Rand Paul has been Trumpβs Republican nightmare in the Senate and itβs only going to get more hilarious.π
(To be clear, Rand Paul has been a lapdog for most of Trumpβs time in office, but better late than never.)

Watch Rep Joe Neguse (D-CO) take apart Kristi Noem (R-SD) with surgical precision over her corrupt and fraudulent $200 million no bid ad campaign for DHS. This man never ceases to amaze me with how good he is at this. Great job congressman!!π―π―π―
