He is talking about Democratic Sen. Slotkin, Sen. Kelly, Rep. Deluzio, Rep. Crow, Rep. Houlahan, & Rep. Goodlander, all former military who made a PSA reminding current military members that they have an obligation to refuse illegal orders and legal protection for doing so.

yeah, because what Venezuela does make is oil!

actually, that looks more like a stink bug, an annoying pest that smells bad when you squish it, but doesn't bit or anything. They are all over in Appalachia.

So of course T while giving a speech to the fast food industry executives, told them that they should fight hard to prevent a raise in the minimum wage. Because he's an asshole.

However, I'm willing to bet that they will never actually indict anyone, because as soon as someone is indicted their lawyers would be able to ask for the Epstein files for discovery purposes.

But they won't ever actually indict anyone, because the minute they indict someone, that person's lawyers will have to have access to the Epstein files as part of discovery.

okay, I'm going to act like a complete dummy here, but is that an actual response from ChatGPT-5.1, or a clever joke?

why are people talking like the shut down is over, has Johnson recalled the House? Has the House voted on the compromise bill?

the people do have the right of redress - through their elected representatives.

nope, not photoshopped. I pulled this picture directly off FOX News website. While the doors are open in this, you can still see that they are covered all over with gold doodads. It's embarrassing.

Agreed! The couple at the center of that case (David & David) are former students of mine, and one of them made that point to me a couple of months ago when Davis first made the appeal, that her case was really narrow and not at all a suitable vehicle. The court will look for a better vehicle.

you'd have to set some kind of floor on that, otherwise, you'd have people saying - some of your constituents gave you $100 so you can't vote on anything that affects your constituents - like roads, health care, etc.

The hemp THC industry is important in Kentucky, where hemp THC products are both grown and processed. He's trying to protect our states agricultural industries.

That is NOT the way constitutional amendments happen, they either begin in Congress (2/3 vote of both houses) and then are sent to state legislators (NOT the people), or a constitutional convention is convened (which requires 2/3 of the states legislatures to do) and no one wants that to happen.

love how Angel stays put in exactly the same spot, while Rizzo is dancing all around.

I really question whether Speaker Johnson will recall the House to vote on the CR before the beginning of December.

So these Dem Senators could have given away all the leverage, and even if Thune keeps his word, nothing will change because Speaker Johnson is not party to this deal, and probably opposes it, and we're still stuck with a shutdown, and no leverage at all.
