The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.

β€œIt was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school and find that their parents are gone.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.

Dark Mega donors is what Watergate was all about. We passed a lot of laws to protect us from this dark money. In 2010 John Roberts court removed all Nixon Watergate laws.

Nixon Stole the republic twice. He should have been in jail not at home planning his revenge.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the #EpsteinFiles

Rush Limbaugh used to regularly ridicule β€œthe poor”. The GOP loved him so much, Trump gave him the Congressional Medal of Honor. So is any of this indifference towards hungry families a surprise to anyone?
