This is what a bunch of Democrats in the Senate just voted for:
"The provision, tucked into a measure to fund the legislative branch, appears to immediately allow for eight GOP senators to sue over their phone records being seized in the course of the investigation by Jack Smith ... into the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...
Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches
Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

Prediction, and I'd bet money on this:
♦️She will not be able to bribe a single "high-profile journalist" to work for her.
Because however much of David Ellison's $$ she throws around, it won't be worth the reputational damage.
(Fox News doesn't count. Because the plan is to hire journalists).

Bari Weiss’ interest in high-profile journalists under contract at rival networks has struck insiders as naïve, and raised questions about her recruiting tactics. Meanwhile, CBS News staffers are bracing for another round of layoffs.

Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here
“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

This government was created by the people, of the people, and FOR the people. That is why we pay taxes.
It is to protect its citizens, not mentally torture them with the specter of food deprivation or health care that leads them to bankruptcy.
If your representatives don’t do that, VOTE THEM OUT.

The quintessential example of the pro-Israel motte and bailey in action: it's not apartheid because the occupied West Bank is not a part of Israel, but everything in the occupied West Bank is a domestic issue for Israelis and the US has no business dictating to the Israelis on this.
