Politics:
It makes zero sense that you can spend trillions of dollars or give away trillions in tax cuts with 50 votes, but can't fix a broken immigration system or protect voting rights unless you have 60 votes. This is obvious, but that is somehow irrelevant in American politics. https://t.co/jjJbOQltmp

Republicans Usually Lose Government Shutdown Fights
The last quarter-century has featured an increasing number of such standoffs, with Republicans generally seeking something from a Democratic president to rein in spending. In almost every case, though, Republicans wound up bearing most of the blame, and they rarely got much in the way of concessions to show for it.
If you're Joe Biden and you're doing something according to a "Trump-era policy," stop fucking doing it.

Epik long has been the favorite Internet company of the far-right, providing domain services to QAnon theorists, Proud Boys and other instigators of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol — allowing them to broadcast hateful messages from behind a veil of anonymity.
But that veil abruptly vanished last week when a huge breach by the hacker group Anonymous dumped into public view more than 150 gigabytes of previously private data — including user names, passwords and other identifying information of Epik’s customers.

Sane Republicans Are Self-Deporting
Their political emigration is profoundly changing the face of the GOP, and it is happening at every level of politics, from local school boards to the United States Senate. Whatever the result of next year’s elections, the GOP that remains will be meaner, dumber, crazier and more beholden than ever to the defeated, twice-impeached former president.
Theory of Trump's lawsuit is as follows: “I may have defrauded @MaryLTrump out of tens of millions of dollars that she should have inherited from her father. But she never should have figured that out because of the confidentiality agreement I fraudulently induced her to sign.” https://t.co/ctpvpkfwDN
