To everyone who voted for this radical jihadist freak show of a candidate: don't come crying to us rational people when widespread antisemitism, food insecurity, and a total breakdown of public safety come to your doorstep.
Here's hoping that @realDonaldTrump will be willing to send in federal enforcement before he can do too much damage.

Don't you *dare* say that the law school from which Inna Vernikov purchased her degree has the lowest ranking from US News and has a 31% bar passage rate.
It *had* that ranking and passage rate until due to lack of compliance and loss of accreditation, that diploma mill shuttered in 2021.

It's not good news at all. It's just 100% lies spread by dirtbags who want to harm this country with disinformation, sowing confusion.
That judge has issued no orders, and said none of the things that shitty liar claims he did. None of it ever happened, and you ought not to help spread those lies.

One more Harry post
While his bigwig friends and other swells were on Park Ave, filling St. Bartholomew's Church for his formal funeral, a very different kind of memorial—a people's memorial—to him spread across Midtown (truly).
Here's an excerpt about it from E12 of my limited series on his life:

The First and Final Task
Steinbeck reminds us only fear is frightful, and that a memorial to Harry Hopkins is chiseled in the most enduring material, The Idea
Here is Steinbeck's full eulogy for Harry.
Note: the two-sentence all caps at the end of that brilliantly written text isn't from Steinbeck; it's a quote from Harry.

Periodic reminder that a member’s resignation does not invalidate their signature on a discharge petition:

No, the resignation of a signatory to a discharge petition does not invalidate that signature.

People really hate this shit, & the No Kings protests filled w/ grannies & your coworkers are far, far more reflective of the national mood than any stupid ass Trump caravan you've seen or, for that matter, the asshole in the diner you keep reading about, & the media should finally cover it that way

A quicker (easier? 🤔 🤷♂️) one:
What box office smash and huge critical and audience hit comedy/drama has a cast, a writer, and a director who have—cumulatively, to date—*no* Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony, or BAFTA noms or wins, and only two GG noms (one for a film) and no GG wins?
(No cheating 🙂)

Carolirene@carolirene75.bsky.social 4h
So, here's the breakdown - Speaker Mike Johnson just got torched in court, and the fallout is hitting MAGA hard. A federal judge slammed Johnson for abusing his power after he refused to swear in Arizona's newly elected Democrat, Adalita Ghalva. The judge didn't mince words, calling Johnson's actions "constitutionally indefensible" - a phrase you almost never hear from the bench. By blocking her seat, Johnson left over 800,000 Arizonans without representation, and now the court has ordered that to end immediately.
Bullshit-spreading dirtbag @carolirene75.bsky.social blocked me for revealing their misinformation, so here's their false post:

Powell held th the House couldn't add a qualification to those the Constitution enumerates to exclude a Rep.-elect, but that didn't change the House's exclusive constitutional authority to judge elections and returns. The House may make the final determination of who was "duly elected."

The Court couldn't have ordered the House to seat Powell because his term had expired by the time of the opinion.

That's not what Powell held. The Court said the House couldn't *add* a qualification in order to exclude a Rep.-elect.
But the House has exclusive constitutional authority to judge its elections and returns, and to make the final determination (which it must do while it is in session).

Powell doesn't apply, for two reasons:
1. It held the House could not add a qualification in order to exclude a Rep.-elect, but it didn't hold that the rest of A1S5 is invalid; the House has exclusive authority to judge its elections and returns.
2. The House hasn't voted to exclude her.

It's from a grifting YouTube account with AI-generated videos. Would be great if many people reported it for spreading misinformation.

I've traced this specific set of lies to an AI-generated video from a troll's YouTube channel started less than a month ago but that already has 39K subscribers and almost 3M views.
It's worth reporting this lying sack of shit to YT for spreading misinformation.

The Speaker has no such authority.
The only way anyone else may officially administer the oath is if the House votes either to approve someone else or allow the Speaker to designate a deputy to administer it. No one else may, nor ever has.
05.11.2025 01:13 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0
Yes, it's false. The judge never said any of it, nor issued any such order.
(Moreover, I think the lawsuit has little chance of success.)

Just as a general suggestion: you won't ever find such a significant news story—one you don't see anywhere else—broken by an anonymous account with >25k followers that's following >25k accounts.

The 218th signature will simply allow the process to move the bill forward to begin; it won't release the files. And that process will likely end in failure, unfortunately.
