I saw some guy online comment today that "we need a male AOC" and I had to shut my laptop and go for a nice, long walk in order to avoid screaming.

It’s a good day to be a not-corrupt pile of shit lawyer. Laws do mean something even after 11 months of beating the constitution senseless
BREAKING: Judge rules Lindsey Halligan's appointment was not valid, thus, she had no authority to present the James Comey or Letitia James indictments and the indictments are dismissed without prejudice.

Why doesn't Trump (and most of the GOP) want the House to push for the release of the Epstein files?
The White House confirms Trump officials tried to convince Lauren Boebert today to drop her support for the Epstein files discharge petition.
Once Adelita Grijalva is sworn in this afternoon, majority support will be reached on that discharge petition in the House.

That’s why I say keep calling.
I recognize this is, to some extent, cope/bargaining, but
this is the the first of several votes necessary to end the shutdown, right? so even the present unfathomable fecklessness doesn't mean it's over over, and there are multiple potential blockage points ahead to reject a no-concessions 'deal'?

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.
