I don’t understand the concerns with TikTok. Yeah they have user data.  Everyone has that. I think it’s about trying to end a communication channel for young people. 

It's Ch-EYE-na.

There are things going on with Tik Tok that are behind the curtain.  I hate to give you a benefit of clergy reason but well...there is a reason for the 50-0 vote in the conference.

Dingell's recent update says the vote was to require that the service reorganize with US ownership of the US service as opposed to banning the type of service per se.

He'd already announced his retirement, but him not even sticking around to finish it out really speaks to how miserable it must be to serve in that caucus.

Whatever one thinks of his ideas, he actually has them.... while so much of the caucus otherwise (particularly the MTGs and Boeberts and Ronny Jacksons) are a bunch of circus clowns who are devoid of ideas.

Isn't this the seat Boebert is currently campaigning for? 

She was polling 5th out of 10 but the primary isn't until June so...she has time to get work the pole, er polls.

"Pole"? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Oh, wait ... you mean that pole ... that's very different.

Thinking on twitter is by resigning now Buck is trolling Boebert. She can’t run in the special election to fill the seat since she’s already in congress for another district. She could be looking at facing an incumbent.

This is the first thing I’m reading after waking up this morning, so I almost got a woody because for a split second I thought you posted “facing an indictment”.

Personally I'm looking forward to a decent long-form interview with Ken Buck where they discuss whatever has caused his change of heart over the last couple years.   My favorite memory of him is when he thought he was being all cagey with Mueller in that hearing but basically walked Mueller into saying he had enough evidence to charge Slump had Slump not been president, and that he could charge him after his presidency.

Buck was pretty explicit about the impeachment of Joe Biden being unconstitutional.  He has other grievances as well.  Clearly is no fan of Escort-turned-Congresswoman Boebert.
