Memories, all alone in the moonlight!
Kevin McCarthy Has Chosen To Stay And Fail: Day Three!
Is something going to happen today or are they just going to adjourn? Or are they going to vote for Kevin McCarthy to fail three more times and then adjourn? Or will they adjourn first and then Kevin will go be by himself somewhere and find a way to personally fail during that time?
I’m going to have to go to bed and stop watching this absolute hilarity that is the Kevin McCarthy impeachment eventually, so here’s a liveblog from NBC News to keep you up to date. Nancy Mace, you saucy minx!
OK, Mace is somehow saying she threw Barely Speaker Kevin out the window because … abortion? Nobody believes you, Nancy Mace :) — Talking Points Memo

The great unsung hero of the extremely satisfying Trump fraud case is … Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? That’s right, I remember it now, her first big public hearings and how well-prepared and incisive she was instead of just hamming it up to the sound of her own voice like the rest of her colleagues did. Thank you for your service, young lady! — Amanda Marcotte at Salon

This poor lady :/ : “Turn off your cell phones on October 4th. The EBS is going to ‘test’ the system using 5G. This will activate the Marburg virus in people who have been vaccinated. And sadly turn some of them into zombies.” That is literally the plot of Halloween III.
I will eat the egg and miso breakfast soup, yes please thank you, Martha Stewart.
I want to know more about the Zelle pool scam and getting taken for thirty-one thousand dollars (or an entire Michigan Republican Party checking account). — Insider
