Graham objected to unanimous consent.

And he blocked the business of the Senate.

Any Senate Democrat could do this.
NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT

Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

I’m sorry he’s funny y’all. I understand that you can be too ontologically evil to be funny, but if you can move ontology to the periphery of your vision (which we / I do for very different reasons than his fans do — if we couldn’t laugh at massa we wouldn’t have made it — ) he is very funny!

There was six lines that were begging to leave this poem and had been begging to leave the poem for months and I just now realized it. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. I feel like I just made a quantum leap forward in actually finishing this poem. Wow.

A discussion about why Minnesota was so ready to reject ICE/CBP:

"Number one is the rigorous focus on agency-oriented organizing practice, a north star of building multiracial, democratic governing power. We have a majoritarian orientation — we want progressive and popular power."

This is insanity
Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history.
“There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.”

grok is elon musk correctly noting that chatbots were a new and poorly understood ideological battleground, the same way social media was at its inception, and attempting to seize the field for nazism, as he has also done with twitter

other facts about grok are unimportant. this is grok's primary purpose. other facts about grok are simply meant to convince people to use grok so that grok can promote ethnic resentments and conspiracies

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:

1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens

2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar

3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Ossoff: "They are building the libertarian, the conservatives' worst nightmare of a Leviathan federal government that is totally unaccountable that acts outside of the Constitution, and a society in which individual rights are not protected."
