Senator Jeff Merkley on the backlash against Chuck Schumer for capitulating on the CR:

"I think they will be hugely upset, and well-justified. You don't stop the bully by handing over your lunch money, and you don't stop an authoritarian president by giving him more power."

Bukele tweeted it and your Secretary of State retweeted it dawg
Note

Deputy Assistant AG Drew Ensign went to a federal appeals court to stop the "open, public hearing" on the matter, claiming that topics to be discussed — mostly, already public information — implicate "sensitive national security and operation" secrets. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Your evening Foster Flower update:

Her cat bed is now in the hall between her safe room and the office.

Today Flower made a brief coworker appearance. She came into the office, sat under my chair & returned to her cat bed.

You know that scene in Braveheart where Wallace is betrayed by the Scottish nobles and he chases one down and finds out it was Robert-the-Bruce.

And then Wallace just lays on the ground in disbelief at the betrayal?

That’s how I feel right now. Chuck Schumer is a weaker Robert the Bruce.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

a liberal doing a boycott or a leftist doing a sit in or non violent occupation of a building all get called terrorists, a conservative shooting people or running them down with their car or blowing up a building is defined as let's not talk about that too much more of them might kill people
The fundamental issue here is that a pissed off Democrat will arrange a boycott or a sit in or a protest and a pissed off Republican will load a box truck full of ammonium nitrate and nitromethane and detonate it next to the Murrah building
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

Sarah Inama said she was told by administrators that her signs “don’t allow people to express differing opinions.”

Frankly I think one lesson of this should be that Congresspeople are henceforth barred from having security throw constituents out of town halls. On the contrary, they should be barred from having security there at all. If your constituents decide to blood eagle you, that's your problem
