Up extra early for the extra early PT appointment (I like them early, but a half hour later would be better). The boys are still up to shit #dogsofCoSo

#politics Defeat for Trump is a triumph for the rule of law. 11th Circuit unanimously rules Judge Cannon was incorrect, eliminates her ruling, orders case be dismissed.

Tristan Snell: "Special master: gone. All restrictions on DOJ use of recovered Mar-a-Lago documents: gone."
"Massive DOJ win. Great day for democracy and the rule of law."

11th Circuit's opinion:

#Politics

“The law is clear,” the appeals court wrote. “We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant. Nor can we write a rule that allows only former presidents to do so. Either approach would be a radical reordering of our case law limiting the federal courts’ involvement in criminal investigations. And both would violate bedrock separation-of-powers limitations.”

Obama in Georgia tonight, rally with Warnock!

Alaska Rep. @MaryPeltola laid out the issues very well. This isn't just a few sick days, but also not placing yourself in jeopardy of being fired when taking a sick day. This needs to be resolved properly.

YAYYYY!

11th Circuit court vacates judgement by Eileen Cannon. Special Counsel is no more!

A catastrophic rail strike was averted on Thursday as the Senate voted 80-15 on a new labor agreement to increase wages and health benefits for rail workers.

Republicans filibustered an additional Democratic bill that would have provided rail workers with 7 days of paid sick leave. The deal was voted down by a vote of 52-43, falling short of the 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster. 1/

Hot damn!

11th Circuit tells "Judge" Cannon to go kick rocks.

Republican Senators Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, John Kennedy, Josh Hawley, and Mike Braun joined Democrats in voting yes. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin voted against the paid sick leave measure.

It is worth noting that Members of Congress have unlimited paid sick days.

After Cruz's yes vote, Sen. Bernie Sanders joked to the Texas Senator, "I always knew you were a socialist."

GET EM BERNIE! #politics

Amazing how many people don’t get that.

In 2016, Russia funneled $5M to GOP candidates through the NRA. You were the #1 recipient

I know it well. Nothing left on that site is worth resuming my role as a combatant. I don’t like who I became.

At all.
