On the Matter of the Killing of Renee Nicole Good, please know that I’m doing all that I can as fast as I can. I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from sharing their views, post whatever you want. But rest assured that it’s not necessary for anyone to push me to pursue justice.

The third point, too. Cassidy owns this shanda because he & his GOP Senate colleagues, Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski, were cowards.
Again, <10 people in Washington can end almost all of this today, & yet they are getting total free passes on a daily basis:

That last point. Cassidy really has enormous leverage if he wants to use it. He would win this fight. Worst case is he winds up losing a primary and spends his 70s (he's 68 now) as a hero to millions. He'll likely never have as much influence over anything again as he has over this right now.
ACIP may end universal Hep B vaccination today.
Hep B prevention is Cassidy's passion, as he made clear during RFK Jr's confirmation hearings.
But let's not forget... his vote to confirm RFK Jr. got us into this mess!
He needs to use every lever of power he has in the Senate to fix it.

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

Yesterday, Stephen Miller questioned details re 170+ Americans detained by immigration agents.
“Abject lies,” he wrote.
Here’s the thing: We tracked, catalogued, and compiled every one of those 170+ cases.
Because...we do our homework.

Mayor Johnson: There are those in this country that have decided, at the behest of this president, to declare war on Chicago and American cities across this country. They have clearly decided that they want a rematch of the Civil War. We will not submit to the authoritarianism that is coming down.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

at this point you have to acknowledge that there is no way that these guys don't try to mess with the 2026 midterms. there is absolutely no respect for the legitimacy of the opposition
Stephen Miller: "Eventually elections don’t carry the day because violence beats votes… When we see a muscular response from the federal government, it’s because we’re not going to let violence beat votes."
Is he implying federal intervention determines political legitimacy, not ballots or courts?
