Dark Pence is back.

NEW: Judge Dale Ho has concluded the hearing in Mayor Eric Adamsā€™ case. The short of it: Emil Bove & Adams denied the existence of a quid pro quo. An interesting argument from Bove: he claims Ho canā€™t stop the dismissal even if there WAS a quid pro quo. Judge will issue his ruling soon.

Stop texting me and asking for money. Not another dime until I see some backbone. Reps like AOC and Crockett canā€™t be the only ones throwing themselves in front of threats and bulls**t. If Ted Cruz can shut down the government, maybe try something other than a mewling post? LEAD.

This is fine.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

And say hello to the banning of mifepristone and a national abortion ban in three, two, oneā€¦ Every time I see him I just remember heā€™s the loser who couldnā€™t get laid.

Another FBI leader standing up for the rule of law ā€œToday, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy."

Trump to sign order to use GuantĆ”namo Bay to house migrants - The Wall Street Journal At its peak occupancy, Gitmo housed around 800. It will take more take more than some ā€œupgradesā€ to house 50,000. Unless you donā€™t care about human decency. But who are we kidding?

Ends funding for schools that teach critical race theory, (which no one does), prioritizes funding for school choice, in order to gut public schools and deprive them of dollars, and will direct state on how to do block grants to support non-public schools as well.

Somehow, 22-year veteran IG of the Dept of Agriculture was, to paraphrase the White House statement, "a rogue, partisan bureaucrat who has been relieved of their duties in order to make room for qualified individuals who will uphold the rule of law and protect Democracy."

DJT: A gender identity not an individualā€™s sex conflicts with a soldierā€™s commitment to an honorable, truthful, disciplined lifestyle, even in oneā€™s personal life" Does Pete Hegseth have ā€œa soldierā€™s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in oneā€™s personal life?

That orange creature and his minions do not believe in our Constitution or the separation of powers, both of which protect us all from Kings, Despots, or Tyrants. Clear discussion below. Civics Class anyone???
