The LAPD murdered Keenan Anderson. A beloved high school English teacher and father who FLAGGED THEM DOWN FOR HELP after a car accident. He was a threat to no one. He needed help and it cost him his life. The LAPD must be held accountable for this at all costs. #KeenanAnderson

The Israeli government is demolishing homes, schools, farms, water infrastructure, and other basic necessities in Masafer Yatta. This blatant violation of international law is unconscionable, escalating tensions and making peace more difficult.

This is important. One of the demands of the extremists was to shut the government down and not raise the debt ceiling. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen but better to be prepared.

Only God knows all the concessions McCarthy agreed to for votes. He sold the very little soul he had left without regard to the impact of letting 20 right wing extremists gain power in Congress.

The Guardian: House Republican rules changes would leave Office of Congressional Ethics without a board long enough to ensure it runs out of time to hire staff and investigate GOP, when it remains the only office that can accept complaints from the public.

House Republicans aim to rein in ethics body preparing to investigate their party
Proposed rules would curtail power of Office of Congressional Ethics just as several Republican members face likely inquiries

Just an FYI, all Congresspeople do NOT have to be there at the same time. They will trickle in when they know they are coming up on roll call. I am sure they are all watching on their phones or in their offices. They are coming.

BREAKING: Kevin McCarthy doesn’t have votes for Speaker, so he wants the House to adjourn for the day. Dems won’t support that. Kevin will lose again, in more ways than one.
