WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas:
"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

Now the strategy on Johnsons part. Virginia Congressional District 7 special election takes place on Dec 2nd in a Trump +10 district. If that holds Republican, Johnson can swear in the new GOP member on Dec 3rd thus securing the additional vote to keep the files hidden from public.

I'm just finding out that Bluesky is a moderation mess. One of the best writers I know, Sarah Kendzior, has been banned, initially with no explanation.
Finally, she got one. Basically it was over an article she wrote about Johnny Cash. By quoting from his Folsom Prison song, they took it to mean..

Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about.
What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars.
We're paying for the torture of children.
I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

It’s being reported that as many as 10 Democrats may back multiple short-term funding extensions into January 2026. That would mean the last 40+ days were wasted and would hand the GOP a serious narrative win. What are we doing?

This is so discouraging. I had forgotten about this inscription.
On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

If you live in a state with a large rural population, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider investigating which areas in your region are food deserts & consider possibly giving to food banks that serve them. Rural food deserts are going to be the regions worst hit by the SNAP cutoff. Absolutely devastating.
