I know some people think we're living under actual fascism, but a fascist party doesn't usually lose votes like this one (or even HAVE such votes) and certainly not one that goes 427-1 against the Dear Leader's wishes.
Go ahead and yell at me more, but these are positive things.

The House has defeated a GOP plan to censure Del. Stacey Plaskett D-VI and kick her off the House Intelligence Committee. 6 Republicans refused to go along with the plan - and those were the key votes.

This is "heads I win, tails you lose." Trump lost control of his own party on this. That's a big, big deal. He said "sure, vote for it," because he knew he was losing.
The Senate did it by UC so there wouldn't have to be a roll call. That's telling as well.

I'm waiting for Pam Bondi to state that there is an open investigation into Democrats possibly involved with Epstein. That might bring things to a screeching halt.

Does Trump really want the Epstein Files to become an even bigger deal? Is Trump underestimating how much Americans dislike wealthy pedophiles? Except for Higgins, not one Republican in Congress today wanted to have Epstein's name to be attached to their names and political careers.

I could be wrong, but I'm laying down the bet here that Trump doesn't try this. It'll explode what's left of the MAGA caucus, who want this to be over with.
And has it occurred to anyone that GOP electeds hate Trump? That they're not unhappy about this?

He tells them to rewrite it with fixes. That 1) takes time 2) allows for necessary redactions, which also takes time and 3) gets his name or whoever he is helping/extorting name redacted. His name doesn't need complete redactions, just on whatever specific thing he is worried about.

I've been out canvassing quite a lot in London lately. Labour's vote has absolutely evaporated.... it is quite extraordinary to go to places where Labour were on 50-60% of the vote at the last locals and find nobody, or virtually nobody, supporting them.

This from @stephenkb.bsky.social cuts to the heart of the matter. Does the government not understand how toxic this argument is? Do they think they can somehow weaponise it? The last governments at least had the merit not of making this kind of foul claim.

I think that events such as the November Uprising are unknown in many countries, even though they serve as a good example of a number of nationalities attempting together to resist Russian Imperialism and some characters from that period could capture imagination to this day.

The fact that it is (apparently) legal to do this to people is utterly disgusting.

As usual one can count on Estonians to do the right thing. And call a spade a spade.
Estonia stands with Poland and Donald Tusk, strongly condemning the sabotage on the Warsaw–Lublin railway, vital for supporting Ukraine.
Those behind hostile acts against EU and NATO members must be exposed. Our response must be united.
