Usha Vance, Karoline Leavitt and Katie Miller are all pregnant. How nice for them that they live in Washington DC, where no matter what horrible issues with their babies could happen, they’d get the healthcare they need. Including an abortion if it should become necessary. Hope they appreciate it.

Heather is correct.
Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Heather is correct.
Every day is a good day to hope that next time Rep Tom Emmer goes in for a prostate exam he looks into the eyes of a Somali doctor. With long fingers. I said what I said.

This is true.
I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

Do you know any elementary teachers? This is a must-read for them. We have to get a grip on teaching reading in this country! We can get there.
For children who can’t read, every school day holds the potential for repeated humiliation. “You are experiencing massive confusion, and it is actually fucking frightening,” a journalist who has covered literacy for a decade said. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/yLemWd

Proven methods for teaching the readers who struggle most have been known for decades. Why do we often fail to use them?

Mr. Rubio, a sans serif font like Calibri or Arial is much cleaner for screen reading. Switching back to Times New Roman is not helpful, since the majority of reading is done on screens (e.g., phones, tablets) these days. Playing the DEI card is petty and silly.

I had to look up “the fog of war.” Here’s the meaning (AI generated): “a military term for the uncertainty, confusion, and lack of clarity soldiers and commanders face in battle due to incomplete information, enemy deception, chaos, and friction.”

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
