Speaker Johnson is 100% incorrect (receipts below) and he HIMSELF voted by proxy.
He thinks it’s *so unconstitutional* that he did it—not once or twice—but nearly 40 times?
1/?
This is a no go: @SpeakerJohnson says the Constitution doesn’t permit proxy voting.
“I’ve filed a brief with the United States Supreme Court asserting that proxy vote is unconstitutional. That's been my belief as a constitutional law litigator, and I don't see any way around that. And it's unfortunate. I have great sympathy, empathy for all of our young women legislators who are of birthing age. It’s a real quandary. But I'm afraid it doesn't fit with the language of the Constitution, and that's the inescapable truth that we have.”

We’re launching a new, simple intake system to report price gouging — call @MyLA311 to report illegally hiked rents and prices.
We have no tolerance for it.

Many LATU members - gardeners, housecleaners, and other domestic workers who regularly commute from central LA to Topanga, Calabasas, and the Palisades - have already lost income because of the fires.
STOP THE EVICTIONS
FREEZE THE RENTS
SEIZE VACANT UNITS
As countless homes burn, no Landlord should proffit off of this disaster or make anyone else homeless. Immediate rent freeze and eviction moratorium in LA and Ventura County.

In the midst of all this destruction, eviction courts are still churning. The 6th floor of the downtown courthouse is packed today. Thousands and thousands more people will lose their jobs from these fires.
WE DEMAND AN EMERGENCY EVICTION MORATORIUM AND A RENT FREEZE.

Oaklanders have always overcome challenges by coming together. At this critical moment, we must not be a city divided, but a community united.
With the support of Oakland Firefighters, business and labor leaders, and community I’ve made the decision to run for Mayor of Oakland – to unite our City; make it stronger and safer; and improve opportunity for everyone.

This is intentional, precise, and artful sampling of a work that is clearly credited and probably paid royalties. Not only is sampling a craft that shows technical skill but it also showcases the discerning and mindful ear of an artist. Something you will just never be with ai.
AI haters will always hate.
Here is daft punk “stealing” 25 years ago.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
"A representative for Daft Punk confirmed the use of the sample and that they continued to pay royalties to GM Musipro, the French publishing company that has owned rights to "More Spell on You" since 1995." Please read the linked info before claiming what is isn't in there.

The decision to run for Mayor of Oakland, a city that I have long called home, is not one I take lightly.
As my time in Congress wraps up, my current priority is navigating the crisis before us in DC. I am working around the clock to reach a deal that will keep our government open and provide critical resources for my district.
I will announce my intentions in early January.

Politico should name the staffer! They're public servants; the idea that staffers are some protected class who shall not be named is a made up dumb media norm.
If you know the staffer's name, DM me - I'll publish it

The California outbreak is being made worse by UC Davis keeping 5 out of 7 jobs empty at the state's only bird flu testing lab. Risking another pandemic to save a bad manager's feelings & avoid hiring 5 ppl at like $50k each, from a budget in the billions latimes.com/business/story/2…

It seems that HTS has just prohibited its members from interfering in women’s outfits & looks “including asking them to cover up”!
The statement also confirms that personal freedom is a guaranteed right!
I am astonished. #Syria

Anyone who claims to be on the Left, who's not overjoyed to see the fall of Assad's regime, one of the most brutal regimes in history, and the liberation of thousands of political prisoners from its dungeons, should really rethink their politics and framework.
