I forget-- who controls the White House, Senate, and House?

Of course you can't see it..that's what transparent means!

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

There was a time when I thought Bill Barr was as bad as they could get.

Then Pam Bondi speaks.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.
