BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

I love this soooo much for them.

Black Women Sweep Local Elections in Small Towns Millennial candidates made sweeping gains in rural towns and small cities — making history and achieving several firsts.

As the nation focused on New York City’s mayoral election and gubernatorial races in New Jersey & Virginia, there was an intergenerational movement of Black people, particularly millennial women, in small cities & rural towns shaking up local elections, too.

Look at what this garish, classless, tasteless fool has done to the People’s House.

Man's said if FEMA can use the Waffle House Storm index well then...

Archbishop Paul Coakley Is Picked to Lead American Bishops “We face a growing worldview that is so often at odds with the Gospel mandate to love thy neighbor,” the group said in a letter to Pope Leo.

Roman Catholic bishops in the U.S. chose new leaders on Tuesday. The new president is an archbishop from Oklahoma City who issued a statement two days after President Trump’s inauguration calling on Catholics to remember that Jesus was once a refugee, and to support immigrant families.

A US aircraft carrier strike group with more than 5,000 service members has joined the eight US warships, nuclear submarine, and F-35 aircraft positioned in the Caribbean near Venezuela.

Chicago! Thanksgiving Eve people went out, I'm middle aged now so I don't what the youngins do these days.

The different between the right and centrists is that the right gleefully kills millions of people and centrists present mass murder as a technical solution, like they added up all the numbers and carried a zero and oops, sorry, millions have to die.

To be a U.S. Senator is to be an institutionalist. Even Bernie Sanders cares more about his role and friendships in the senate than he does about his ideological project. If ideology came first he would lead the charge on ousting Schumer. But that’s his friend.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

thinking back to when eric cantor got knocked out in a primary in 2014

Folks: The pardons are almost certainly focused on GA (they include a number of people implicated ONLY in GA), where the state will soon decide whether to appoint someone to take over the case.

They should be meaningless, but Cleta Mitchell (a key ringleader in GA and still) wanted them anyway.

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

I'm deeply sorry to everyone who is going to suffer for this. Truly, truly sorry.

Cowards die many times before their deaths,
The valiant never taste of death but once.

Apropos of my last post. Told y'all.

I don't know when I'll write it up, but among the things Rudy Giuliani got pardoned for is destroying the lives of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

Also, if you all unconditionally support Democrats, fascism will always rise. They’re not here to stop fascism, they’re here to stop you.

I just want remind y'all James Carville and his ilk were crowing a few months back that Trump administration was so awful that the Dems really wouldn't need to work hard at getting voters back in the midterms. They took his advice, performative opposition.

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

Sunday: Trump applauds the resignation of Beeb execs bc Panorama truthfully said that Trump encouraged rioters.

Monday: Trump pardons over 50 of his co-conspirators and enablers in attempting to steal the 2020 election.

There's one example of a successful hostile takeover of a major party - Donald Trump - and it didn't happen by playing nice with the party bigwigs. Trump went to war with them, humiliated them. And now "Little Marco" works for him.

Chuck Schumer: The Worst Possible Democratic Leader at the Worst Possible Time The soon-to-be top elected Democrat might as well have been grown in a lab to be exactly the wrong face for opposition to Donald Trump.

After the 2016 election, I wrote this, about how Chuck Schumer was the worst possible Democratic leader at the worst possible time. He still is! theintercept.com/2016/11/14/c...
