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.

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

America is no longer a country. It's a company. The MAGAts wanted America to be run like a business, and that's exactly what Trump has given them. Trump is CEO, Congress is no more than middle management, and SCOTUS is all those pesky regulators that must be threatened, placated, or bought off.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

From Stuart Greenberg: GOP Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are assholes!! If they really wanted to do the right thing, they’d use their new found power to get all the Epstein Files released before voting to advance Todd Blanche. Instead they roll over, sit up and perform on cue.

An explosion at Moscow's luxury Balzi Rossi restaurant. Early reports say at least three people were killed and several others injured. Russian Telegram channels say the restaurant was closed to the public for the birthday of Russian general Aleksandr Chayko, commander of Russia's aerospace forces.

We found some fraud, waste, and abuse. Trump ordered the National Park Service to spend $5 million on a project to paint four horse statues using 23.75-karat gold leaf. This money was intended to maintain our national parks, but instead it’s being spent on gold paint for statues.

Talarico: Paxton gave an Epstein-style sweetheart deal to an admitted child predator, was reported to the FBI for bribery by his own staff, became a multi-millionaire on a government salary & now own 15 homes on the public's dime. He should have to answer the public's questions. #Blues
