Here we are! Thursday! Almost there. We’re downhill, rest of the way! Ease up on that pedal & let’s do some coasting. Look around. Maybe even stop off, for a short while, & stretch those limbs & legs. Then, let’s get going. Let’s go! Be careful. Be safe. Be beautiful. Be nice.

Be you.
Take no shit.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Be you.

We’ve watched our friends to the south face attacks on truth, rights, and basic democratic norms. Let it be clear, Canadians DO NOT stand by while democracy is pushed around!

We stand in Solidarity because Democracy isn’t just an American ideal. It’s a shared one. And we protect it together!

Defending democracy is to protect the right of every person! It’s refusing to hand our future to authoritarians who want obedience instead of freedom, chaos instead of accountability.

They want us divided, discouraged and silent.
We will give them unity, defiance, and a hell of a lot of noise!

Keystone Kash tantrum exposed in bombshell dossier on his "fucked up" FBI

Trump's FBI director is described a s"insecure" poser in a report compiled by both active-duty and retired agents

Keystone Kash tantrum exposed in bombshell dossier on his "fucked up" FBI Trump's FBI director is described a s"insecure" poser in a report compiled by both active-duty and retired agents

Kash receives a "scathing assessment" in a new report prepared for the ranking members of the House and Senate judiciary committees by active-duty and retired agents.

• insecure
• in over his head
• dismal leadership
• lacking the experience necessary

🚨Trigger Warning🚨

Men preying on women isn’t “flirting.” It’s not “attention.” It’s abuse.

Misogyny doesn’t hide itself anymore it walks right out in the open.

And we name it Predatory. We confront it! We refuse to normalize it ever!

How Brendan Boyle became Democrats’ healthcare messenger-in-chief Boyle has been the ranking member of the House Budget Committee since 2023, and is playing defense as the Republican-controlled Congress ushers through Trump's spending priorities.

Proud to share an article about my US Congressman who has consistently fought for ordinary people since he first knocked on my door when he ran for state office.

Rosa Parks sitting on the bus, refusing to give up her seat

Rosa Parks sitting on the bus, refusing to give up her seat

On this day in 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. For 381 days people boycotted the buses. They walked, carpooled and organized every single day until segregation cracked. Nothing will change today without that same resolve. Freedom isn’t granted, it's taken one step at a time. #Resist

Habba is not the Acting U.S. Attorney for the District
of New Jersey by virtue of her appointment as First Assistant
U.S. Attorney because only the first assistant in place at the
time the vacancy arises automatically assumes the functions
and duties ofthe office under the FVRA. Additionally, because
Habba was nominated for the vacant U.S. Attorney position,
the FVRA's nomination bar prevents her from assuming the
role of Acting U.S. Attorney. Finally, the Attorney General's
delegation of all the powers of a U.S. Attorney to Habba is
prohibited by the FVRA's exclusivity provision. Therefore, we
will affirm the District Court's disqualification order.

Alina Habba is not even competent as a Defence Attorney.

She has made several notable mistakes in court, including failing to follow proper procedures during cross-examination and engaging in arguments with the judge.

Her courtroom antics have raised concerns about her legal competence.
