Vote still open, but there is one "No" vote on the Epstein bill... from a Democrat.

Republicans will make so much hay of that one "No" vote if it stands.

Must-read. This passage, especially:
Paragraph from the article in the quoted post that says: "Yet the veterans I have known offer a different example. They learn that our nation’s strength is the trust we build in small, unglamorous ways. That trust is garnered by telling the truth, even when it hurts. That it is right to stand strong by the people you serve with—even when no one is watching. That there is a sense of pride in showing up for your community—not because it benefits you, but because it is required for a healthy society."

While the "Know-Nothing" party didn't really "Know nothing," they were a party of nativism and conspiracy theories. They tried to claim to be the party of the "working man" and used zero-sum anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Sound familiar?

Screenshot of an article headline and lede: How the 19th-Century Know Nothing Party Reshaped American Politics From xenophobia to conspiracy theories, the Know Nothing party launched a nativist movement whose effects are still felt today Lorraine Boissoneault Lorraine Boissoneault January 26, 2017 Get our newsletter! CWBWMA.jpg Anti-immigrant cartoon showing two men labeled "Irish Wiskey" and "Lager Bier," carrying a ballot box. Everett Collection Historical / Alamy Stock Photo Like Fight Club, there were rules about joining the secret society known as the Order of the Star Spangled Banner (OSSB). An initiation rite called “Seeing Sam.” The memorization of passwords and hand signs. A solemn pledge never to betray the order. A pureblooded pedigree of Protestant Anglo-Saxon stock and the rejection of all Catholics. And above all, members of the secret society weren’t allowed to talk about the secret society. If asked anything by outsiders, they would respond with, “I know nothing.” So went the rules of this secret fraternity that rose to prominence in 1853 and transformed into the powerful political party known as the Know Nothings. At its height in the 1850s, the Know Nothing party, originally called the American Party, included more than 100 elected congressmen, eight governors, a controlling share of half-a-dozen state legislatures from Massachusetts to California, and thousands of local politicians. Party members supported deportation of foreign beggars and criminals; a 21-year naturalization period for immigrants; mandatory Bible reading in schools; and the elimination of all Catholics from public office. They wanted to restore their vision of what America should look like with temperance, Protestantism, self-reliance, with American nationality and work ethic enshrined as the nation's highest values. Know Nothings were the American political system’s first major third party. Early in the 19th century, two parties leftover from the birth of the United States

Tom Clancy wrote a book where the President declared drug gangs as a "Clear and present danger" to the US, authorizing military action against them.

It did not end well for that President.

"The shooter was transgender!"
"The bullet was transgender!"
"The roommate is transgender!"

What's next?
Image of a tweet from Twitter user "aridrennen" that says: The "evidence" the tabloid media has of the claim that Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter's alleged roommate is allegedly transgender is two-year-old TikTok video where the roommate used a filter to look like a female anime character.

These Humvees are parked along the National Mall, which has the lowest crime rate in DC.

This shows that the DC troop deployment isn't about crime, it's about sending a message of power.

I've come around to the #AbolishICE viewpoint.
An image showing a post and a reply. The post is from DHS official Tricia McLaughlin, saying "You do *NOT* need an undergraduate degree to joine ICE." With the link to apply for a job with ICE. Reply from Mikel Jollett: "Or a conscience. "Or a basic understanding of the constitution. "Or confidence in your own manhood."
