A strange thing that is currently happening: the House will shortly vote on their rules of operation for this Congress, but there is apparently a 3 page addendum that is secret? I guess if one were intending to vote no, it doesn’t matter that there’s hidden content and similar if one were going to vote yes no matter what. But this sure feels wrong. Unclear when or if the addendum will be made officially available. (One member claims to have a copy, but has not shared it)

A man shot & killed a 13-year-old Black child named Karon Blake in Washington, DC—claiming he thought Karon was breaking into a car.😳 Police confirm Karon was unarmed.

Police have not yet ID’d or charged the shooter. Karon is the 426th person killed by gun violence in 2023.😓

Mastodon doesn't seem like the place to post random pictures, but I love this picture of Katie Porter too much not to share.

Ginni Thomas said she knew there was there was no evidence of voter fraud

Traitor.

We should be rallied to defend ourselves and our kids. Our leaders offer timid silence.

A reminder because I feel like many have forgotten about this.

Nancy New—who Brett Favre texted to confirm media wouldn’t find out he’s getting $5M in Mississippi welfare funds—has pled guilty to welfare fraud. She's likely going to prison.

John Davis—the former MS welfare director—has pled guilty to welfare fraud. He's likely going to prison.

So here's my question: Why isn’t Brett Favre—who was the beneficiary of that MS welfare fraud—arrested yet?

DOJ: Charge Favre & demand accountability.
