Ever see someone on the train you lost touch with years ago but you consciously avoid them instead of saying hi and reconnecting because you don’t have time to deal with all that today
PabloReports: How do you define belt to ass?
Ojeda: That’s exactly what it is. I grew up in a place where if you did the wrong things, you got your belt to ass.
Some of y’all need to lawyer up.
its not lost on me that there're always plenty of absentees when its time to do the bidding of the masses, but can you imagine a world where hakeem failed to whip votes for a funding bill for israel?!?!
@Kairu_Kilofski@TrueSizeOfMaps What does that have to do with the modern State of Israel? The State of Israel is not a continuation of the Kingdoms of Judah or Israel.
My favorite thing about Westlaw is how it takes 4 minutes for every page to load after you sign in, but if you step away for 30 seconds you have to sign in all over again.
There is an overwhelming body of scientific evidence that shows that spanking harms kids.
If you support spanking or hitting kids you are not just a morally awful person but anti-science and the equivalent of an anti-vaxxer or climate change denier.
This Hegseth vote opened at 5:30 pm. Some members have cited traffic produced by some incident near the Capitol as the reason they missed it, but @JulianAndreone was there at the time and saw nothing impeding traffic.
Interestingly, the PAC Elect Democratic Women (EDW) was having a “new member reception” from 4:30-6:30 pm.
If you followed the primaries closely, you know EDW’s offshoot, EDW Action Fund, served as one of the major pass-throughs for AIPAC money, so it’s a very important organization.
If you were at this reception and saw any truant members of Congress, signal is in bio for me and Julian.
Very fun scooplet: AOC delivered a UMich-themed Diet Coke tower to Debbie Dingell this afternoon
Dingell was pretty much running on Diet Coke during the campaign cycle
Rep.-Elect Chevalier: I really do support a pathway to citizenship for all people. I think that’s the only way to have a dignified immigration system.
I always have questions about how we’re doing that to make sure it’s actually dignified for immigrant communities. As someone who grew up as the daughter of immigrants and grew up watching my parents navigate the system, I always want to make sure that it is supportive to people of all socioeconomic classes, all national origins, and that we’re making sure we have true dignity for all in our immigration system.
