Today, we honor the life of Jimmy Carter, a man who dedicated himself to serving others. From his military service to his presidency and his tireless humanitarian efforts, he embodied selflessness and compassion. His heart matched the greatness of his legacy. Rest in peace, President Carter.

This Speaker vote should remind all of us that literally nothing Republicans try to do will be easy, or a foregone conclusion. And often, they are going to have to come to Democrats to enact anything at all. We have lost power but we are not powerless.

Not the biggest news today, but still worth noting: in the 119th Congress, Alabama will have two Black U.S. representatives serving together for the first time in history. This didn't happen during Reconstruction. It took nearly 60 years after the Voting Rights Act, and lengthy litigation.

The sad reality is, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't know there's a voter for the Speaker going on, don't care & won't be able to name him after the vote. This is what happens in a country where civics education is no longer universal. Its absence lets darkness settle in over democracy.

Related to the conversation about the CEO’s assassination, I posted this just ten days ago. Again, I’m not justifying violence but reminding folks that, historically speaking, businessmen and billionaires who screw over ordinary people wind up reaping the whirlwind.

The House voted 204-198 to block release of the Gaetz ethics report. All Dems present voted to release, along with Republican Tom McClintock of CA. Every other Republican present voted to keep Gaetz's violations covered up. Again, Gaetz is accused of sex trafficking and statutory rape.

I've often pondered the fact that when I became a US Attorney, I had to stop selling the occasional skein of hand-dyed yarn on Etsy (I'm a knitter for those of you who don't know me) to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest. That seems quaint & laughable now.

Assuming all fanfiction is written poorly really just shows you've never been caught in the chokehold of a 150k slowburn that changed the course of your life at 2:40am written by someone whose username has 4 Zs in it and they only wrote one fic and then vanished like an ethereal legend.

I will guarantee that Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development will once again be an African American because he saw it had "urban" in the title. That's how Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon with no experience in urban policy, wound up heading it the last time around.
