Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

If you’re “deeply wary” about Putin, having Trump on the other side of the negotiating table surely must alleviate those concerns. 🙄

I don’t know why anyone is surprised by this. The most famous off-cycle redistricting was the Texas GOP in 2003.
Dems left the state to prevent a quorum then, too.
The GOP always uses the “rules for thee but not for me” playbook.

McCLAIN: We're for the first time in a long time playing by the rules of the game
BLITZER: But the rules of the game are redistricting happens every 10 years after the census
McCLAIN: There's nothing that says we can't do it now. Trump is gonna fight for the Republican Party. That's his job.
