He's already not whipping against it, rules committee Rs told him they won't do anything to block it, and expectation is potentially dozens will vote for it, because why not at that point.

Johnson isn't moving the vote up in hopes of stopping it, he's trying to do it before they get to two thirds.

There's a nonzero chance someone on here sees an absolutely out of this world batshit headline from one of those Russian propaganda mill sites that says something like 'leftist Latina trans Venezuelan double-agent used US government' s own AI technology to fake portion of Epstein files'

Bluesky says it suspended author Sarah Kendzior because she was "expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article."

But there's more to the story:

A user was banned for making a Johnny Cash reference. Where's the dividing line between serious threat and jokey pop culture reference?

people gotta lose their positions of power and influence

people gotta be shunned from their prestigious social circles

above all, people gotta go to jail

POTUS gave a convicted child sex abuser favorable treatment, and dangled the prospect of a pardon, so she would tell lies about if he was implicated in her crimes. That's not speculative or circumstantial, it's a cold hard proven fact, in and of itself more than enough to demand removal from office.
Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

I'm sure this leak is just a coincidence as Grijalva is finally about to be seated

The GOP is an organized crime syndicate that's allowed to not just try and steal elections without real consequences but also to- when caught & legally investigated- push policy to literally steal our money right in front of our faces

Obscene, enraging, corrupt
Amendment which strikes section which “allows senators who were legally subpoenaed during the January 6 criminal conspiracy investigation to get millions of dollars deposited into their bank accounts at taxpayer expense” voted down by Republicans

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.

They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.

They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

An operational failure, a legal failure, a political failure, and a bunch of bitches who don't want to stand in 10 degree weather in a couple weeks is what I'm gathering here

Gotta go find a blank urban canvas for their hate and racism to get them social media assets

On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers

He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command."

Just...there *must* be people- even some of the certifiable crazies- who are just kinda tired with all of this, no?

Like how can you run on this kind of hate fuel for a decade, two, more and not succumb to some level of fatigue or catching on or resentment of the grievance machine altogether?

Hi, this is me. 70% of my reliable teaching income next year will be eaten up by my health insurance, which I need because I'm chronically ill.
I hope those 8 dems who voted yes never have a moment's peace.
