Kinzinger & Sykes: "The Last Republican" The man, the movie, the podcast.

I really thought I knew Adam Kinzinger.

But a new documentary gives me a deeper appreciation of the Republican congressman who gave it all up to tell the truth about January 6.

Two more days

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:

The man who called out war dead "suckers and losers" is indeed pure trash, and the fact that pretends to support the military is the most disgraceful thing ever.

He's already declaring victory.
Elected Dems, you are so stupid.

I’ve never seen a president so determined to starve Americans.

IT’S OFFICIAL! Tennessee Republicans Glen Casada and Cade Cothren receive “full and unconditional” pardons from President Trump on corruption charges.

Every person who thinks it's just pedantry to argue about what constitutes "fascism" should think very hard about how much damage has been done to American life by the indiscriminate and incorrect usage of words like "terrorism," "war," "treason" and "communist", among many others.

And this is why I do what I do

What a disgrace. And what an embarrassment for @cnn.com.

Senator Gallego - “How can I negotiate? The president’s in Asia for five days. Johnson’s keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles. So who am I negotiating with?"

Republicans continue to posture on "free markets" and "pro-business", yet it would be hard to find an Administration more actively interventionist or politically punitive towards markets or business than the Second Trump Administration. It is statist and personalist through and through.

So the government can spend $40,000,000,000 to bail out Argentina and $200,000,000 for Kristi Noem’s private jets.

But when it comes to federal food assistance, "the well has run dry."

This administration doesn't care about working people.

BREAKING: Canada's Approval Rating in America is 60 Points higher than Trump's. 60. If you wanted to design a culture‑war villain who would alienate the middle of the American electorate, you wouldn’t pick “Canada.”

Imagine if someone made the argument that NBC needed to put some liberal activist in charge of the news as part of a "deal" with President Obama.

Thugs.

Notice how it’s somehow the government’s job to legislate a few Bible verses on human sexuality over our entire country, but it’s suddenly “not the government’s job” when it comes to the +2,500 Bible verses calling for a generous use of wealth that prioritizes the poor.

The GOP wont pay for food assistance, but they just bought Kristi Noem two new planes at $175 million, a new ballroom, Trump may get $250 million from another BS lawsuit,

“Ya but go hungry you govt sucking leech!!” From govt sucking leeches

How the Japanese really feel: carterjmrn.com/blog/sentime...

George Santos is only the 3rd member of Congress since the Civil War to be expelled from Congress.

He deceived his own donors, used campaign money for himself and committed wire fraud.

But he was loyal to Trump. So Trump pardoned him. That says everything about his priorities.

MAHA 1

Sorry, but it *is* unnerving. I agree with @rieckhoff.bsky.social that this idea that the military is Trump's personal muscle, and should kill anyone he points at, should be among the biggest stories in America right now.

It's a perfect storm - the economic slowdown, the government shutdown, the monarchical airs, the open looting and bribery, the unaccountable masked thugs ... and now demolishing a historic public building like he owns it.

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that House Republicans are on paid vacation instead of in Washington doing their jobs.

Government shutdown? Health care costs going up? Speaker Johnson isn’t interested in solving any of that.

Trump’s new ballroom you’re paying for is going to be bigger than the White House itself. Because he believes he is more important than the country.

The symbolism is disgraceful and obvious. Again: Republicans would lose their minds if Obama did this.
