A great example of this is Punchbowl repeatedly leaking out verbatim quotes against Tommy Tuberville from internal Senate GOP lunches when McConnell et al were aggressively trying to talk Tuberville off his military promotion holds (which he was placing as an objection to the Biden DOD giving more taxpayer funded leave for abortions than for bereavement). Followed by Politico leaking an email from a Tuberville staffer in an attempt to discredit him and his boss. That’s all intentional. It’s not “reporting.” It’s campus “journalists” placing themselves into the drama and acting as regime scribes with the specific goal of helping the conference leadership.
On this day in 1846 (180 years ago): The Donner Party of pioneers departs Independence, Missouri for California, on what will become a year-long journey of hardship and cannibalism.
Today California leaves the torture and human sacrifice for when ypu get there
On this day in May 413 (1613 years ago): Emperor Honorius signs an edict providing tax relief for the Italian provinces Tuscia, Campania, Picenum, Samnium, Apulia, Lucania and Calabria, which were plundered by the Visigoths.
Visigoth is early Italian for "Democratic Party"
On this day in May 1886 (140 years ago): Pharmacist John Pemberton first sells a carbonated beverage named "Coca-Cola" as a patent medicine.
Secret ingredient?
One of the few traditionally illegal substances that hasn't been legalized yet
The talking filibuster isn't nuking the filibuster -- and letting the Senate deliberate is the only way to save it. Here's part of my debate with @baseballcrank on @henryolsenEPPC's podcast, Conservative Crossroads.
“Election integrity is foundational to a Republic.”
As SFCN’s LA state director @conniehair points out in @TPostMillennial, our legislators are EXACTLY right to demand the Senate use every rule at its disposal to get the SAVE America Act to @potus’ desk & pass minimum safeguards for our elections. https://t.co/lgFgvRtxYT
In a town where honor is rare and the national interest is dismissed as a low-rent distraction from what “really matters” (war/corporate welfare), my friend Justin Ouimette stands with @rachelbovard’s heroic crusade to save the Republic. Worth reading and sharing 👇🏻
The best part of people realizing that a filibuster can be exhausted and legislation passed at 51 votes using rules already in place that have long existed, and without nuking the filibuster, is that people will realize that McConnell and his crew had the ability to pass legislation and just refused to do so the whole time.
Anyone who has been paying attention to this wretched news cycle recognizes that the exodus to AAF is one of the best things to happen to Heritage in the past six months.
After @SenSchumer threatened Supreme Court justices there have been multiple attempts on their lives.
Now he is threatening a government employee for doing his job
People wondering how this shutdown will go should look at the 2013 shutdown - it's the one that most closely resembles this one based on the politics. Democrats should consider that, and immediately get on board with a clean CR. Ends very poorly for them if they don't.
