Local headline from the USA Today news service.
I’m guessing the hypocrisy is lost on the average reader.

I'd like to believe Durbin is pro-ACA <I have always voted for him> but I guess there are no worries for retention anymore. Until we take full control, healthcare in the US is just an afterthought.

I guess timely air travel is more important than healthcare and food insecurity

Dick Durban failed us at a time when we needed Dems to stick together. Centrist Dem politics are not how we manage the MAGA movement.

Looks like a bunch of Proud Boys and donning their cosplay getups.

Roy’s rhetoric uses a core tenet of authoritarian politics: replacement of democratic pluralism with religious absolutism. By saying opponents promoted Marxists and Islamists and declaring “there is a King,” he’s pushing a vision where faith is weaponized against citizenship--Christian nationalism.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

Spot on accurate.

His level of stupidity is astounding.

Free DC!

We’ve been in a constitutional crisis ever since Emil Bove <who was following orders by Prez. Grifter> told the DOJ immigration attorneys to tell the judges “Fuck You” and make sure the planes were on their way to El Salvador. Nice headline CNN but we are long past entering a constitutional crisis.

Blue whales have gone silent, and that has scientists worried A dense pool of warm water dubbed ‘The Blob’ drove unprecedented temperature increases in the Pacific Ocean, affecting the blue whale’s primary food source

Blue whales aren't singing as much, and scientists believe it's because they don't have enough to eat. Increasing ocean temps have reduced the amount of krill available for the whales to eat.

August 1, 2025 AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations Statement from the American Economic Association on the Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today. The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day. Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias. The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity. Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions. We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure. Lawrence Katz President, American Economic Association Katharine Abraham President-Elect, American Economic Association Karen Dynan Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Economic Statistics Kenneth Troske Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Government Relations

Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing

As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements

This is a big deal

I left the traditional field of law bc of this. You cannot fix a broken system if you are a cog in the broken system. It is impossible, and you end up playing politics at best, or losing yourself at worst (if the two can even be bifurcated).

Our most powerful movements have stemmed from the people.

And with all the distractions, this slimy sycophant now has a lifetime appointment to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

Throwing diversionary shit against the wall to see what sticks…

Still stuck in this stunt

Look at that smile on Sexton's face...these people are pure evil.
