This is such a critical thing most people don't know about their local cops; Most don't even live in their community, and it matters A Seattle Lawyer told me that it's well known that cops with rightwing politics take jobs in Seattle to 'bash queers' AKA like Officer Mark Rawlins

This is spot on. Fascinating that his home city of Chicago requires all police officers to live in the city, not just the police chief. That reforms a lot

El-Sayed on Vance: Is that Peter Thiel's boy with that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy—after he said that Donald Trump had no business being president of anything. And then he decided to suck up to power.

The fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!

Paxton has his aide step and doesn't answer when someone asks him "how come on a government salary you own over 15 houses?"

It really seems that his objective is to destroy our country.

Why do so many folks have a small but constant hate of Gen X and older? Because they will blame parents for helicopter parenting kids around streets, but then bitch and moan that people aren't watching their kids enough playing in beach sand while idiot drive their cars around. TX sucks!

Why is it not front page news on every major media outlet that the United States commander in chief had hundreds of his bank accounts frozen for money laundering??????

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."

Has Mitch McConnell put out a statement congratulating yesterday’s primary winners as he continues to recover nicely in rehab?

Capitol One shut down 300 accounts belonging to Trump because they were flagged for potential money laundering. That was 2021. Imagine if this were Biden. How would America react? But yes "liberal media."

Pure scum wrapped in fake piety.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.

She's done this before. Everyone knows it's a game she plays. The fact is, it's all for the votes. Hopefully Dems and Independents will be enough to get her out of there.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

The $30 million AIPAC wasted in Michigan, wasted trying to help Haley Stevens, could have been used to fully fund and deliver 6 million malaria nets to sub-Saharan Africa. Or, it could have fully paid for universal free school breakfasts in Mississippi, America's poorest state.

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.

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue

Palestinians should be paid reparations for the money Israel had made on their land. Black Americans deserve reparations for the wealth made from the subjugation of their ancestors. Native Americans/indigenous folk deserve reparations for centuries of genocide and land theft.

Reminder: Todd Blanche has… -Weaponized the DOJ to persecute Trump’s political foes -Purged hundreds of career DOJ lawyers -Botched the release of the Epstein files and ignored victims’ wishes He can’t be trusted and has no business being Attorney General. The Senate must reject him.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

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 ... "

Here's the hard truth about Todd Blanche: he'll do whatever Trump tells him to do and can't be trusted to respect the power that comes with being the U.S. Attorney General. The Senate needs to reject him.

BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.

This is pretty straightforward, and it's weird to me that people are against it.
