This video needs to be shared with all veterans nationwide. The Republicans do not give a damn about the chaos and damage they are causing to veterans. They should be ashamed but of course they have no shame. They run away like the cowards they are. #ProudBlue

📌On this day in 1936, Nazi Germany's Reichstag passed a law giving the Gestapo absolute authority to hunt down and kill anybody they saw as a threat. They were completely above any legal review.

📌You see where I'm going with this ...

Why is funding for cancer research, as well as heart disease, a “ leftist “ issue?

These pathetic, greedy billionaires have no honor or self-respect.

Trump Pentagon pick attacks UN and Nato and urges US to ignore Geneva conventions Revealed: Pete Hegseth writes scathingly of key institutions and says ‘If you love America, you should love Israel’

Trump’s nominee for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth has attacked several key US alliances like NATO. He wants US military to ignore the Geneva conventions and any international laws governing the conduct of war

Remember when Jake Tapper and Dana Bash moderated a presidential debate and didn’t think it was worth asking about a judge calling Trump a rapist?

The media surrender started a long time ago.

Tulsi Gabbard keeps starting up PACs. Where is the money going? When her appointment as director of national intelligence is vetted, the Senate should scrutinize her political operation.

Tulsi Gabbard is running sock puppet PACs and a nonprofit that won’t reveal its donors to pay herself! Color me shocked. Who would have thought?! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump is about to do to the economy what he did with his casinos.

A victory where you get less than a majority of the votes is a mere plurality

And-say it with me now

A plurality is NOT a landslide

TRUMPFLATION TARIFFS

Texas land commissioner offers 1,402 acres to Trump for 'deportation facilities' Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham is offering the incoming Trump administration 1,402 acres it purchased along the Texas-Mexico border.

Instead of using this land to build housing for Texans during a housing shortage, Trump and Abbott want to build a huge deportation camp to hold people for unspecified lengths of time.

We've seen what happens when we throw people into camps without basic legal protection. We cannot do this again.

Gaetz is out. Now Pete Hegseth also needs to be blocked as Defense Secretary. Here’s his police file.

The House Just Blessed Trump’s Authoritarian Playbook by Passing Nonprofit-Killer Bill Attacking civili society is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes — and the House, including some Democrats, just gave Trump the power to do it.

15 House Dems just voted for HR 9495, which would give Trump power to name any advocacy group or nonprofit as “terrorist affiliated" with no due process.

Senate Dems must not let this attack on free speech come up for a vote during the lame-duck.

If it does, they must vote NO.

Well, that's not a no.

Local Democratic electeds: this is the new standard

Trump is itching to get his Cabinet in place. President Biden should help him by ordering FBI background checks on all Trump nominees to begin immediately.

Wild: The chairman has since betrayed the process by disclosing our deliberations within moments after walking out of the committee and he has implied that there was an agreement of the committee not to disclose the report, that is untrue..

If the House Ethics Committee will not release the Gaetz report, the Senate should just redo the investigation publicly during the confirmation hearing.

Recall every witness.

Get it all out there.

I am personally opposed to showing fealty to any president of any political persuasion.

This doesn’t sit well with them or those who control media, but I sleep just fine.

I hope others who have the access I and others are routinely denied act that way.

In the history of stupid fucking cults, this one is the fucking stupidest.

This is a national disgrace.

Trump has now driven law-abiding, legal residents of the United States into hiding with racist lies—lies that were designed purely to secure his election via votes from low-information bigots.

The House Ethics Committee was also looking into Matt Gaetz for “illicit drug use, accepted improper gifts, dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship, and sought to obstruct government investigations of his conduct.”

Release the report!

Secretary of Procurement, of course.
