They are absolutely banking on these protests shifting public opinion in their favor. And god I hope they end up as just massive mascot dance parties to utterly humiliate them.

Does Susan Collins know she's Chair of the Appropriatons Committee?

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur.bsky.social · 2h

Sen. Susan Collins says the White House should try to get their proposed spending cuts into appropriations bills.

“This end run is not helpful,” she says.

Collins adds that it “would be helpful” to reopening the govt if WH and OMB’s Russ Vought stop the rescissions.

i have to be honest, gang, i have some questions about this republican strategy of telling everyone to tune in and pay attention to what’s likely to be one of the largest days of political protest in american history directed at the republican party

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

I mean the issue with AI in law isn't really the plagiarism cause yeah, using other people's arguments, briefs etc is normal, expected, and accepted.

It's that the AI tends to make stuff up out of whole cloth and put it into your briefs.

Which is wild because amendment explicitly say:

"The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social · 3h

This entire argument by Louisiana and the conservatives questions are premised on an erasure of Congress’ enforcement power under the 14th & 15th Amendments.

Literally swinging for the fences to wipe out the premise for the legitimacy of Congress’ power to enact civil rights statutes.

I think part of that is that there's so much more shit to go at Kennedy for in regards to what he's doing now. The Nuzzi affair, as it relates to him, is old news and not directly on point.
Whereas for her it's still directly related to her current work.

She was having an affair, even if virtual, with the subject of her reporting.
That's not 'slut-shaming' that's "wow this is a massive violation of journalistic ethics and she probably shouldn't have a job like that again."

Everyone in my feed is shitting on Nuzzi. Meanwhile, the other person in the saga is now destroying the medical community and endangering public health.

But let’s slut shame Nuzzi.

Ohio zoomer voters man...

Republican Vivek Ramaswamy held a 10-point lead over Democrat Amy Acton in a hypothetical gubernatorial matchup: 49 to 39 percent, with 12 percent undecided. Acton gained name recognition as the state’s public health director through the Covid-19 pandemic, earning her the support of Ohio’s Democratic base — and placing her in the crosshairs of conservatives as outrage bubbled over about the state’s controversial school closures.

While Acton is currently the only declared Democratic candidate for governor, former Rep. Tim Ryan has also been mulling tossing his hat in the ring. But a potential contest between Ryan and Ramaswamy showed the Republican leading 49 percent to 41 percent, with 10 percent undecided.

According to the Emerson poll, Ramaswamy’s strength lies in his support among younger voters — the onetime presidential candidate outperformed Husted with voters under 30 by five points.

Don’t forget to cancel your Spotify account (if you still have one). Running ads for ICE was the final straw for me. They claim it doesn’t violate their policies, but it’s still immoral and unnecessary.

Ultimately Johnson can still keep the House home so it might not mean much if she did. But she could definitely do that and then demand she be allowed to hire staff etc.

Her election should have been certified today so Mikey's fig leaf excuse of "the results aren't official" is gone.

So how long does he plan to give the Republicans paid vacation to avoid this?

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal @jayapal.house.gov · 18h

It’s been 21 days since Adelita Grijalva won her election, yet Mike Johnson still hasn’t sworn her in.

Why? Because she said she would be the 218th signature on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Her constituents deserve a voice in Congress. Swear her in NOW.
