"On this day, 3 March 1991, Rodney King was brutally beaten by police in Los Angeles. Despite it being caught on film (almost unheard of in those days), the officers were acquitted, and the city went up in flames. "

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

The latest addition to this saga is that the White House has said that 6'9" Barron Trump is "too tall to serve in the military." That's evidently their modern equivalent of Trump's bogus bone spurs story. David Robinson is 7' tall and put his lucrative NBA career on hold to serve in the Navy.

Noem asked to retract comments calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., pushed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to retract her previous statements labeling Renee Good and Alex Pretti as domestic terrorists. Noem said she was ...

Americans watched as federal agents killed two Minnesotans.

Now their families have to watch Kristi Noem continue to lie about it.

"Assad bombed many schools in Syria, e.g. Iqra in Aleppo filmed by BBC who happened to be in the area. Putin followed suit, and then also bombed school children in Ukraine, e.g. in Mariupol as they sought refuge in a theater. Israel bombed thousands of children in schools in Gaza, in Lebanon, and now more than 150 girls in Iran. The perpetrators are equally criminal; the justifications, denials, and selective condemnations of these massacres are equally sickening."

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.

I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

I need to remind people. The midterms have never been so important.

Don't let people use scare tactics or make you think it won't happen.

also if voting didn't matter gerrymandering wouldn't exist.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.

Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

Hey America: Had enough of Trump's BS? Then vote for so many Democrats for Senate this November that we can have enough to impeach and REMOVE Trump from the White House!!!

Gym Jordan never took the bar exam. As far as I’m concerned he’s got no say in what I want. I know the weasel will never face jail time but I’m so glad E Jean Carroll took him to court.

Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

To be clear, the GOP majority abdicating its congressional responsibilities and ceding its power to the executive is a choice.

Republicans could call votes and end this today if they wanted to. They choose not to.
