Utah Legislators are having a hissy fit over having to follow the law and Utah’s own constitution
This is what happens when a legislature’s legal brief is FoxNews horseshit

By ignoring massive corruption by the fossil fuel industry, and massive wrongful subsidy of fossil fuel by allowing “pollute-for-free” business model, Gates gave aid and comfort to the deniers: “Bill Gates says innovation is going to solve this,” I often heard.

DOJ estimates Epstein trafficked at least 200 children.
And, experts estimate ~2600 minors were forced into a child marriage in the United States in 2025—a trend expected to continue in 2026.
Here’s how bad the situation is, and what we can do to stop it.

Dumb to begin with, but that retroactive bit is hideously stupid.
“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

If Democrats release files showing that Trump was complicit in Epstein's pedophilia, and Trump tries to distract from it by starting a war with Nigeria or Venezuela, then Democrats will have blood on their hands.

He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.
Anyway, for what its worth...

To be clear, this deal still needs to go through a debate and amendment process and more 60-vote thresholds to pass the Senate, and then it must pass the House. There's still room for constituent pressure.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

🧵Look at this man. Look at his face.
This is now the face of America.
He ran to the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago yesterday, searching for his wife of five years.
They were following the legal process, showing up for her court case, when ICE took her to another room and disappeared her.
