You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Fifteen million are about to lose health care. Premiums are set to double. Housing & child care are outrageously expensive.

Meanwhile, Trump’s priorities are demolishing the White House, bailing out Argentina & now threatening war with Venezuela.

What happened to America First?

Mike Nellis (@mikenellis) This is the best messaging I’ve seen from any Democrats on the shutdown. Kudos to AOC, Bernie, and their teams for putting this out there.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

RFK lied to my face. He said he hadn’t fired any scientists.

RFK has fired over 3,000 scientists from HHS. It’s shameful. He must resign.

This β€œexplicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
