This is why Johnson sent the Congress home during the Shutdown for 54 days, nearly 8 weeks, so the FBI would have time to redact Trumps name from the Epstein files.
What a joke !

Highly recommend you follow @silverpebble2.bsky.social for her beautiful, stress-relieving nature collage photos. They’re a welcome and soothing timeline cleanse.
If your brain’s super tired & you’re struggling but you have stuff to do so don’t have the option to hibernate then hi, me too. This photo’s for your brain-if you pause on it for a few moments it’s likely to dial down stress hormone & trigger dopamine release:a small mind hack 🐚

Not sufficiently reported: hero was a MUSLIM. 👏🏻 so let’s not go from denouncing vile antisemitism into any anti Muslim racism please.
Wow. Amid horrific news of a shooting at Bondi Beach, this looks like a truly astonishing act of courage.
Video, I believe recorded off of local TV, of a bystander disarming one of the two killers.

And yet his board gives him a TRILLION dollar bonus, was it?! (How much do the workers get????)
JUST IN: Tesla sales have dropped to a nearly 3-year LOW, despite launching cheaper models of its Model Y and Model 3 cars.

Great winter drink: Ok I’m sure I’m not the first to come up with this but I did think of it independently so I’m sharing it: Apple cider with a shot of bourbon, dash of your choice of bitters or squeeze of lemon optional.

These baby floofs had some GI distress —almost none of which made it to the litter box which is why they’re in rooms with easily sanitized floors—but they’re negative for all the bad things and have meds now. Enjoying the relief of being home.

Happy #Caturday from my fosters Pip and Squeak who have decreed I should not go out to do errands in the cold but stay here and be their bed

Asking for about 90 million sane and horrified Americans
Is there any way for a normal person to file UN charges for war crimes against a rogue president?

Honest Q, why not stay and be the one who stands up when orders are given and says NO??
Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

So why haven’t they removed Mike Johnson? Doesn’t solve much but surely that’s one way to express their dissatisfaction?!

“Are the legal scholars in the room with us?”

Another occasion for someone to say “Just a reminder that ‘I was just following orders’ was not deemed a legitimate defense at the Nuremberg trials”
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)

Any DECENT administration would say “good grief of course you must refuse illegal orders and we wouldn’t dream of issuing any!” So yeah—obv they’re mad anyone’s calling them out ahead of the illegal orders they absolutely plan….

Ohhh now I get it. ZM talked about construction, Dump got excited bc his lizard brain thinks he can get I on some real estate/building deals. As if ZM would be dumb enough…
Trump: He said some things that were very interesting and very interesting as to housing construction and he wants to see houses go up and apartments created. People would be shocked. I want to see the same thing.

Haven’t we all accidentally dismembered someone? My bad… srsly this is so astoundingly disrespectful and offensive….
So you mistakenly dismembered a journalist?

Wouldn’t be surprised altho it would require Dump to be ill enough he didn’t know he’s being called weak bc a narcissist cannot stand that— he’d go apeshit, bomb idk who—
Remember when Harvey Weinstein suddenly became frail and infirm in a desperate attempt to gain sympathy?
I wonder when Trump and MAGA make the pivot from "healthiest President to ever live" to "shame on you for harassing this frail senior citizen! Dems hate the elderly!!!"
I give it a week.
