@warnock.senate.gov: "You know that it's a critical moment any time Raphael Warnock and Marjorie Taylor Greene are essentially saying the same thing. That doesn't happen often... She saw that the premiums of her own adult children will go up so much in 2026 that their healthcare is unaffordable."

what's shocking is how few people actually voted. Fairbanks, Alaska has a population of 31,732, admittedly small, but there were only 3336 voters.

in re: arrest of fire starter

the old place, X, is spreading misinformation about arrest of Rinderknecht, a white man. As @NYTimes reporter Kate Conger noted on @Bluesky, the X news summary shows a photo of a Black man.

so why do media, organizations, business etc still link only to X or FB?

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

I applaud anytime Dems confront the willful negligence of the despicable speaker and his corrupt House, but this is much ado without an outcome. Force him to swear in Grijalva, by having her show up outside his door every single day. With family in tow, if need be.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."
