That's it Mike, be the party of protecting Epstein's friends.
Mike Johnson expresses concern that requiring the Epstein files to come out "could ruin the reputations of completely innocent people, such as those who may just have known Epstein but knew nothing of his crimes or whose names he exploited and used to try to get close to his intended victims."

Khanna: "There should be no buildings named after people in this Epstein class. There should be no scholarships named after them. They shouldn't be enjoying perks of being affiliated w/ corporations or universities. Many of the survivors will tell you some of these people still are celebrated"

Europe's electricity system is changing rapidly and often in places that don't make the headlines.
Look at Estonia - not that long ago and fossil fuels dominated around 90% of electricity generation.
Today solar and wind eat more and more into the share of fossil fuel-generated electricity.

Q: Speaker Johnson is calling on the Senate to make revisions to this bill because he says it's doesn't adequately protect survivors
MASSIE: That's been a red herring all along. The survivors have always been in favor of this legislation. He's trying to save face.

We knew it was to save American hedge funds. Can't have billionaires losing their money. Never mind that average working class folks lost food support & were told their health insurance premiums would double or triple if the tax credits disappeared.
Hedge funds that wagered big on Argentina in recent months notched bumper gains in October after a US rescue package and a resounding win for President Javier Milei’s party in midterm elections sparked a surge in the nation’s financial markets.
Hedge Funds Reap Windfalls on Argentina Bets as Trump Steps In

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

We just started a project converting a state property in Riverside into 150 affordable housing units for low-income Californians.
Whether it's transforming state land or repealing NIMBY roadblocks, we're using an all-of-the-above mindset to take on the housing crisis.

The thing about the "Quiet Piggy" thing isn't so much that he's a sexist scumbag. We knew that already.
But he would have caught himself in the past. He did with Megyn Kelly with "blood coming out of her... whatever."
