Eggshell fine means that I’m ok, but delicate. Like the pieces of me are here and assembled, but could fly apart at any moment. So nobody prank me. Now let’s do this.
First up, from Teen Vogue, via Antler Queen: “Chuck Schumer Is Pushing Young People Away From the Democratic Party With His Toothless Leadership.” I continue to be super-impressed with their journalism. https://tinyurl.com/2s3h2tb5
Another outlet who has been doing bang-up work is Wired. Here’s a great article, and the hearing is today “DOGE Is Trying to Gift Itself a $500 Million Building, Court Filings Show.” Basically, the DOGEbags kicked the United States Institute of Peace out of their building because 1) they’re DOGEbags and 2) they wanted the building for themselves. Judge Beryl Howell will decide about the building tomorrow. A ruling on the rest of the case about USIP is due out at the end of April. https://tinyurl.com/4e3h47jj
Sen. Cory Booker took the Senate floor at 7pm last night, from Talking Points Memo. “Inside Cory Booker’s Plan To Disrupt ‘Business As Usual’ On The Senate Floor” The article opens: “”A member of the U.S. Senate took the floor at 7:00 p.m. on Monday evening — and he doesn’t plan on leaving it any time soon. In a text message to TPM, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said he was about to begin speaking for as long as he could stand.”
“I am disrupting business as usual,” Booker told TPM. “I am not allowing us to just carry on with the expected order of the Senate.”” Wonder how long he’s going to last. Strom Thurmond lasted 24 hours 18 minutes filibustering against the Civil Rights Act of 1957. God damn, go Sen. Booker!! https://tinyurl.com/5end29e5
There’s my three. I find myself looking for independent sources of news. About as mainstream as I get is The Guardian, but I don’t like their anti-transness. What other sources have you found out there? Don’t threaten Mayor McSquirrel or anyone else.
