And just days before voting begins, Gov Landry is planning to suspend the primary entirely.
Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) tells @macfarlanenews.bsky.social the lawyers who filed the Comey case should be sanctioned.
Ivey: I think the lawyers who are pushing these kinds of cases really should be held accountable.
KELLY: This is a mile away from a school. This thing is spewing out 12 tons of lead every single year. Can I commitment from you to fix this?
ZELDIN: I receive and transmit
KELLY: But your job is to look out for the health of the American people
ZELDIN: Just following the statute

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:
“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.”

Q: In Texas, a Democrat won a special election in an area you won by 17 points. Your reaction?
TRUMP: I don't know. I didn't hear about it. Somebody ran -- where?
Q: In Texas
TRUMP: I'm not involved. You mean I won by 17, and this person lost? Things like that happen. I'm not on the ballot
Witness told FBI Trump threatened to ‘disappear’ girl and have her ‘whole family killed’ www.rawstory.com/trump-epstei...

Congress where are you? He has the nuclear codes...
Hello? Hello?
The increasing number of billionaires in every new release of the Epstein files are another reminder that billionaires shouldn't exist because they're immoral, exploitative hoarders and the world would be better if we abolished every one of them.
Billionaires: the only minority destroying humanity.
Make no mistake. Even though Mandelson is being scrutinised over loans & govt leaks rather than allegations of child abuse - anyone who helped prop-up Epstein and bolster his reputation by association - is complicit in that international cabal of pedophiles. Don’t lose sight of the victims!
University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.
I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

I have spoken with several senior FBI counterintelligence officers who believe that there is a reasonably strong prospect that Tulsi Gabbard is a foreign intelligence asset.
To survivors of Epstein’s network: it is clear you were lied to, minimized, and forced to carry what the system wouldn’t.
I’ve opened a tip line via signal for survivors. You choose how much you share. You can start with one sentence. Amberspeaks.47
It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

Our voices do not matter the way we are told they do when corporations can spend billions to influence policy.
That is not free speech.
That is pay to play.
Until corporate lobbying is meaningfully restricted, the system will always serve donors first.

ICE descends on Maine. "[Gov. Janet] Mills said, ‘Look, Maine knows what good law enforcement looks like because our law enforcement are held to high professional standards.... they don’t wear a mask..., and they don’t arrest people in order to fill a quota.’” abcnews.go.com/US/dhs-launc...
Advice to share from my plumber dad: If it gets below 20F or so, and you have power, keep faucets dripping and open all kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
If you lose power and heat, shut off your main water supply and open all of your facets/flush toilets to drain the pipes.
It's incredible how effective transphobia is as a litmus test for SO many issues. Every time I find a new pro-surveillance tech stooge, they're transphobic. I think people need to understand how tightly the belief that the internet is turning everyone trans is bound up w mass surveillance efforts
