Those things are so creepy. One was deployed outside of a large renovation site near where I worked once and boy does it get its point across! Very effective protest!

This is the same Speaker who has repeatedly refused to put up the congressionally-mandated plaque honoring the Capitol Police members who were viciously assaulted by MAGA goons on January 6th.

We've seen your deeds, you oily liar.

Good luck to this jury. Seriously. I can barely follow what the defense lawyer is saying.

Tourism was so much better when all cameras were film cameras and you had to decide what was worth using one of your limited number of photos on. Yes some of your pics sucked, but you actually looked at things and remembered them, b/c your memories weren't in your camera reel that you never look at!

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

The forecast for the powerful and deadly storm that battered small communities in western Alaska over the weekend was likely made worse by a lack of weather data triggered by the Trump administration’s cuts.

Agreed. If it has to be legal, then it should be in-person only.

How many years in a row of terrible lower play does this make for the Caps? Feels like at least 4 or 5.

Yes! Radley Balko used to write about this frequently. It surprises me that this has never broken through to the general public. It happens every day.
