The President is Lying to the Public
YouTube video by Governor Wes Moore The President is Lying to the Public

The President is lying to the public:

1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land.

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

Tomorrow, the Oversight Committee will have the opportunity to question Les Wexner about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Survivors told us from day one: follow the money. That is exactly what we intend to do.

This is How Democrats Must Message To Win Back The Majority Timidity, playing possum, & leaning to the mythical "center" won't help Democrats excite the base or the majority. Instead, they must actually stand for something and communicate it with authenticity.

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

Goodbye and Good luck, David Brooks His musings about personal morality have been thoughtful; his views about public morality and our political economy, far less so.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.

She is going to be president somedayβ€”it’s just a matter of time.

This flew under the radar, but it shouldn’t have.

When senator Alex Padilla was tackled by DHS, Kristi Noem’s side piece, Corey Lewandowski, was orchestrating the situation in the hall.

This week at Democracy Docket: The worst voter suppression bill ever passed, and an FBI raid built on conspiracy theories When the U.S. House passed the SAVE Act last year, historians told us it was Congress' worst attack on voting rights ever. Well, this week the House approved an even worse one.

Thomas Massie Calls Out Pam Bondi's Performance During Epstein Files Hearing Attorney General Pam Bondi delved into name calling and shouting when questioned about the Epstein files.

Her behaviour at the hearings was atrocious. Imagine if any previous Democratic Attorney General had ever responded in the same manner? They'd been drawn & quartered then roasted over a fire pit. I firmly believe her day is coming. She is a pitiful excuse for an AG.

France has confirmed that a special prosecutorial team will review the Epstein files.
