Me and mine like to desecrate classical (read: royalty-free) plays in bar readings. Dildo props, inebriated actors, you get the idea.
We perform at a bar around Capitol Hill, so we, uh, decided on a theme for this year. Our leadoff play is as close to President's Day as we could get it.

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.
Period.
This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

The official United States government response to this is to work with Russia to cook up a plan for Ukraine to surrender its land and weapons.
Alliance, friendship, hope, and trust, rewarded with senseless, evil betrayal.

The House has voted unanimously to repeal the provisions in the shutdown package which allow GOP Senators to sue the federal government and get as much as $1 million in damages - because the feds looked at their phone records in the Jan. 6 investigation.

It's always the ones you most suspect
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

The House has passed H.R. 5214, a bill to return DC to cash bail.
Cash bail creates two tiers of justice, one for people with money and one without. DC abolished it more than 30 years ago and crime has dropped precipitously since.
H.R. 5214 is wrong and we will continue to fight its passage.

The House has passed H.R. 5107, a bill to undo basic transparency and accountability measures for DC police.
Rolling back laws around police accountability is dangerous and will encourage abuse of power.

Sure seems pretty weird to *schedule* a "rapid response unit" to deploy four and a half months from now. 😬
The Alaska National Guard has responded to public concerns around a rapid response unit trained for "civil disturbance operations:" 100 service members will be trained "to support civil authorities."
At the request of Gov. Dunleavy, they will deploy to Washington D.C. in March 2026.

Only two nations in the world use cash bail: the Philippines and the United States.
DC eliminated cash bail more than 30 years ago because it's wrong to have one system of justice if you're rich and another if you're poor.
House Dems, DC is watching your votes on H.R. 5214.
