If she doesn’t win on appeal we’re done. Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, this one went under the radar. Trump trying to stop Smith report vol 2.

I heard analysis on concerns with the failure to object to the fellow judge witness making a statement essentially concluding that Judge Dugan was guilty. That could have been the basis for mistrial. Failure to object would mean she loses the right to appeal based on that issue.

25% reduction in all cause mortality over 4 years for those vaccinated against covid, huge study.

Wow, this almost suggests covid is implicated in an unbelievable number of deaths. And that vaccinated people should wear respirators if they want to remain abled.

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

Republicans don't care if American men, women, and children die. They want us to die.
Suozzi: "In my district, if you make $130,000 & you're a family of 4, you now pay 8.5% of your income for health insurance - $10k to $11,000 a year. That's gonna go up to $30k a year, which means your premium is going to increase $1,500 a month. That's crazy. People are not gonna buy the insurance"

We now have a bipartisan majority of members of Congress demanding a vote to extend ACA tax credits and keep health care affordable for all Americans.

Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.

For a GOP president—after the Iraq War—to say outright that invading Venezuela is all about oil is wild. But it is. It’s also about corruption, power, graft, and land. And we should take him at his word.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose

well the main 3 things for them are:
1. grow balls for a fight. no one like wimps dancing on words.
2. dump corporates. oligarchs are asphyxiating us.
3. present a real plan. too much lips service in the past allowed where we are today. small towns need help. strongarm the corporate oligarchs for it

Tonight’s speech was a string of lies. Not spin. Not exaggeration. Lies. None of it was grounded in fact, and that should alarm every one of us. This is why the 2026 midterms matter. We show up, we vote, and we defend democracy by taking action.

I'm pressing for an investigation now.
