Cait Conley has the opportunity to change vaccine laws and guidance for the better. I've tallied the ways, and created a new character to exemplify what NY-17's constituents are facing: Dina.

@JoeWelcom21 @CaitforNewYork Yes. Mike Johnson's congress is a complete failure. That's why Cait won.

[Carolynn ni Lochlainn @nnyloracniloch]

@jeffreymoss25 @CaitforNewYork Yes. HE IS THE BEST DUMBASS. Few dumbasses are better than Pete Hegseth. Though you're definitely in the running.

@TweetyB14080354 @CaitforNewYork She is a WINNER; she beat Mike Lawler like a gong.

@CaitforNewYork Now that Republicans showed their cowardice in voting Massie's articles down, I hope that you'll have a chance to help draft new ones!! Can't wait to see you face-plant him. He has blood on his hands.

@UsVotes @MonseyPolitics But Weber's obligation to serve his constituents isn't. All the sour grapes in the world don't change his job description: an employee of the people. He's been fired for cause, but he still has to work off his notice. We don't pay @SenatorWeber to shirk his responsibilities.

@MaddyRosen_ @lawler4ny @CaitforNewYork Y'all beat that money and proved that NY-17 wants more than ads and yard signs and cruelty and neglect. I am psyched to see a promise to the district become representation and action against this kind of corruption. But first, I hope you all get some sleep. LFG!

A security agent for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just warned the reporters here — for Hegseth’s first press conference in 6 months — that we will be physically removed from the briefing room if we are not professional and maintain decorum. We asked if that meant no shouted questions and got no clarity. It’s the first time any of us could ever remember being threatened like this. Shouted questions are normal. “This is crazy town” one journalist said, noting the White House has never threatened reporters like that. We’re in the room, back row:

Listen to this. And then listen again. And again. Until you get it.

If it weren't for cats, the world would be truly boring.
They’re better than politicians. 😂

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jamie Raskin just went on live TV and made clear that it is REPUBLICANS who have turned the government into an apparatus of retribution. Every time Republicans scream about RETRIBUTION, it's an admission. Make sure every American sees this.

@MonseyPolitics I hear the crackle of Confederate money. Weber's office should be taking care of constituents until Rand is in office. The combined stench of sour grapes and flop sweat is oppressive.

Jared Kushner's father paid $25,000 to have a prostitute seduce his sister's husband on a hidden camera. Then he had the sex tape mailed to his sister.

His sister had been cooperating with federal investigators looking into his taxes and campaign donations. Charles Kushner, a wealthy New Jersey real estate developer, wanted leverage.

According to the FBI complaint, the men he hired couldn't find a woman willing to do it. So Kushner personally recruited a call girl in New York and promised her $7,000 to $10,000.

She met the brother-in-law outside a diner and said her car had broken down. The next day, a hidden camera in her motel room recorded them having sex.

Kushner watched the tape in a conference room at his office and "expressed satisfaction," the complaint says. He asked for copies with her face pixelled out, and still photos.

He tried the same thing on another witness, a former employee, and advanced $10,000 to $12,000 for it. That man turned the woman down twice.

In May 2004 he ordered the tape mailed to his sister and to her children, timed to arrive right before a family party. The investigator he hired talked him out of sending it to the kids. His sister opened the envelope and gave it to federal agents.

In the video below, Chris Christie, the US attorney who prosecuted him, says it was her son's engagement party, one Kushner was going to attend. He calls him "the most disgusting defendant" he prosecuted in his seven years there.

Kushner pleaded guilty and got 2 years. In 2020, Trump pardoned him. In 2025, the Senate confirmed him as US ambassador to France, 51-45.

At his hearing he said: "I made a very, very, very serious mistake." And: "There's only one accountant I trust that I believe in, and it's God."

Should a man who did this to his own sister represent America in Paris, or did 2 years in prison settle it?

@hakeemjeffries We told you what we want - new blood, no compromise, absolute justice through all legal and legislative options and avenues. Please respect the Democratic voters' will and step aside from the speakership. We need action, not business as usual.

@BigRedCeltTT There's more to the story's setting. He's part of a larger picture of corruption.
