After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

That is patently false: not only do immigrants score better than native-born Americans in tests, the mere presence of immigrants improve test scores for all students, when factoring in white flight

Conspiracy theorist election denier given FEMAβs second-most important role
Gregg Phillips will lead the Office of Response and Recovery, βthe heart of what FEMA does.β
In October, Phillips posted that he had βa meaningful and productive callβ with then-FEMA Acting Administrator David Richardson (another completely unqualified appointee who recently resigned). Unclear why he was given the meeting, but it would appear a job for him was in the works.

Congressional investigations are likely the ONLY accountability this administration will face. Bondi won't arrest anyone. US officials can't be tried at the Hague. And even if we get a new AG in 2029, Trump is going to pardon everyone. These midterms are crucial for accountability.
