I'm thrilled to see that the @nowthisnews feature on Ruth Bryan Owen & women's independent citizenship has posted. It was a lot of fun to talk RBO & citizenship. https://t.co/HIc1pJHbS3

Every time a prosecutor asks for a continuance because they have shown up on the day of trial without any witnesses, I point out that we have a specific statute that says they don't get the continuance.

Not one time has it persuaded the judge.

@JJ9828 Yes please!

I cannot stress enough what you're signing onto by staying on this site after tomorrow. This is just one piece of the new Terms of Service. You've agreed to let Musk SUE YOU FOR MONEY for violating the terms of service no one reads.

Historian of Reconstruction and I approve of this message.

Indeed. But I’d add, as a very friendly amendment, it isn’t just the Senate’s constitutional authority— but their constitutional duty— to advise and consent. Deference is important. But absolute obedience is an abdication of their responsibility.

By popular demand, here is my original translated clip from 2022, where Tulsi Gabbard was perturbed about alleged US attempts to overthrow Putin. State TV host Vladimir Solovyov described Tulsi as their "girlfriend" and agreed that she is Putin's agent.

Billionaire oligarchs are dumping stocks. Jeff Bezos has sold $12.5 billion of Amazon shares. Warren Buffett has dumped Apple stock and is sitting on $325 billion in cash.

We're likely at the end of the biggest financial bubble in history. They clearly think it's about to pop.

Rep. Joe Moody files bill to decriminalize homosexuality, which is currently a misdemeanor in Texas. #txlege

With Trump months away from taking office, immigrant rights advocates are urgently calling on Biden to protect DACA recipients, extend TPS, release non-priority immigrants from detention, and rescind lingering rules from Trump I. @immcouncil

Hello post-mortem analysts,
The fact that Europe is having a historic "America, Hold My Beer Moment" should perhaps alert you to the fact that some of the issues that brought us Trump 2.0 may not, in fact, be limited to the U.S. . . .

This is misleading. It was created in 1867. It became a bureau & operated within the Departments of the Interior, Health Education & Welfare, Health & Human Services, and the Federal Security Agency before being made an independent cabinet-level department in 1979.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Joe Biden is president. The Democrats have a majority in the Senate. They should confirm all of these nominees - as the Republican Senate confirmed Trump's judicial nominees, including Aileen Cannon, after he lost in 2020.

[Anthony Michael Kreis, FRHistS @AnthonyMKreis]

This is dictatorial stuff.

FYI we don’t need a Department of Government Efficiency. We already have one.

@USGAO - the Government Accountability Office (GAO, est. 1921) - saves $133 for every $1 of funding it receives! If all GAO recommendations were implemented, the financial benefit could be >$200 bil.

The largest worksite raid in history, at a meatpacking plant in MS in 2018, led to 680 arrests. It took dozens of agents, months of planning, thousands of man-hours, and likely cost several million bucks.

Keep that in mind when the administration starts touting splashy numbers.

Paxton is probably out in the street right now yelling "what additional crimes do I need to commit to warrant serious consideration for AG?" And the answer is, apparently, sex trafficking.

A North Carolina woman with a genetic disorder that creates serious fetal anomalies wrote to state Sen. Danny Britt about how the state's ban prevents her from expanding her family.

He wrote back: "I suggest you move to China immediately and see how that works out for you."
