"Amendment Twenty-five to the Constitution was ratified on February 10, 1967. It established and explained the complete order of presidential succession, as well as a series of contingency plans to fill any executive vacancies. The official text is written as such:
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President."
Not to mention there would need to be 67 votes in the Senate to remove Trump office.
Dammit, you made me look the exact meaning of this word up. Fuck you.

NEW: Rep. Thomas Massie just had a lengthy gaggle w/ reporters after the Epstein discharge petition hit 218. some highlights:
-Confirms there was an intense pressure campaign to get the Republican women to drop off & criticized WH staff for focusing on that today instead of the shutdown. “They were scrambling over there to stop this”
-He checked with the parliamentarian and even if someone leaves Congress early or dies, but signed the petition, their signature still stands (relevant since Sherrill is exiting)
-Multiple House Republicans beyond those who signed the discharge petition told Massie they intend to vote for the Epstein resolution when it comes to floor
-Massie planning another press conference “tentatively” next Tuesday morning with Epstein abuse victims; 2 victims were also in the gallery during Grijalva’s swearing in today
HOLY SHIT!!!!
Donald Trump, who has sworn for years that he “cut ties” with Jeffrey Epstein in 2006…
…received a $30 MILLION loan in 2012 from a casino tied to Epstein’s finances, according to newly released House Oversight emails.
Trump says he hadn’t spoken to Epstein since 2006. But by 2012, money connected to Epstein’s business network was still flowing into Trump’s world.
This comes on top of:
• Emails showing Epstein discussing Trump with victims
• Epstein describing Trump as being “in his house”
• Claims Trump “spent hours” with one of the victims
• Epstein saying Trump “knew about the girls”
• A 2017 email where a victim says she didn’t want to “arrive early and find Trump in your house”
And now a $30 million financial link six years after Trump claimed he cut Epstein off.
MAGA is cooked. This is blowing wide open.
So the bottom line on the Epstein files is this vote forces House and Senate members to make a clear moral choice between protecting a pedo or not because their vote will be documented?
Please correct me if wrong. I just need the simple bottom line answer.
Please correct me if wrong. I just need the simple bottom line answer.
Epstein claims he has photos of 'dirty Donald' with bikini-clad women
The House Oversight Committee published 23,000 pages of documents from pedophile Epstein's estate.
Yup that’s my understanding
DOL Launches “Project Firewall” Targeting H-1B Employers
Snell & Wilmer
October 1, 2025
www.swlaw.com
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has announced a new enforcement initiative called Project Firewall, focused on companies that employ H-1B workers. The program will bring more audits and investigations to check that employers are following all record keeping and wage-related requirements tied to H-1B sponsorship.
Employer requirements under the H-1B program
Before filing a H-1B petition, the sponsoring employer must file a Labor Condition Attestation (LCA) with the DOL, which establishes the job classification and the wage that must be paid to the foreign national. In addition, the employer must maintain a “public access file” and make the following materials available to the public within one working day of filing the LCA:
• The LCA;
• Rate of pay for the H-1B worker;
• Description or summary of the actual wage system;
• Prevailing wage rate and its source;
• Documentation that the notice requirement was satisfied;
• Summary of benefits offered to U.S. workers and H-1B workers;
• List of entities included as a “single employer”; and
• In the event of corporate change:
• Sworn or notarized statement by successor entity accepting all liabilities of predecessor entity;
• List of H-1B workers transferred to successor entity;
• Each affected LCA number and effective date;
• A description of successor entity’s actual wage system; and
• Successor entity’s employer identification number
Why Project Firewall matters
DOL audits of H-1B employers have been rare, but Project Firewall is expected to greatly expand enforcement. Investigations will look closely at wage compliance, file completeness, and whether postings were done correctly. Penalties for violations can include significant monetary fines and even loss of access to the H-1B program.
Best Practices
Now is a good time for H-1B employers to consider taking the following measures:
• Review all public access files to confirm they are complete and accurate.
• Verify LCA postings were completed at all required worksites (including remote locations) and retain proof of posting.
• Check that every H-1B employee is being paid the required prevailing wage.
• Monitor for changes in job duties or worksites that may require an amended petition.
• Retain documentation and records in case of a DOL audit.
