Dang this is intense.

But also this time with alt text.
Pelosi Statement on the Government Funding Bill in the Senate San Francisco - Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement on the government funding bill under consideration in the Senate: "Donald Trump and Elon Musk have offered the Congress a false choice between a government shutdown or a blank check that makes a devastating assault on the well-being of working families across America. Let's be clear: neither is a good option for the American people. But this false choice that some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable. | salute Leader Hakeem Jeffries for his courageous rejection of this false choice, and I am proud of my colleagues in the House Democratic Caucus for their overwhelming vote against this bill. "Democratic senators should listen to the women. Appropriations leaders Rosa DeLauro and Patty Murray have eloquently presented the case that we must have a better choice: a four-week funding extension to keep government open and negotiate a bipartisan agreement. America has experienced a Trump shutdown before - but this damaging legislation only makes matters worse. Democrats must not buy into this false choice. We must fight back for a better way. Listen to the women, For The People."

Today is a very interesting day to confirm that dismissal of a federal criminal case pre-trial is only with leave of court. h/t @davekronig.bsky.social
Text that reads: “Rule 48. Dismissal. (a) By the Government. The government may, with leave of court, dismiss an indictment, information, or complaint. The government may not dismiss the prosecution during trial without the defendant's consent.”
