BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.
Mark Kelly: "I hope we got something out of this. Putin is a war criminal. This is not a show of strength to allow him to fly into the United States to land here to negotiate with our president."
Granger: Here’s the opportunity: Democrats have reportedly been trying to manufacture their own Rogan… But that kind of voice isn’t made in a lab—it emerges organically when the message matches the moment. Right now, the MeidasTouch brothers are meeting that moment.
Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
VARNEY: You've suggested that Medicaid people, if they got a work requirement under the new rules, they should go work on farms. Are you sticking with that? BROOKE ROLLINS: Here's the deal -- when in America did we lose the concept of the dignity of work? So yes.
Abbott just issued arrest warrants for the Dems who fled the state. Rep Jasmine Crockett: unbothered. “You have a lot of intelligent attorneys that serve in the Texas House, and so they know there’s nothing he can do outside of the Texas jurisdiction.”
Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com last night: "We do now live in a country that has an authoritarian leader in charge. We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country."
Where are the demands for town halls? Did the Democratic Party just forget?

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she's looking to redraw the state's legislative lines in response to the Texas gerrymander — even going so far as to suggest amending the state constitution to move up the timeline.
This isn't justice. This is one monster helping out another.
Congratulations to Kellyanne Conway. She will be providing the new alternative job numbers.
Did you know: Gislane Maxwell was transferred to a nice minimum security prison after talking with trumps lawyer. A sex trafficker, was transferred to a nicer place by Donald Trump. Wonder why? Also looks like GOP is the pedo defenders.
Vowed to finish my piece this morning on Rucho and what’s happening in Texas today, but now see that @stevevladeck.bsky.social is on the case! I’ll still finish mine (which takes a different view) but I encourage you to read this. It’s excellent. www.stevevladeck.com/p/171-partis...
171. Partisan Gerrymandering After Rucho

The man who just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because their numbers supposedly weren’t accurate just claimed that he lowered drug prices in America by 1500%.
Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
