He doesn't really seem too worried getting the Epstein files released either, so much so that congressional repubs are getting a few weeks off, sitting on their asses collecting 6 digit fucking paychecks...which I might add are not in danger of not getting paid. This country has gone to hell!🤬

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

JUST IN: A federal judge in San Francisco has HALTED Trump’s plan to lay off thousands of federal workers during his shutdown, calling it “unlawful” and “politically motivated.” Judge Illston said Trump acted as if “the laws don’t apply to them anymore.”

With all due respects...you're wrong!

I disagree, the Republicans have been waiting for an opportunity like this for at least the last fifteen years, Trump wanted to do this his last term but didn't have the yes men in place to pull it off!

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

The UK must prepare for a 2C rise in global temperatures by 2050, according to new analysis from the Climate Change Committee (CCC), commissioned by the government.
The report forecasts that risks from heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires could double over the next 25 years, with some peak river flows increasing by as much as 40%.

The Times:

Reform vow to fight 'crazy Miliband over solar farm

Miliband has approved plans for Britain's biggest solar farm, prompting Reform UK to say it would fight to reverse the decision.
The Tillbridge Solar project, in Lin-colnshire, would cover an area equivalent to about 2,000 football pitches.
Farage's party said the scheme would destroy valuable agricultural land, but Labour said it was needed to meet green energy targets and reduce dependency on energy from abroad.
Tillbridge Solar is the tenth large solar project Miliband has approved since taking office. Half of them are in Lin-colnshire, prompting opposition from local Reform and Conservative MPs.
Tillbridge Solar aims to generate electricity for 300,000 homes and the scheme would cover about 1,400 hectares of mainly agricultural land
Michael Shanks, the energy minister, said: "Solar is one of the cheapest and quickest power sources we can build. It is crucial in our mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower, giving us energy security, good jobs and growth across the country."

A report by the Planning Inspectorate said that the project would lead to the loss of about 1,200 hectares of farm-land, including 11l hectares of the highest grade land, and acknowledged the cumulative impact of other solar arrays in Lincolnshire. However, it concluded that this would not be nationally "significant" , with solar taking over less
than 1% of UK farmland.
It added that the biodiversity would benefit from the end of intensive farming on the land and that crop planting
"could be restored should it be needed in the future" for food security.
In a blunt warning to companies behind the schemes, Richard Tice, Reform UK's deputy leader and the MP for nearby Boston & Skegness, said: "We will do all we can to stop investors and developers; nothing is off the table."

The root of this federal agents rampaging through the city like an army lies in the Republican mantra of law and order that is all about results and no procedure.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

Republican legislators seem to value loyalty to one person over duty to the country.

Just Jack @just-jack-1.bsky.social · 2d

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.
