You now need a Real ID to board a plane. But fortunately for House Republicans, you still don’t need one to transport a minor across state lines.

Those six Democratic lawmakers who were military veterans and made a video urging officers, soldiers and sailors to refuse an illegal order seem somewhat more purposed and insightful now that we learn our military returned to fucking strafe civilian survivors to death after blowing apart their boat

FBI documents show the agency spent more than $850,000 on overtime pay for agents tasked with processing and redacting Epstein-related files. Here's how we confirmed the records are authentic:
FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime to redact Epstein files, documents show

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

The boycott was a powerful example of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience. It crippled the city’s bus system financially and drew national attention to the injustices of segregation. Rosa Parks became known as the “mother of the freedom movement” and the “first lady of civil rights.” /end

In 1956, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional, and the Montgomery Improvement Association, which had organized an extensive carpool system, called for an end to the boycott on Dec. 20, 1956. The bus system was officially integrated the next day. /5
