It wasn’t fair to stop at 5 so here’s some more… 🧵
Republican Rep. Luna: “According to the files we saw, Ghislaine Maxwell was engaged in trafficking and rape of young women. Potentially children. I don’t think she deserves any special treatment. She’s a monster.”
(From @acyn.bsky.social )
“There are definitely folks implicated and co-conspirators”
Republican Rep. Boebert just saw some of the unredacted files, does not believe Ghislaine Maxwell deserves leniency
(From @pabloreports.bsky.social )
Yep, we have our bail money ready for when the time comes.

okay it always pays to do random searches for bands you love bc sometimes you'll find a 90 minute live show from 2024 filmed for Chinese tv??!?
there's a lot of mellow stuff from their later albums, but enough Wall of Distortion to make it well worth checking out, HELL yeah!

I know votes on legislative packages often involve cross-cutting considerations, and members of Congress will have to weigh those. But if I were a member of Congress, I don’t believe I could vote for any appropriation bill that funded DHS without requiring changes in ICE and CBP practices.
“This is the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and from my vantage point this looks like a Boston Massacre, an event that can galvanize public opinion.”

Trump doesn't realize other countries have politics too. They notice when he tries his childish dominance games on their leader.
Attorney General Tish James
"Courage is resistance to fear."
That last part though. 🇺🇸
You'll have to read it in ALL CAPS JVL voice.
Or Cletus voice. ymmv.
What happens if habeas corpus is suspended and all Americans are in danger of arbitrary punishment?
A growing number of judges say Trump's ongoing legal fights are existential for all Americans’ fundamental rights, not just those of immigrants.
Clearly, they’re right.
“Former U.S. officials said the [2025] U.S.-Ukraine dialogue about deportations was unusual and not part of any routine diplomatic correspondence.” 🫢 From today’s blockbuster @washingtonpost.com report — reposting it now in gift. I hope you read it and understand the Implications wapo.st/430jcmO
What's your favorite part of the new pro-conversion therapy HHS Gender Dysphoria Report? Is it that the second bibliography entry indeed is "404 Not Found," or that Singal was cited REPEATEDLY as a reason to restrict clinical trans healthcare? There is so much to dislike!!
They are trying to destroy us.
I've never been a fan of Paul Clement, but I'm honestly really happy he is taking up Judge Hannah Dugan's case. The non-Alito, non-Thomas conservatives on the court will be extremely uncomfortable siding with Trump over Clement.
“Have you even said ‘thank you?’”
JD Vance to Mark Carney (probably)
Tel Aviv…
Once again Cherokee Nation and other Oklahoma tribes are having to step in and feed non-Native children because of Kevin Stitt's refusal to accept programs that would help Oklahoma's low-income children. 😡 www.newson6.com/story/680c12...
