I can't believe that Rudi not already in jail, or has handed over what his belongings to Freeman and Moss. How is it that a person with a platform can ruin someone's life, and then spend years avoiding any accountability? It's terrible what happened to those women.

FWIW, it’s like the last few days so much has been touched on here one wonders whether we were blind or blinded to a lot of stuff and are just having our eyes opened or what.

Anyway.

TBH, I have no interest in the House Rs’ stress in choosing a speaker so much as I wonder whether Jeffries has anything important or helpful in dealing with the Rs’ super thin majority. Of course, past/prologue there’s no reason for any sort of optimism. Still, that’s where my congressional focus (limited as it is) is.

No.1 Beltway story that few in the rest of Murka give two fucks about: The election of the House Speaker.

Madison knew the House would be fractured by "interests." That's why the Federalists placed their emphasis on the Senate (chosen by state legislators until 1918), the Court, the presidential veto, the ban on state currency creation, the supremacy of federal law. This was even before the subterranean construction of the imperial military intelligence state.
