And then they need to take a break until the midterms, because, you know, the congresspeople need to not hold town halls and not interact with constituents. Then,c'mon, Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming, let's break through the New Year. Oh, and then our New Year break to catch up. Questions?
A couple days ago, Mike Johnson mocked Thomas Massie for suggesting House leadership could keep Congress out to avoid the new Epstein Files Transparency Act, calling the idea “stupid” and “nonsensical.” Now he has canceled the final two weeks of September.

We’re somewhere between General Esposito declaring underwear must be worn on the outside and Dr. Evil’s father claiming he invented the question mark.
Holy shit — the purpose of this Trump event is to announce that he’s changing the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” It will be interesting to see which if any institutions and companies go along with this
Funny....not.... how the government announced the additional 2 dead US soldiers, (total 4 for the weekend) after the FIFA World Cup Final had begun. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...

Just a nice authoritarian town hall with the press labeled "moderate" #MikeLawler in an affluent Westchester County, New York, having the State Troopers remove this senior citizen constituent. Imagine if he wasn't moderate.
🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

@stealthygeek.bsky.social: “Democrats should be running daily press briefings from a shadow White House pool of the legitimate news agencies which have been locked out by the Trump coup. Their audiences will get real news, Dems will regain some messaging control. Why is this not already happening?”
