Doesn't the executive branch get to decide what's classified in the first place? They probably can't just classify stuff after the fact, though.

That said, what's probably going to happen is that once the House gets a copy someone will read the whole thing into the record using congressional immunity.

Fair point, it's possible that not a single member of the House Judiciary would be willing to pound gravel, but I think at least one of them will given the roster:

Jerrold Nadler, New York, Chairman
Zoe Lofgren, California
Sheila Jackson Lee, Texas
Steve Cohen, Tennessee
Hank Johnson, Georgia
Ted Deutch, Florida
Karen Bass, California
Cedric Richmond, Louisiana
Hakeem Jeffries, New York

Like, dude. You said it yourself. We literally have a statue and a plaque about it. Your racist kin made the same points about my great great grandparents, "they don't even need to speak English in their neighborhood, we don't share the same values, what will america look like blah blah blah blah blaaaaaaah," and now here you are doing the same loving thing!!

I sincerely hope that he gets shitcanned and never gets a job ever again. And if anyone brings up his family or children, I'll double down. gently caress him, and I hope his family knows that he's a terrible excuse for a human being.

It is the official position of the Australian government that the Great Barrier Reef is perfectly okay.

This has nothing to do with the fact that the Mining and Coal Power industries are the biggest financial backers of politicians and give them hugely paying board positions after they leave politics.

Tourism is actually a bigger industry than both mining (excluding steel which is still slightly larger) and the power companies, it brings in billions more dollars a year. But tourism is thousands of small businesses stretched over the entire country. Mining and power are a few dozen and they've had their act honed to a razor sharp edge for literally centuries.

I'm sure we all appreciate the extra tweet dumps, but take the cue from PPJ, I'm sure that I share this opinion with many other non-twittter olds, I come here to read major dumps that I need to absolutely care about. I don't have the time or patience to wade through too much noise. SA has been my political noise filter for nigh a decade. Don't over do it.
