We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

I'd go further back to when we let a classroom full of kindergarteners be killed and we did nothing about gun control.

Jackson library moves 37 books as director warns of 'slippery slope' in censorship The Jackson-Madison County Library Board moved 37 young adult books to the adult section after a citizen request.

"They proposed solutions such as building walls around the 18 & up literature section and requiring ID checks or keypad entry to access it."

Teens at Jackson-Madison Library (TN) can drive themselves to the library but cannot browse adult sections w/o permission.

Soon after becoming F.B.I. director last February, Mr. Patel beefed up staffing in Nashville, where Ms. Wilkins lives, then assigned a SWAT team composed of four agents and two vehicles to protect her full-time, said an F.B.I. official briefed on the plans. Mr. Patel overrode F.B.I. advice that such an unprecedented arrangement first undergo a legal review, the official said.

Past directors’ spouses were protected while traveling with them, but did not get a personal government detail.

I went to the protest by myself and I was talking to a few people around me. One man said: 'I sincerely hope that China doesn't start bombing Los Angeles to free us from our fascist regime.' - Everyone was extremely solemn at that comment.

Donald Trump was never antiwar MAGA's critique of globalism always left room for conflict.

The right likes to pretend that President Donald Trump is antiwar. This has always been more useful delusion than fact.

This is beyond a fire alarm fire, and it's the bigger than five alarm fire we have been warning about for more than five years. It would override any protections happening in your state. These books would be gone.

The goal isn't the books. Those are one piece of the bigger erasure of queer people.
