Should’ve been with prejudice, as they were so clearly malicious prosecutions, but I’m not sure you could find anyone else to actually re-file them anyways.

I’m sure he’ll join the ‘multiple pardon/clemency club’ like the two separate J6ers already have. There may be more, but I know there are at least those two. One was a weapons charge and the other for threatening to shoot up the fbi over the J6 conviction.

Isn’t one of the items beef? The thing that’s hurting so many farmers who are already pissed about buying Argentinian beef? He sure likes to rub it in his supporters faces how little he cares about them.

There's a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?

She should not be able to walk down the street without constant reminder of making this statement about victims of sex trafficking. Absolute monster of a person.

Just put an edit on my original post… I saw a post on bluesky showing him as a yea, but I can’t find the tally on senate or cspan sites yet, so I can’t confirm. To be honest, it doesn’t matter what his vote is, because he is either part of this deal or so ineffective as leader that he couldn’t whip the votes. And since one if his favorite gags is splitting the bad from the holdout so that the bad can pass while the holdout doesn’t, my money is on Schumer being behind it all. Notice the only i e’s who voted for it are retiring or not electing next year.

Finally tally has his vote as aye.

Edit- Or at least someone posted that he had, I can’t find the actual tally on the senate or cspan sites yet and I may be wrong.

~~Both VA senators saw the statewide sweep and thought to themselves, ‘nope can’t have that.’ What a rug pull.~~

Edit: I thought the list at the top was definitive, Mark Warner has come out Against the bill, although that’s probably only because they agreed he gets to sit out since he’s up for re-election next year.

From what I read, four were successful (CA, WA, HI, and someone else I forget) and the Hawaiian secretary of state said they had everything ready to go beforehand after assuming there would be a stay put in place again. Not trying to throw any shade towards Jackson, it’s just disappointing that the current state if the country is ‘what is the best way one SC Justice can gum up the works enough ti allow starving people to eat before the conservative majority tramples all over it.’

 

The chairman of the New York State Democratic Party said on Thursday that he would not support Zohran Mamdani, his party’s nominee for mayor of New York City, citing fundamental disagreements over Israel and democratic socialism.

The position puts the chairman, Jay Jacobs, directly at odds with both Democratic primary voters and Gov. Kathy Hochul, his de facto boss, who endorsed Mr. Mamdani on Sunday despite her own differences with the nominee.

Mr. Jacobs, a moderate from Long Island, was so opposed to the governor’s endorsement that he told associates in recent days that he would sooner resign as chairman than back Mr. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, according to people who spoke with the chairman.
