Arguably the most fateful decision Mitch McConnell made was to not reconvene the Senate Jan. 13, 2021 to hold the impeachment trial of Trump while he was still in office.

McConnell later voted it was unconstitutional to try Trump after he left office when he had blocked the trial before he left.

For the unaware, French Response is France’s Foreign Ministry’s official English-language counter-disinformation X account. Fascinating.

MAGA Man tries to beat up high school kids. Emphasis on *tries*. :)

Epstein Gave $225,000 More to Hasty Pudding Than Previously Known | News | The Harvard Crimson The Hasty Pudding Institute of 1770 received at least $225,000 more in donations from convicted sex offender Jeffrey E. Epstein than was previously known, according to documents released by the Depart...

I think it's fair to say that nearly every corner of Harvard has been indirectly or directly impacted by E*stein.

From student groups to faculty appointments to research funding, you can't point to one single thing because there isn't one single thing. There are many things. A system if you will.

“Unfortunately we learned this after the fact” haha GROSS MAN, GROSS

I worked on a small dairy farm for a summer in high school and the amount of seriously hard work it took to keep things as clean as possible was astronomical

How do you look at a herd of cattle and go “yup, this’ll be easy”

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Krasner should have more of a national rep than he does: he’s very very good

Accountability for ICE and CBP However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

"For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States."

Motherfucker was doing Crack and hitting figueora like a real man not some freaky pedo

Shoutout to Fig here is excellent.

It’s not a lapse in journalistic neutrality to use one tone when reporting on a man whose lies helped inspire a deadly pogrom, and a somewhat different tone when profiling a man who has recorded a hit novelty Christmas song. So next time, do that.

So on x Milo exposed a famous right wing conservative as not only a closeted bisexual, but the person he was having an affair with was using Catholicism as a hammer to call other conservative influencers slurs, and he all but said he has proof that CPAC is Eyes Wide Open for conservatives

i think some really, really thought they'd be some great, end-times "socialism or barbarism" choice - that weak, effeminate liberalism would fall away all together & as that clearly just hasn't happened they struggle to let the fantasy go

Minneapolis Council committee delays liquor licenses for 2 hotels over hosting federal agents The City Council will hold a public hearing on the liquor licenses for the Canopy by Hilton in the Mill District and Depot Renaissance Hotel.

A Minneapolis City Council committee delayed action Tuesday on renewing liquor licenses for two Minneapolis hotels that have housed federal immigration officers.

*Drank raw milk in pregnancy*

Good lord. You have MAHA demonizing vaccines and Tylenol when they love them some raw milk, and this is the shit that's actually dangerous.

““They’re both sick right now,” Gutierrez said. “She has no access to any medical care.” Elizabeth has flu-like symptoms, while her mom has broken out in hives, Gutierrez said. Neither has been given any medicine or testing — a particular concern given the measles cases in the facility.” She is 10

Lorde donates merchandise proceeds from Minneapolis shows to immigrant rights groups Pop singer Lorde will donate money she made on merchandise sales from her sold-out Minneapolis shows last fall to two Minnesota immigrant rights groups, she shared in a post on Instagram on Tuesday.

Damn right we object to Donald Trump’s attempt to take over our nation’s central bank.

All 11 Democrats on @banking.senate.gov are clear: until the sham criminal investigations into Fed Board members are closed, we must not move forward on any Fed nominee.

This is a mask *very* specifically associated with Atomwaffen and Nazi Terrorgram (as OP notes downthread)

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.

There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

French Response * @FrenchResponse X.com Investigating child sexual abuse material isn't controversial. Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn't fl in France. Elon Musk & X @elonmusk • 3h This is a political attack

My apologies to France, I was not familiar with your game.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Oregon 7-year-old and parents arrested at ER still held in ICE center in Texas Lawmakers and lawyers are working to get the family, which has a pending asylum claim, released.

Bring them back! www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March

ICE agent wearing skull mask that is usually associated with the neo Nazi atomwaffen group

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

I am calling on @icegov.bsky.social Director Todd Lyons to immediately confirm or deny the existence of a “domestic terrorist” database. If true, you’re violating the Constitution. If not, maybe talk to your “border czar” to get your stories straight. This isn’t a game–it’s the Constitution.

Suddenly the press is very uninterested in the sexual proclivities of a President.
