Senator in 2010 deposition: 13-year-olds can consent to sex U.S. Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma testified as part of a civil case into an alleged sexual assault at the Baptist church camp he oversaw that he believed a 13-year-old can consent to sex.

Well well well

A little bit of excitement from last night. The northern lights very rarely ever make it down into central California. Had to go out and see what I could capture.

ALERT: Federal judge says she’ll rule “before Thanksgiving” on whether to dismiss James Comey and Letitia James criminal cases

After 80 minutes, arguments are complete. Hearing is wrapped

Adelita Grijalva is FINALLY sworn in and is now officially a member of Congress

I’m in!

A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

Help all the AGs and attorneys and good politicians. They are ready to make the change right now

I'm leading a group of AGs to continue our fight to defend temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants across our nation.

I will keep fighting to protect the rights of our immigrant communities from this federal administration.

So Trump says he has to “bring in” foreign talent because American workers don’t have it. I also notice he says “No YOU don’t have it, instead of WE, Americas President is a literal foreign agent

You know why. He gave them girls and boys and young women and used leverage and money to make filthy bank. That’s why.

California is advancing as a global climate leader at #COP30.

We're accelerating international cooperation and reinforcing California’s position as a reliable climate partner — especially while the Trump Administration fails to.

That’s Adelita Grijalva!! Now you all can see how strong and valiant she is. We in Tucson know—now the world will too

Grijalva: That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files. Justice cannot wait another day.

"There is a lot more." Rep. Garcia shares the DOJ is hoarding files from federal Epstein investigations. "Photographs, possibly videos, they have information we need to actually bring justice to the survivors and to implicate the wealthy and powerful men that abused and raped children and women."

Jan Rosenow @janrosenow · 15h This is truly mind-blowing: Norway has gone from near-zero sales of non‑emitting battery electric vehicles to now close to 100% of all new passenger car sales—achieved in about 13 years. What makes this transformation remarkable isn’t just the headline number, but how it happened: - Clear long‑term policy signals (tax incentives, toll exemptions, parking perks) that made EVs the rational default. - Serious charging infrastructure—fast chargers along highways and dense urban coverage—reducing range anxiety. - Collaboration across government, utilities, automakers, and consumers to remove friction at every step. - A consistent focus on total cost of ownership, not just sticker price.

Hundreds Previously Detained By ICE Could Be Released By Judge Under New Order The order could allow hundreds of immigrants to return home while the court reviews whether their arrests were unlawful.

“A federal judge is planning to release on bond hundreds of people who have been detained by federal immigration agents in Chicago since June.”

I also wonder how many were deported so quickly they never had a chance to fight it.

After 7 l-o-n-g weeks, wishing Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva, who is the 158th & final vote to release the EPSTEIN Files, a wonderful Swearing-In Day, although not everyone is all that happy about it.

#AccountabilityIsComing

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

BREAKING: Grijalva has signed the Epstein Files discharge petition. It doesn't appear that Mace or Boebert have removed their names.

"That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files" -- Rep. Grijalva

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.

I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

"Like everyone who loves books, Carson felt at once awed and aggrieved that there was more to read than could ever be read, and that to choose to read one book was to forsake the chance to read a different one."

Lovely sentiment about Rachel Carson from Souder's biography—she's clearly my kindred

His supporters starting to realize he only cares about making his and his family and fellow oligarchs bank accounts great again

A vote to release the #EpsteinFiles is expected early December!

“It’s past time for Congress to restore its role as a check and balance on this administration. That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files — justice cannot wait another day.” — Rep. Grinalva 👏
