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.

the US border goes across the middle of the Great Lakes, except for Lake Michigan, which is entirely within the US border. Chicago is at least 470 miles from the US border, well outside the 100 mile border zone.

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Did you know that recent model iPhone Pros have a LiDAR sensor? You can use it to measure distances, and scientists in Spain used it to recreate a digital version of a cave filled with ancient cave art. 🧪 #scicomm www.forbes.com/sites/evaams...

WE WILL RUN OUT OF FOOD.

The fact we aren’t using this precious & precarious moment to rebuild our food system around need & not profit - changing what we eat, how we produce food & how we transport it - will prove our gravest & most suicidal mistake.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Why start every quote with his bullshit half-assed gesture toward justifying this? Just go right to “Donald Trump illegally sent troops to zip tie 5-year-old US citizens and shoot clergy in the face with chemical weapons.”

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Then send in the Illinois National Guard to fucking stop them. The Texas NG who were sent there clearly have no qualms about following illegal orders because there are no consequences. Make it so they know there will 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."

Trump’s stupids have justified Border Patrol participation in the ethnic cleansing of Chicago by claiming the border has been retracted to the shore of Lake Michigan. So basically Trump threatened to annex Canada and then turned around and gives them all of Lake Michigan instead.That tracks.

These Supreme Court oral arguments on conversion therapy are going to be painful. No matter what is said, know that trying to force someone to be what they're not is psychological torture with measurable negative consequences, and anyone trying to defend such efforts is a bigoted monster.
