Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

Hope everyone understands how unprecedented this is for a Fed Chair to speak out on his own, trying to get ahead of the trump propaganda machine, in what is also an unprecedented attack on the Fed. If this doesn't get the financial community to wake up to the demon they helped create, what will?

Abortion will stay legal in Wyoming after the state's top court struck down laws that placed a near-total ban on the procedure.
The court ruled that Wyoming's anti-abortion legislation, including the nation's first ban on abortion pills, were in violation of the state's constitution.

Abortion stays legal in Wyoming after state's top court strikes down bans
Calling the ban unconstitutional, the court rules that a woman has a fundamental right to make her own health care decisions, including abortion.

Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Soon we’re all going to be penalized for speaking unkind words about the führer and liberals — the resistance will be labeled as “Enemies of the State” and become National Security Threats. They’re going to take away our voices if we don’t stop them.

I mean, what can we do here? Protest at their houses? Pull a Thunberg in front of the capitol? Genuinely curious
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.
12 days of work in 106 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
