Breaking news: After a 50-day delay, Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Arizona) was finally sworn in by House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Her seat gives Democrats the numbers to push a petition forcing a vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein case files.

I had thoughts on the Louvre heist getaway that 1) would have worked, and 2) would have been very fun.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

I don't think folks have any conception of how radicalized a lot of moms are becoming as they go through shit like "will my babysitter get kidnapped" and "will my child be able to get the measles vaccine"
every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"
