@w7voa I thought there was a rule about holding two government positions at the same time being, ya know, illegal.
@WarnerCrocker I've really enjoyed watching an app called ground.news showcase headline discrepencies based on political affiliation (well, left vs. right leaning). Fascinating how much control these companies have on our brains.
So excited to play this - been a Civ player since I was in 7th grade - Civ 1 on a Packard Bell! https://flipboard.com/users/DigitalTrends/statuses/HxeQu9g6RNuag6In5NIP0w:a:201375877
One of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s aides warned Republicans not to subpoena former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson because doing so would likely reveal all of the sexually explicit text messages Republicans have been sending Hutchinson since 2018.

@molly0xfff great work here. These clowns are so disgusting, disinfecting light of their garbage will hopefully help.
@newrepublic you know you've crossed a line when this batch of R senators is like, whoa there nelly...
@newrepublic it ain't happenin. Nor is the amending the constitution to let him serve a third term.

@Salon @news-politics-Salon That's really not a great idea since he has no real authority here. Trump did shit like that all the time (and will again soon). While I support the ERA, it pretty clearly expired before it was properly ratified and needs to go back through it. No sense in causing confusion.
Really good video the Tailscale folks did!

I was thinking about this when they said they were moving indoors today...pretty sure it was freezing as shit when Obama got sworn in. The Orange Cheeto is so vain.

Texas Governor has no authority over the national flag. That's Congress. So, my flag will remain in place on inauguration day....and perhaps for the next four years.

@w7voa Also, it doesn't matter. My flag will be at half staff.
@w7voa how is he in charge of that decision? I get him being Speaker gives him lots of control within and around the building, but Congress has a law on the books (The Flag Code) that specifies otherwise.
Also, learning about a similar incident in the past around Regan's funeral - shameful both ways.
