Oh no, the deal is already breaking down. It was supposed to last at least until they could manipulate the market on Tuesday

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

History is like science and free speech. It doesn't exist for you to agree or disagree with it, it exists for you to listen to it.

A two-part image. The top half shows a close-up of the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment, which begins with the words "1st Amendment" and includes the phrase "We the People." The bottom half is a solid orange background with a quote from the First Amendment in large, white text: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” In the bottom are circular seals for the Attorney General of Washington.

They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration? Banana republic shit

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

This was taken at the Peppermint Lounge. Jimi and the Ronettes were members of Joey Dee and the Starliters ("Peppermint Twist") at the time. Other famous members of that band at various points were the Young Rascals and Joe Pesci. Yes, *that* Joe Pesci.
Here's a black and white photo of a young Joe Pesci playing a Gibson ES-345 guitar. This may have been taken when he was in Joey Dee and the Starliters.

Bass: We just heard that the administration’s experiment failed. The raids that were happening in Los Angeles—the random pulling and snatching of people off the streets based on the language they spoke, their appearance, where they work—the court has said that can no longer happen.

Pam Bondi says that the missing minute from the Epstein tape is normal because they change the tape every night at 11:58 since 1999 and every night has a missing minute. So everyone knows there’s no recording at 11:58 for one minute every night? Not sure that helps quell concerns.

Bass: We have to stop this mess. The idea of having troops go through the park and disrupt a children’s summer camp, or drive through the streets and just pick people off… So our city attorney is leading the way. We are filing a lawsuit and calling for an injunction to stop this.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
