I suppose we will find out. But it seems reasonable to assume that they wouldn’t have been panicking and keeping the government shut down if there were truly nothing left to see.

I don’t understand why she hasn’t asked a federal judge to swear her in. Isn’t that the law, that she doesn’t have to be sworn in by the Speaker?

Yes, I’d guess that’s part of why he drew a short straw and had to be a public face. I’d guess those very unconvincing 8 were given their orders so some, like Schumer, could still vote no.
2 of the 8 are retiring & won’t have to face the voters judgement for their cowardice.
But six of them will.

Not certain about that, things committed to digital files are harder to eradicate than paper copies.
And there are a goodly number of survivors who would like a word.

My sympathies, I am so sorry

Yes. The eight that stood on the podium and took the hit probably drew the short straws. Not surprised by Fetterman, Durbin and King, they’re owned by donors. I thought Shaheen was better than this.
But:
Schumer just made AOC a senator
The House now has to return to work

He can veto them

Newsome can tell the feds to fuck off, provided he hasn’t been co-opted

Yes, the governor should take action to have the California National Guard remove Ice from the city
June 8, 2025 at 2:24 AM
That’s right, Governor. So tell them to fuck off.
June 8, 2025 at 2:22 AM
If the new version of Newsome hasn’t completely capitulated, he can just tell Trump to fuck off
June 8, 2025 at 2:20 AM
Yes! Thank you, Kat!

Damn it, Janet- who can I turn to?

Like something right happened.

I wish. It’s an interminable process to disbar anyone, especially someone in a position of power… lawyers really seem to suck at self-policing.

I find the last two items entirely reasonable. Lmk if you manage to find a reliable Time Machine, I want to go back and buy some real estate here in LA right after WW2
April 26, 2025 at 6:46 PM
Yes.
It does happen, just not at times when it’s needed. I was going to go hiking today but…

I would have preferred they simply enforced their “no felons” policy

Ha! I’m on the lot working on Euphoria

That’s something intangible but so very real that these people will never get back.

It’s good, isn’t it? Good writing
