NYT Editorial Board:
Senator #Diane #Feinstein has had a distinguished career in the U.S. Senate, but her infirmities and illness now force her — and Senate leaders like Charles Schumer — to make a painful choice.
At age 89, Ms. Feinstein is now the Senate’s oldest member, and health issues have kept her out of Washington and the Senate chamber for more than two months, at a time when vital legislation and judicial nominations are hanging on a knife’s edge.
If she cannot fulfill her obligations to the Senate and to her constituents, she #should #resign and turn over her responsibilities to an #appointed #successor.
If she is unable to reach that decision on her own, Mr. #Schumer, the majority leader, and other Democratic senators should make it clear to her and the public how #important it is that she do so.
During his rape trial, Donald Trump defended "grab 'em by the pussy" proclivities before telling the lawyer questioning him “you wouldn’t be a choice of mine, either, to be honest.”
Please put this guy on the stand more often! He can't help but dig his own grave.

@Hey_Beth Absolutely agree!
@dillonthebiologist That makes much more sense!

@AlliFlowers
Agreed, but sadly, that is unlikely to happen unless we end legal bribery.
@mentallyalex@beige.party @dillonthebiologist Maybe it’s just the instructions that are unclear then. The instructions ask that you rank them, but you can only do #1.
@dillonthebiologist @mentallyalex@beige.party You want people to vote on which is #1? This is not a poll.
This is how it should be.

You don’t enter into public service for the money. He should have resigned a long time ago.

@celset2 Like Trump paid for Weisselberg’s family’s education. Weisselberg went to jail. Just sayin’.

@tofugolem Of course, we should be rolling back their tax cuts anyway.
American politics
Everyone call your representative.
Tell them that if Republicans refuse to pay for the debt created by their tax cuts, then we have no choice but to roll back those tax cuts to balance the budget.
If people demand the rollback of tax cuts every time Republicans refuse to raise the debt ceiling, the lobbyists will make certain they stop playing chicken with the debt ceiling.
This is why I never allowed my students to just grab their phones and take pictures of the board.

A 6-year-old boy was shot to death while he was playing in the front yard of his family’s Kansas home
Another 6-year-old was shot dead while playing video games in his house in Virginia
What’s it going to take?
So far in 2023:
There have been 14,428 gun violence deaths
192 mass shootings
603 children under 18 murdered
We didn’t flinch any of the times children were slaughtered at school, at home, or anywhere
So what’s it going to take?
@walterdunham Having a little just doesn’t cut it. Sorry.
@walterdunham I did read it. It suggests you have some free will for some things. Otherwise, your life is pre-ordained by god’s will.
@walterdunham Doesn’t really resolve the argument though.
@walterdunham My favorite argument against free will is that those who constantly remind us of free will also remind us that God has a plan. Well which is it? Cause if he has a plan, we don’t have free will.
