"Sophie Cunningham said Wednesday that she wants the focus to return to basketball after her comments on transgender athletes" Must be nice, to be able to expect that what she wants will just happen.

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
Three years ago, the Biden White House attacked me for saying "Democrats should be fighting on every possible front — filing a flurry of lawsuits and exerting public pressure through the media." "The president's team wants to be more selective in picking legal fights." I feel sadly vindicated.
If Mamdani’s faith suddenly becomes a political “concern,” while Dr. Oz’s Muslim identity never did, then religion is not the issue. The issue is who people have decided is allowed to belong.
Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.
Former J6 federal prosecutors are begging senators -- mostly GOPers, but a handful of Dems are in there, too -- to stop confirming election deniers to lifetime federal courts seats. “Please stop poisoning our courts." www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

What does it mean when you answer a moral question with legality? It means you think it’s immoral.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 14h agoQ: What message does it send if Trump fires a US attorney because she determined there was not sufficient evidence to charge four people with a crime? BLANCHE: If he fires a US attorney, it turns out he's allowed to do that because he's the president
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.
Here is the good news: DOJ is now 0-20 in lawsuits to gain access to voter files and tomorrow is the 90th day before the election which means states can't purge voters -- even if DOJ wants them to. The bad news: Trump won't give up trying to use DOJ to undermine the elections.
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
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
Trump’s corruption runs on Republican cooperation. Every senator who confirms his cronies and every House member who blocks accountability helps keep the machine running. Flip Congress in November, and suddenly Trump faces something he has avoided for far too long: consequences.
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.
Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
Judge Wise finds that ICE coerced a 20-year-old Tongan man — admitted legally to the country three years ago — to sign a document accepting deportation, despite no criminal record or immigration proceedings against him. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.
Holy Fucking Cowardice, out loud, Batman.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
Interesting that Aaron Rodgers isn't ever told to "stick to sports"...... Wonder why?
You could have voted to impeach in January 2000. Instead, you voted for no witnesses and no documents to be allowed at trial. You are a failed person, Cornyn.
