Florida Democrat Resigns From Congress Just as Panel Weighs Expelling Her

Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, the Florida Democrat charged with embezzling $5 million in FEMA money, announces resignation just minutes before the House Ethics Committee was to vote on whether to recommend that the House expel her. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/u...

Right - but instead it represents "the fallen woman" as spiritually lesser being, anti-queerness, and supportive of patriarchy, so they're all good.

Why only annual?

Elon Musk basically accused Trump of being a pedophile and then got dinner with him again a few months later. Joe Rogan acted shocked and dismayed about ICE and Iran and now he’s standing behind Trump in the Oval Office. These guys only care about holding onto power through any means necessary

Archaeologists in the Holy Land just uncovered a 3,000-year-old Israelite tablet…

It reads: “Iran is only weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon.”

It’s possible that she doesn’t care, and after losing the primary she’ll run in Maine’s Ranked Choice Voting General as an independent to win that.

Trump, IRS In Talks To Settle U.S. President's $10 Billion Lawsuit Trump's adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization are also plaintiffs.

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.

I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

“These prices are in line with the market,” said New Jersey Transit spokesman Pauly Walnuts.

Can we just stop, please.

Trump’s 250-foot arch receives early design approval as public pans it The Commission of Fine Arts asked the architect for revisions, with one member suggesting the project could be downsized by leaving out gold-plated statues.

Triumphal arches are an idiotic architectural form - they have no business being built today.

Around 14% of Enrollees in ACA Plans Failed to Make Payments, Data Shows The decline in January payments has been driven by a loss of federal Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Exclusive: One in seven people who signed up for Affordable Care Act plans failed to pay their premiums in January, indicating millions of people might lose insurance in coming months.

At $100M each, $1T is enough to build 10,000 of the greatest high schools of all time — 200 for every state (or more/less if you place them by population —990 in Texas, 1200 in California).

This is a CHOICE we can make.

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

Word out of the Vatican is that Pope Leo is padding around wearing a buffoonishly long red tie and a $50 suit.

THIS.

I don’t know what they pay — but I once rough-budgeted it out, and a program like this can be paid for ENTIRELY by Matt Lauer’s salary in his final years.

That’s right — one Matt Lauer’s salary can cover a 50-state journalism project.

Hungary has chosen Europe.

Europe has always chosen Hungary.

A country reclaims its European path.

Victor Orban is currently weighing competing offers from Harvard Kennedy School and NOTUS.

Only if a dog were capable of doing algebra - but refuses, for ego and pique.

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Reps. Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales set to face expulsion votes over misconduct allegations Democrats will likely counter a GOP-led vote to oust Swalwell with a vote to unseat Gonzales.

If - instead of it being 100% men who ran all of law for all time, it were 100% women who did, that rule would not exist, at LEAST in SA cases.

Most men do not understand this. They need to.

Our laws MUST change. Rules of evidence MUST change.

So here's a q for you:

* Swalwell is toast. In normal times, I'd think he'd end his campaign and resign Congress before 9am Monday.

* However, IF he does that, Democrats will lose some leverage to force similar resignations from Republicans this week.

So: What happens?

Given lawmaker's inabilities to close the barn door until after the horse is gone -- we have a House Speaker questioning why Dems are threatening impeachment, vs a President who just broke 3 UN genocide laws -- safe answer is, lawmakers will do nil about AI models. Until after.

More and more organizations, publishers, and creators are abandoning legacy platforms that throttle their reach. Bluesky gives them a direct line to their audiences, without suppression or gatekeeping bsky.app/profile/eff....

I used to think "grief" was just feeling sad.

Now, it's a string of emotions, each stimulating the next, sometimes in a circular way.

They don't have a single name.
