Wow — Harvard Crimson student newspaper busts Hegseth for having written a long policy brief touting diversity before he joined Trump’s war on DEI.

With receipts. Bravo, Crimson.

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.

Yes, fighting back matters! Help win November elections, join No Kings Day on 10/18, donate, educate people...

Popehat Agitates And Irritates @kenwhite.bsky.social · 11d

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning.

This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

Fighting for Democracy Everyday @rhopper03.bsky.social · 12d

Don’t let them lie to you!

Republicans controls the House, Senate, and White House.

If the government shuts down, it's because Republicans and Trump chose to shut it down rather than pass a budget which destroys access to healthcare for millions of people.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Senate Dems released a report today about DODGE & its attempt destroy Social Security and this is precisely what they should do. However though I have seen some coverage of this, I doubt the public will really take this in given everything else happening.

“Turning the National Guard into immigration police dishonors their oath and corrupts their mission.”

During last week’s shadow hearing led by @jayapal.house.gov, Janessa Goldbeck warned: misusing soldiers this way erodes readiness, wastes taxpayer dollars, and endangers our freedom.

GREAT question @hoosleft.us, great question! 🤩

Scott Aaron Rogers @hoosleft.us · 13d

@BlythePotterIN and I talk a lot about how Indiana's leaders could make it easier and more convenient for us to vote, but what about the candidate side of the equation? How could we make it easier for Hoosiers to RUN for office?
