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.
You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
Yesterday your daughter got a restraining order against Rep. Max Miller to stop him from harassing her lawyer—after accusing him of abusing her and your 2-year-old granddaughter. But rather than condemn him, you’re on a press tour harassing an 85-year-old scientist. Shameless.

At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.
It’s what dictators do. Even “wanna-be-never-was” versions.

No mystery there, the medias are owned by his “friends”. Remember how they got entertained with Obama’s tan suit.

AOC: Ask Peter Thiel. Ask Elon Musk. Ask Mark Zuckerberg if they want one of these data centers in their own backyard. Ask any one of us here on this committee. If anyone wants to live right next to one of these centers, please raise your hand.
ICYMI — “4 months ago you said Iran’s military had been destroyed, declared victory, and said we had achieved all our objectives. Was that an accurate statement?” Trump’s unqualified Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth melts down as Senator @ossoff.bsky.social calmly takes him apart.
😳 Hegseth snaps at Peters: "Your characterization of this incredible effort as a failure if reckless and irresponsible and smear the sacrifice of the troops. Shame on you." Peters responds: "You, sir, are the failure!"
🔥TILLIS (R): “I’ve heard a lot of talk about DOGE savings… Give me 1 example. I love the IDEA of DOGE— but not the DOGE shit we’re picking up bc people did it wrong.” Trump’s budget stooge @russvought gets bipartisan smoke from @SenThomTillis @SenTinaSmith & @Sen_Alsobrooks
Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."
Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.
The payment is an admission of guilt. This should be the biggest news on every platform.

Yes. Reform the Supreme Court. Term limits. Expand the Court. Enforceable code of ethics. It’s time we address corruption on the highest court.
this is absolutely wild. where does roberts think these agencies come from?!? who invested them with authority to act? whose mandate are they designed to execute? the president is the chief EXECUTive. his job is executing the will of Congress as it spells out in its duly-passed laws!
Aubrey Gilleran@aubreygilleran.bsky.social · last mo.Yes, Congress should be able to do these things. A court this contemptuous of Congress deserves to be packed by Congress, not only to correct these disastrous precedents but also because Congress needs to show both Article II and Article III who’s boss.
When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.
Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)
