Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

As another alumn of the Duke Poli Sci department, this is also Miller doing what every insufferable douchebag in the international security seminars I took did: wildly misuse a term of art confidently. Only then, there was a professor to correct him.

The Post laid off seemingly the remaining of their liberal-leaning staff members on Opinion last Thursday, when some of them were observing Yom Kippur.

Question: Have you given any more thought to suspending habeas corpus?

Trump: Suspending who?

We told anyone who would listen that boiling learning down to a multiple-choice question assessment at the end of each year would lead to teaching to the test. That teachers would feel forced to teach test-taking strategies rather than teaching life strategies

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.”

… but what is plenary authority?

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

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.

Best as I can tell, "plenary authority" also describes the relationship Elon Musk has over Miller's wife.

Remember, a matador is a guy in sequins who moves out of the way after riling up the bull...and she DID say he was a "sexual matador." 🙃

[I'm joking, BTW. At least, I think I'm joking.]

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

I love how Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and #2 in line for the presidency, is always like, “What? News?! I never read or hear anything that happens in the world, anywhere. I’m totally offline. What even is ‘social media’? They play news all day on TV!? Wow! That’s a surprise!”

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

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.
