Whitehouse: "The supposed contribution made to me by some Epstein person is actually not true. It's false. So, weird when an AG of the US comes to the Judiciary Committee & makes false allegations about a senator - demonstrably false - rather than answer a simple Q: Is there a picture, or no?"

That's all the Speaker does is show Americans he doesn't serve them but serves trump like the rest of his regime.💔

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It is so sad with trophy hunters killing the top bull in his species who shares his DNA everytime with a doe for a healthy baby.

SHAMEFUL: AG Pam Bondi is disgracing herself with her performance, evasive and combative in her refusal to answer Sen. Padilla on Tom Homan taking a $50K bribe.

She's acting like a criminal defendant, not the Attorney General of the United States.

OK,I don't know about that. I was going by her time in the military and hearing her talk about things. But the great thing is we can agree to disagree.

This strikes me as pretty bad
