Just overheard in the blue room, where a customer was observing how many very full bookcases we have:

"This is the best ten-pounds-of-s***-in-a-five-pound-bag job I've ever seen."

Why, thank you πŸ˜‚ We do indeed have 48,000 books in 2700sq.ft., and I'm over here trying to figure out how to add more.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!

Folks, we still have troops in DC. They never left. What are they doing here? Being intimating bullies over people doing their ordinary things in public spaces. That’s the whole point of them & why Trump is squandering your money on them.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

was watching The Fury from 1978 and there's a bit where you follow a character entering a building on security screens like the opening of Snatch. also young Dennis Franz is in it and he looks like Nick Kroll

Azerbaijan said Iranian drones struck its territory on Thursday, hitting an airport terminal and falling near a school building. Two civilians were wounded.

GOP Sen. Tim Sheehy "assisted" Capitol police in forceful removal of Brian McGinnis.

During 'removal' McGinnis ended up with a broken arm.

Sheehy’s unhinged; he should be charged for assaulting a peaceful decorated Marine vet who was exercising his 1st amendment rights. He has no place in Senate!
