Just FYI, Talarico's paternal grandparents were from Sicily. (Not to be confused with Italians, let alone Hispanics.)

Excuse me. Not Hispanic. His paternal grandparents were from Sicily. (Yeah, I know. We all look alike.) It took us decades to become white.

#Congress needs a law prohibiting witnesses from speaking over interrogators, perjury or failure to answer a question. AND put some teeth behind Contempt of Congress violations: hefty fines and imprisonment, and removal from office for habitual offenders.

There. That wasn't so difficult, was it?

The #TrumpEpsteinFiles must be even worse than we thought for the U.S. to invade Venezuela, bomb #Iran, and attack #Ecuador as a distraction. (Won't work.)

I read a meme that said Trump was releasing the Epstein Files to distract from the disastrous "Melania" movie.

YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislatu…

FCC Chairman Carr is “thinking”of removing the Equal Time rule exception for TV talk shows (but not right-wing talk radio), so CBS wouldn’t let Stephen Colbert air this interview with Texas senate candidate James Talarico. Let’s Streisand Effect the hell out of it on YT.

According to a Google search, an Executive Order cannot supersede a law passed by Congress, much less the Constitution. Ergo: "Only Congress has the 'power of the purse'; a President cannot use an order to spend money that hasn't been authorized by law."

So seriously, Congress! WTF!

Do your job!

Are we or are we not a nation of laws but also of justice? Do laws apply to everyone equally, or only to non whites or non billionaires? Is the United States going to end like this, or are we ready to stand up and demand Congress and the courts DO THEIR JOBS? #Epstein #Trump #Bondi

You know how we know Trumpf didn't write this? Several words have more than two syllables. Also, only his name is all caps. Clearly, this was written by a lobotomized underling trying to sound like Donald, but forgetting what a blithering idiot he actually sounds like.
