Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.
"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

Modern Indentured Servitude. Abosultely unconstitutional. But…what if this administration, raised the cost of health insurance drastically, deported low-wage migrants, and put highly restrictive work requirements for SNAP benefits, could they get people to “volunteer” to a “legal” equivalent?

If the plan was to deliberately destroy both education and healthcare in this country, I can't imagine what they'd be doing differently.
Nursing has been excluded as a “professional degree” by the Trump administration as the Department of Education prepares to make massive cuts to providing students loans. Also excluded are NP’s, PA’s, PT’s. This comes when there as an extreme nursing shortage and $20K sign on bonuses for nurses. 😡

I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate.
Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were
X is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.

GOP seems to be unshackling from T and his minions after the vote to release the Epstein files, at least Rep. Salazar is regarding DHS actions in Charlotte.

Very important for people to read this portion of the Epstein Files Transparency Act so you understand 1) why Mike Johnson was so upset today, and 2) what is NOT permitted to be redacted by the DOJ.
