.U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D., I'm not a doctor, so I'll simply pose the question: Can the effects of someone using heroin for 14 yrs – esp starting in the mid-teens, before a person's brain is fully developed – manifest in adulthood as diminished reasoning ability & judgement? #Cassidy

Chip Roy And after Reagan cut taxes in 1981, he decided in 1982 he'd cut them too much, so he raised them part way back up – because even Reagan realized, sometimes in order to address the deficit, one of the right things to do is raise taxes. Signed, Republican Hill staffer at the time

"Ugh." "They're selling underwear! They shouldn't show a man wearing it?" "But with not even a schmekel?" "So you think they should have a big shvantz in there…" "At least something." "… when what they're selling has the world's biggest schmuck printed right on the front?"

This is the substance of the felony charge against CA SEIU President David Huerta. Pam Bondi's DOJ says that BANGING ON A GATE with one other guy was a conspiracy to intimidate an armed ICE team standing behind a 7-foot steel wall to get them to stop doing their job.

Shawn Hendrix But that's LAPD making arrests... and Trump hasn't yet tried to federalize them. You know, the Police Dept in the City of Los Angeles, the place where the mayor is still Karen Bass. Looters should be arrested & prosecuted regardless, but facts are facts. x.com/TheShawnHendri…

"prioritizes consumer protection _and_ American innovation" 🤔 I'm not a zero-sum kinda guy, but mark me skeptical about that as a combo here.

John Kerry once asked "Who wants to be the last man to die for a mistake?" On Wednesday, there will be the millionth Russian soldier to become a casualty in order for Russia to only partially occupy four Ukrainian oblasts after 3 and 1/3 years of a planned 3-day operation.

Pete Hegseth told Congress the military’s new “warrior ethos” is focused on “war fighting” and “lethality.” I'm worried about what's going to happen when Trump orders Marines to kill citizens for defying him. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace #ICEProtests

👀 Appeals court splits 2-1 to deny Sen. Menendez bail pending appeal. Judge Alison Nathan, a Biden appointee to the Second Circuit, would have granted the motion.

Kyle Cheney Josh Gerstein DOJ's assertion that California's Adjutant General is "the State Commander in Chief" is just wrong. For example, CA's Constitution explicitly states, "THE GOVERNOR is commander in chief of a militia" – ie, of California's National Guard. It's as if DOJ just makes things up.
