I'm sure RFK Jr will just shrug this off, but this has to sting, coming from his own family:

More than a dozen members of the Kennedy family endorsed President Biden for reelection on Thursday, rebuking the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose independent bid critics argue will help elect former President Trump.

Kerry Kennedy, the younger sister of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., addressed a group of Biden supporters in Philadelphia, joined on stage by the president and other members of her family.

“In 2024, there are only two candidates with any chance of winning the presidency,” she said, referencing Biden and Trump and implicitly dismissing her brother’s White House chances.

“We want to make crystal clear our feeling that the best way forward for America is to reelect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to four more years,” she added, flanked by a sign that read “We’re on Board.”

The so-called Freedom Caucus has assembled a team to "guard the House floor", to make sure no initiatives that they don't like slip through. They have dubbed the team a "Floor Action Response Team".....

 

I'll leave it to you to work out the acronym.....:picard:

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) reacted to Greene’s latest amendments by tweeting that he had “[j]ust submitted an amendment…appointing MTG as Putin’s Special Envoy to the United States Congress.”

What Sentencing Could Look Like if Trump Is Found Guilty

 

A review of thousands of cases in New York that charged the same felony suggests something striking: If Mr. Trump is found guilty, incarceration is an actual possibility. It’s not certain, of course, but it is plausible.

"

Republicans in Louisiana are cracking down on the scourge of child laborers taking breaks for lunch.

The New Orleans Advocate reports that the Louisiana House Labor and Industrial Relations panel on Thursday voted to repeal a law that mandates employers give underage workers time to take lunch breaks, while also passing a bill to cut the amount of time in which laid off workers can collect unemployment aid.

I haven't seen Tim Pool posted for ages.

I see he still has the toque on to cover up the bald spot. I'm surprised he doesn't have a skate board strategically placed behing him in his profile. Use to be his ' connect with young look'

His grapic there seems like a bit of a diversion from his occupy wall street origins.
