Attention Bluesky elders: The artist behind the ANIMORPHS covers is here!
I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here:

An excellent point from Larry — this bill marks the first time in *a decade and a half* that we've seen Republicans vote "for" the ACA in any substantive sense
Things have shifted quite a bit from when the ACA originally passed with no Republican votes, as did the enhanced premium subsidies.
These are the 17 House Republicans who voted with all Democrats to resurrect ACA funds for 3 years:
Bresnahan
Carey
De La Cruz
Fitzpatrick
Garbarino
Hurd (CO)
Joyce (OH)
Kean
LaLota
Lawler
Mackenzie
Miller (OH)
Nunn (IA)

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Note: This move not only cuts out state access, but it undermines one of the most concrete changes that came out of George Floyd's killing here in Minneapolis in 2020, which is the BCA Force Investigations Unit, created to restore trust in investigations when law enforcement kills civilians.

To be clear, the federal government can't *stop* local and state authorities from conducting their own investigation. They can just make it a lot more difficult by denying access to evidence, witnesses, etc.

This is *definitely* how you behave when you're trying to bring every resource to bear, rather than trying to cover up the unlawful behavior of your own personnel.
According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.
