This has been the message coming out of yesterday around congress. The discharge getting the votes it needed seem to be pushing folks to realize that the jig is up.

Anything can happen, totally—but I don’t think anyone wants the official stain of voting against the release.

…and that’s enough internet for me tonight!

Fucking yikes.

YIKES! 🙃

I’ve been trying to finish this book for a little over a month. I’m just about halfway done and it’s…phenomenal.

But it makes me so angry.

The clear and present danger our country is facing from the lens of teachers is really hard for me to sit with. I will finish it though.

Seeing some confusion!

Now that the Epstein discharge petition is signed and locked, this is what happens next.

We wait 7 legislative days to pass, then Johnson has 2 days to hold the vote. Then it moves to the Senate. Then Trump’s desk.

He either signs it or vetoes it.

This will split MAGA.

I can help here. In 7 legislative days the House will hold a floor vote. Once/if it passes the house, it’ll go to the Senate. Once/if it passes the Senate, it’ll go to Trump to sign.

The petition was the hard part though, I expect this to get to Trump’s desk where he’ll veto. This will split MAGA.

…almost there.

Which is why he’s dead now.

Trump’s a pedophile. Here’s hoping those 4 Republicans have a backbone.

I’m sure it will be.

Sharing a picture on Nancy Mace for no specific reason.

So Democrats folded...giving up basically everything they wanted.

Except...that also means Johnson has to bring the House back. Which means he has to swear in Grijalva. Which triggers the Epstein files vote.

No Kings Dallas, TX. We got absolutely dumped on, but we stayed out there, soaking wet, to have our voices heard!

Republican leadership wants you to believe that the swastika on this flag is an optical illusion and near impossible to see with the naked eye.

If you believe that…

How do we live with these people?

I'm sorry, but I'm going to need the Chinese government to confirm this. I can't trust the US Federal Government.

Saying you have a deal done, and then saying President Trump will meet with President Xi on Friday to "possibly finalize the deal" sounds like you don't actually have a deal in place.

For those who don’t know Helldivers—you play as the bad guys, sent out by a pseudo-democratic government that insists your freedom and safety are always at risk (sound familiar?) and that you must defend “democracy” with violence. You also shout “freedom!” a lot. A LOT.

It’s obviously satire.

This is from before the election, but I said it then and I’ll say ot again now:

MAGA is the American Taliban!

The strangle hold this place has on people is so strange.

Everything we know about how ‘the platform formally known as Twitter’ is run, and people would still rather be there than here.

There really isn’t anything Bluesky is missing at this point. It doesn’t make any sense.

The President of the United States is a pedophile. Fuck him. Fuck the people enabling him. Fuck the people protecting him. Fuck the people who voted for him.

Send him to the gallows.
