Sen Fetterman
"Thankfully, the nation's lower chamber lives by a higher code of conduct: displaying ding-a-ling pics in public hearings"
MTG
Senate no longer enforcing a dress code to appease Fetterman is disgraceful. Dress code is a standard that sets etiquette & respect for our institutions.

"We're raising our voices," Cranston told the crowd assembled at the picket line. "We're not making them the enemy. They are not villains. These are people that we all will be working with once again at some point. We just want them to see reality & fairness and come back to the table & talk to us."

Agree.
I am so grateful to Chris and mates that I would not dare add my feelings to what they are trying to deal with.
Good on them, is all I can say.
Cheers.

#Spoutible is way past proof of concept.
This platform only works with @cbouzy in charge, so let’s all hope he’s taking care of himself while developing what could be the only bastion against bigotry on social media.

“When politicians start talking about large groups of their fellow Americans as 'enemies,' it's time for a quiet stir of alertness. Polarizing people is a good way to win an election, and also a good way to wreck a country.”

I’m a customer service agent who makes about $15 an hour. I’m required to take an annual training course and sign a statement that I won’t accept extravagant gifts from vendors & I am absolutely livid that I’m held to a higher standard than a Supreme Court Justice.

I had to turn npr off yesterday when they went on about Biden’s low approval rating from March, and people unhappy with the Biden economy…sounded like a fox news story. This on the day where Biden announced over $40 Billion in investments to improve life for all Americans.

King of Kompromat - by Noel Casler - Noel's Notes
People think of Donald Trump as a real estate developer, a casino owner and a grifter-politician concerned more with his own profits than the future of democracy, or the well-being of the American people. And of course all of those resume points are real - along with money laundering for the Russian..

GOP billionaires and their Supreme Court judges friends. What could possibly go wrong – with …
The private jet travel.
The luxury fishing vacations.
Private home stays.
Expensive restaurants (caviar optional).
