcement logs.

Federal Public Defenders are one of the things that gives me hope.

This is in the case of Sydney Reid, who is facing trial bc cops tried to prevent her fr filming an arrest. Her FPD is moving to dismiss case bc cops didn't save a video of alleged assault

Third, the government takes pains to assign blame on the defense for not specifically
advising that the video it had repeatedly requested was not exculpatory. This position belies
reason. The defense advised the government that the video captured the incident in question.
Defense counsel had obviously not seen the video that was unavailable to it. Still, the request for
a video of the incident itself where a defendant is going to trial is obviously a request for potentially
exculpatory evidence. (Defense attorneys do not make a habit of asking prosecutors to find more
inculpatory evidence.) This point is buttressed by Ms. Reid’s repeated exculpatory statements on
the scene denying the alleged conduct. Hearing her repeated denials, the officers would have
known that any video of the incident was of interest to her.2

Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent letters to four of the nation's largest banks demanding information related to "more than $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions flagged by the banks tied to sex trafficking crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their co-conspirators."

@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became grown, I put away childish things. Then when I became a bit more grown, I rebought those same childish things from a vintage reseller and kinda don’t know how to feel about it
