Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.
Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.
He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Once this POS bill is signed into law, state legislators will have to figure out how do we generate billions of dollars in *recurring* revenue to keep people from losing their health coverage and losing their SNAP benefits at a time when they’re impounding billions of federal education dollars.

Your window opens NOW to make it happen, with some caveats: data will be collected on changes.

We need fewer career politicians beholden to legal precedents that the right is gleefully setting aflame and more trickster demons eager to take advantage of loopholes in these shoddily reasoned Supreme Court decisions
If so, it is time to start crafting some cool-ass laws. What a time to be a state legislator or an AG in a blue state. The Supreme Court just said you no longer have a boss. It's the last day of school, Democratic state majorities and AGs! Time to abuse some power.

So when do Blue states start banning firearms? And then start making every gun owner file an individual lawsuit seeking an individual injunction?
Or they can go through the class certification process which, let me tell you having done it myself in litigation, takes forever.
