Congratulations to every House Democrat and 20 Republicans for voting to restore the constitutional right to a union for over a million federal employees. The Senate must pass this bipartisan provision immediately.
All workers, including federal employees, have the right to be in a union.

House votes to repeal Trump order ending union rights at federal agencies
Twenty Republicans joined with Democrats to overturn the order, but it faces steep odds in the Senate.

In an extraordinary rebuke to Donald Trump, the Indiana state Senate rejected a gerrymandered congressional map pushed by the president that would have given Republicans a lopsided 9-0 advantage in the state’s House delegation.

Everyone is talking about how bad the flu is.
Media & healthcare facilities are pleading with people to get their flu shot.
To stay home when sick.
To wash their hands.
Very few are recommending masks. When we had mask mandates we eliminated an entire flu strain.
Mask up!

It's heartening the leadership firewall against any talk of impeachment is breaking down, because it's so delusionally out of touch with reality. Either you mean what you say about the current anti-constitutional crime spree or you don't, and if you do, impeachment is the unavoidable implication.
Yes, I'm taking the first step towards Noem's impeachment.
I demand a full investigation into Secretary Noem's unlawful actions and unethical behavior. The people will have accountability.

I love the way they pop up to stare—as interested in me as I am in them.
These are gray/grey seals, a female on the left and male on the right. (Easy to ID because of their different head shapes.)

But that won’t stop me bringing you your 3 minutes of peace & calm!

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Everyone’s gonna die someday. Trump may die sooner, and when he does, I worry there will be a genuine explosion of violence by people who will be enraged by the celebrations, a deepening of the rift.
