Talarico: This new kind of politics is being born right here in the Lone Star State.

The number of Texans who have never voted before but showed up in this election is unprecedented.

The people of Texas just gave this country a little bit of hope. And a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

My heart breaks for the three service members who have lost their lives, and I am praying for those who were wounded.

America’s sons and daughters are being put in harm’s way because of Donald Trump’s illegal war.

Congress must act to rein in Donald Trump before more lives are lost.

Gertrude Stein would have said, "a war, is a war, is war"!

It's a "strategic strike", as the Korean war was a "police action" and Vietnam a "conflict"! The dictionary defines war, amongst in par, as an armed conflict between two or more nations.

End result: PEOPLE DIE, and not just soldiers!

Watch Rep Joe Neguse (D-CO) take apart Kristi Noem (R-SD) with surgical precision over her corrupt and fraudulent $200 million no bid ad campaign for DHS. This man never ceases to amaze me with how good he is at this. Great job congressman!!🎯🎯🎯

Firstly, what was Sheehy doing interfering with the police's handling of the situation and secondly, is he being charged for assaulting that protestor?

The above video is a sitting senator, that just Nazi-ed on camera.
And this is another GOP official, the verbal version of the same thing. That will result in more evil actions, you can bet.
It’s absolutely disgusting; horrifying 🀬

The question all Ohio voters should ask is, "by what right and authority did you release that information"?

Ohio sends voter registration data of nearly 8 million residents to DOJ Secretary of State LaRose says the handover is required under federal law.

Shame on Ohio for handing over personal voter data to DOJ.

While other states DEFEND their voters and elections from Trump’s attacks, Ohio happily gives in.

I agree, quite apart from the merits of the case. Alito could only defend the Supreme Court's authority to intervene by grievously misrepresenting the facts. The reality is that there's no plausible argument SCOTUS had the power to do what it did. Why didn't that matter to six justices?

Tell Congress: Demand AG Bondi release ALL of the Epstein files now Contact Congress today!

🚩 House Oversight just voted 24-19 to SUBPOENA AG Pam Bondi over her half-baked Epstein files release.

Key docs still hidden.
Redactions everywhere.
Powerful names protected.

Enough is enough.

Tell Congress: FORCE Bondi to release EVERY unredacted file NOW. No more cover-ups! πŸ”₯

As I understand it, it is the policy of the United States that the President can unilaterally issue orders to kill the leader of any country any time for any reason? Or kidnap them and bring them to the U.S. for trial for lesser crimes than the U.S. President had committed.

Am I missing something?
