"But, if we decriminalize marijuana, how will the police be able to turn black people into felons who can not vote?" - concerned republican, probably
About 178, 000 Americans die from alcohol addiction every year. Smoking tobacco kills 480, 000, including 41, 000 from second-hand smoke. 80,000 to 100, 000 Americans die each year from drug overdoses. Marijuana... Zero overdoses were reported by the CDC. Draw your own conclusions.
It ended the way we knew it would. So why the charade? Cornyn & Tillis tanking Blanche, a MAGA nominee, would mean being blacklisted from K Street. Staging a delay let them pretend to have principles, while ultimately falling in line to protect their lucrative future lobbying careers.💸 #Blues
It's a fallacy to think that the Trump regime is pro-military. it's pro-violence and pro-stealing-from-foreign-countries, but it's anti-military-families. As Trump has demonstrated, he thinks soldiers are "suckers" and "losers."

The same Dershowitz who when revealed he visited Epstein predator palace that he swears he always kept his underwear on, that Alan Dershowitz
Maida ☠️@emmaidama.bsky.social · 10h agoTrump is promoting a book written by Epstein’s attorney, Alan Dershowitz… 🤦🏻♀️ #Pinks 🌸
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.
Trump and Epstein were in their 40s when they partied with young girls. Here’s an account about a 14-year-old girl who was told to “dress sexy” for a party at Mar-a-Lago where she was offered champagne. 2/6🧵
Yeah the blatant dishonesty, corruption, and lack of principles and patriotism seems bad, too.
Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸@judiciarydems.senate.gov · yesterdaySen. SCHIFF: The fundamental problem with Todd Blanche isn’t that he’s inexperienced or not intelligent. The problem with Todd Blanche is that he’s never been able to shed his role as criminal defense lawyer for Donald Trump. He just can’t do it.
I just woke up and Senator WhiteHouse is talking. Oh my God. Everyone needs to be out on the streets. This is not a good thing putting Blanche in. This is an actual hit on America as if it was the mafia that themselves doing it. People if you are not afraid, you should be. 
If you can’t impeach a President for laundering money, War crimes, corruption, Market Manipulations, illegal Wars nowadays, what can you impeach them for?
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.
It’s past time to BAN CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING! No member of Congress [or the White House] should be trading stocks. Period. The American people deserve to know their representatives are working for them, not corporations and stock portfolios. It’s time to ban Congressional stock trading.
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
The MAGA Republican platform is crystal clear they are creating a Fascist White Nationalist Christian segregated Autocracy that is paramount. People of color are not part of their grand master plan, nor are independent women, gays, or persons who are opposed to their draconian executive orders!
NEWS: For nearly 20 years, Epstein moved over $1B through the major banks. The banks looked away. Sen. Wyden’s 3-year probe exposes it all. But most damning? How Trump and the GOP tried to bury it.

Whitehouse on Blanche and Ghislaine Maxwell: "It was to get exculpatory information about Donald Trump and then reward her ... How often does a prisoner allegedly facing threats or danger get moved to a less secure facility? Think about it. It doesn't pass the test of common sense."

This is so true. Texans you have to turn Texas back to blue. You have to want better.
This is pretty straightforward, and it's weird to me that people are against it.

So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · 3d agoJames Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."
Mainstream reporters can see MAGA is building a dictatorship. They don't tell the public because their newsroom leaders: A) hope irrationally that everything will fix itself B) fear being punished by fascists and/or C) are in league with fascists. That’s why they pretend this is normal “politics.”
