The United States is dragging its feet on approving President Emmanuel Macron’s pick for French ambassador to Washington amid a spat over human rights at the United Nations, according to three people familiar with the dispute.
Washington holds up approval for France’s US ambassador pick amid human rights spat
Trump and Macron play up their friendship in front of the cameras, but the simmering diplomatic tensions between the two countries aren’t going away.

Congress has a choice to make. Either we can decide to protect the top 6% of all earners in America and cut benefits for seniors. Or we can decide that everybody pays the same share and protect Social Security forever into the future. - @warren.senate.gov

Let’s level set. MICHIGAN is a must-win if we want to flip the Senate. A word caution: This race was tighter than many predicted. El-Sayed needs Stevens supporters in the general, so it’s not smart strategy to keep them angry. Welcome them. Focus on issues. Time is short, so healing must be quick
Mallory McMorrow, who dropped out of the Democratic Senate race a month before the primary, endorsed Abdul El-Sayed as he maintained a narrow lead over Haley Stevens early this morning. “I’m proud to give Abdul my full endorsement and support as we head to November together as a unified party.”
McMorrow endorses El-Sayed as he holds edge on Stevens
"Whatever differences there were between the candidates in this race, those differences are nothing compared to the contrast in November," she said.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
I do not and will not ever understand people who pay a bunch of money to come to a concert just to talk through the entire thing and I’m surrounded by them right now.
I’m sorry, but Max Miller is one sick, misogynistic POS.
The only promise Donald Trump has kept to the American people is the “dictator on day one” promise.
Are we just going to pretend that this DOJ and Administration still haven't released millions of Epstein Files and are breaking the law every day since it was passed?
If you vote in November, and judges are being elected. Please call your Dem Hq (with your sample ballot handy) and ASK WHO THEY ARE RECOMMENDING AND WHY. Many times these are non-partisan elections. Make certain you are voting for the SAFEST NEIGHBORHOOD POSSIBLE. Mark the ballot/place it in visor
ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->

I love this painting! Happy Birthday former POTUS Barack Obama! You’re 65 today! Dig that tan suit!
Max Miller: When I was reported for child abuse, for my daughter, for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days, and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan
Once again. It's simple! The only reason that the Epstein files have not been published is that they incriminate the president of the United States, and those others who are in a position to stop them from being released.
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
Why do we bother obeying the law and paying our taxes when the President does neither? He is playing us all for fools!
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
Last night, Russia attacked #Ukraine with ballistic missiles and drones, killing at least 17 people and injuring 44 more. Stronger #sanctions, without loopholes, are needed now. Bureaucracy and vested interests cannot outweigh human lives.
