Let’s be clear: the Republican shutdown continues because the Republican Speaker dares not bring back the House to face an Epstein vote they would lose and a divided caucus with vulnerables who want to extend Affordable Care credits and MAGAloons who won’t.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Harris' response is procedure-focal and lawyerly. It is also entirely correct. I don't need every politician to have a loud and poorly informed view on the subject. I do need them to respect the existing mechanisms for legal adjudication of claims. Harris clears this threshold.

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years.

It was always clear this was the anti-woke goal, it’s just depressing how much they were allowed to cloud it in high minded free speech misdirection.

The thing about the Nazi chat is these people turned the country upside down and got a lot of people fired to be able to say those things in comfort.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Your actions have consequences.

You choose not to vote, you lose your say.

You elect a felon, expect to get robbed.

It's always lies, as we know, but this one is as idiotic as any considering Jack Smith wasn't involved in this topic until months after the classified tiles were found in Trump's bathroom despite being asked for 10 times.

Republicans have sent troops into American cities to violently instigate conflict against its own citizens largely because these Republicans don’t like seeing Black and brown faces. And they want you to be afraid that they’re coming for you next. That’s pretty much the whole of it.

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

He keeps saying this, even though Jack Smith didn't join the classified docs case until a few months after the raid.

But since he keeps doing this on Fox News, where they are on the same team, he won't get called out on it.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.
