It is blindingly obvious he did, and even the pretense that he didn’t would mean he has no credibility to whip votes and so he isn’t a viable leader either way.

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna
bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

People are assuming Epstein bill dies in the Senate and that's a reasonable expectation, but I'm getting less sure. They were so desperate to avoid a recorded vote they tried to pass the House by UC. All that pressure is about to turn on the Senate. It's not unthinkable he ends up having to veto it.

The sky’s full of mystical dancing lights, from particles miles above us, excited by a burp from our local star. You’re allowed to be excited about cool shit, and this is especially cool shit

It was strangled in its cradle by powerful people who didn't want to be subjected to its searching gaze. It didn't go even close to far enough.
Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

So, the Dems released three emails specifically building a case against Trump/Epstein. The GOP responded by releasing 20k more, supposedly to put the first three "in context". But somehow, they haven't pointed to anything exculpatory.

Strange.

One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:

One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing

And then you'll say. Wait a second.

the one question to ask any politician or reporter who claims the 8 Senate Ds went rogue to capitulate to Trump:

If Schumer opposed the deal, why did Schumer's whip vote for it?

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

State and local Democrats: We absolutely destroyed the GOP in this week's elections.

Chuck Schumer: We're about to lose support. Time to cave.

I might exempt a few who were more excoriating of this plan, but then again, they should demand his ouster most of all, if they are genuine in their outrage.

Schumer's sold them out twice. Why give him a third strike?

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Please, @alsobrooks.senate.gov, please, please, _please_ tell us you're opposed to this deal the Cave Caucus made with Thune.

This sent me back to 2013, when the SFWA Bulletin published a string of bad choices including a column by Mike Reznick and Barry Malzberg about "lady editors" and the people who complained were all nasty RUINERS. Anyway, it led to the milestone Lightspeed edition Women Destroy Science Fiction.
