The only plausible set up I see would be them setting him up for a pardon he doesn’t deserve

Huge insurance premium hikes kick in on Jan. 1st. His no tax on tips and SS is total bullshit.

"He should just released the goddamn files, and stop playing games and pretending that he can say what's in there and what's not in there."

Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits Contact Congress today!

Just imagine Mike Johnson’s face when we get this done.

Tell Congress to force a vote on extending ACA tax credits!

Well if by β€œlegitimately” you mean he had foreign adversaries weigh in on his side both in 2016, 2020, and 2024, I’m 100% with you.

Russia definitely interfered in our elections on his behalf, as they do all around the globe to undermine democracy.

The kicker was, he was ticketed for not carrying insurance…an active AUSA not paying for driver’s insurance? You’re kidding me…this guy doesn’t belong anywhere near the bench let alone being a US Attorney.

As I said right after MTG resigned β€œshe’s either intentionally getting out in front of something or trying to mislead the public to help…(a) fellow member.”

A week later, Rep Nehls says he’s resigning while he’s under active ethics investigation.

Could be one of those rare coincidences in DC…

Looking sharp for what he’s going through. I pray he makes a full recovery.

Formerly arrested for DWI, while an AUSA, Ganjei’s been nominated to the federal bench by Trump at recommendation of his former boss Senator Cruz.

This seems more than a bit odd…he must have connections…and why wasn’t there a better option with no history of drinking and driving?

The Congress will be better off without the conspiratorial views of these two and their feckless corruption of misleading the public for their own gain.

MTG and Nehls both announcing resignations within the same couple weeks, both are from the fringes of MAGA and the freedom caucus, both were political allies of Gaetz and close to Trump.

I posited at the time of MTG’s resignation could be cover for a fellow member & two weeks later Nehls resigns.

It’s unbelievable he won reelection and this proves it. It’s not even been a year and the country already deeply regrets who won.

True, I wouldn’t be surprised if MTG didn’t start this retirement trend to give cover to this member who’s mired by a career of ethical violations and an active investigation into him.

I’m sure they’ll say he did nothing wrong and ultimately pull a Tom Homan pretending the evidence isn’t there.

And the GOP who’s complicit and in some cases apart of the corruption.

REMINDER: J6 was not an inside job; Trump was responsible for the events that day after he encouraged and refused to call off, for 187 minutes, the rioters who stormed the Capitol over his big lie.

GOP politicians continue to aid Trump in rewriting the history of that day.

But we know the truth.

REMINDER: The 2020 election was not stolen, there was no systemic fraud, it was unconventional because of COVID, but it was a fair and legitimate election.

GOP politicians have lied and continue to about 2020 to curry favor with the most corrupt President in history.

Do not believe their lies.

How does this lower prices or help Americans afford/acess healthcare?

Those are the issues folks want him focused on, but he’s itching for distractions at any cost, including higher costs for all of us.

Trump has truly, for the first time in American history post Jim Crow, established an active two tiered justice system at the federal level.

If you are an ally of Trump or the GOP, you are protected at any cost, but if you aren’t, you face the worst the federal government can do.

God bless Senator Mark Kelly. He is a true American PATRIOT!

There is a reason if you think about it from the perspective of a wannabe dictator

This is what they wanted. An excuse to continue ratcheting up their authoritarian control over the nation’s capital.

Absurd, so it isn’t a β€œpeace” deal but a deal of future surrender if Ukraine were to sign it.

When I worked for Obama, I advised him on how to talk to Russian leaders. I never gave the Kremlin advice on how to talk to Obama (and I talked to Ushakov many times!).
