Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
Everyone knows what the problem is: The organizations that bring young staffers to Washington, D.C. have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence,” said a senior GOP congressional staffer, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel issues. “We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots.”

Survivors dissatisfied. Roberts asked Blanche, “What do you need from us to help you open an investigation?” Blanche replied, “I need testimony and evidence,” stunning the room. “He was standing in a room full of people who have given testimony over many decades." www.ms.now/news/todd-bl...

Todd Blanche meeting leaves Epstein survivors stunned and angry
Sources tell MS NOW the acting attorney general made false representations, refused to make commitments and seemed to have no interest in meeting with survivors.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.
A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads:

I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs.
1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702.
2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law.
The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

What do you take to manage your trigeminal neuralgia? I was just diagnosed after 2 ER visits, dental visit, and finally orofacial pain specialist (yup, they exist -- in NY, of course). They are still trying to find meds that work. Carbazepine gave me hives...

LGBTQ+ pride flag removal from Stonewall monument in NYC sparks outcry
The Stonewall National Monument memorializes the eponymous Stonewall Uprising of 1969, when a police raid of the small Greenwich Village gay bar ignited six days of rioting that birthed the modern US gay rights movement, later extended to transgender and non-binary people, who do not identify as male or female.
