McCarthy also tried his best to cause the government to shutdown. He brought the CR to a vote with no notice, Dems had to stall the vote just to get to the floor in time to prevent its failure. Then McCarthy went on the Sunday talk shows and blames Dems for almost shutting down the gov by not getting to the vote in time. McCarthy intentionally brought the CR to a vote the way it did thinking that if it failed he could then blame Dems for missing the vote. He just got unlucky that they got there in time to save the government.

Everyone Musk defames should sue him. Death by a thousand paper cuts.

He’s literally investigating Thomas while also trying to pass binding ethics rules on SCOTUS. The article is him saying that Thomas’ sudden late disclosures aren’t going to stop his investigation or attempts to impose ethics requirements.

Jaxxon first appeared in Star Wars #8, a comic released in 1977.

It’s like nobody ready the article. It says she’s considering challenging Kemp in a primary for Georgia Governor because he’s not defending Trump.

Edit: apparently I can read better - she wants to run against Kemp in the primary when he runs for Senate, not Governor.

It shows as Twitter in the App Store for me, but says “X” under the icon on my Home Screen.

The og Knights of the Old Republic. Got it for like $2 years ago, and once I got over the dated graphics the story blew me away. Have since rebought on mobile replay it and it’s sequel frequently.

Thank god. Reddit and Twitter were ruined by the transphobic and Nazis. Glad that isn’t tolerated here.
