Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Lawmakers furious at Democratic leaders after stock trading ban stalls Anger is boiling over at House Democratic leadership for failing to deliver on a bill to ban members of Congress from trading stocks — a key priority for voters on both sides of the aisle — ahead o…

His tariffs are nothing more than a ploy to manipulate stock prices. You killed any meaningful attempt at banning congressional insider trading, so that your husband could make an obscene fortune. I will never forgive that and we should never forget that. You own this.

Twitter post by Melanie D'Arrigo stating: 'They aren’t going to find $2T in waste. They aren’t going to lower grocery prices. They aren’t going to fix immigration. They are however going to give themselves trillions in tax breaks, and pay for them by cutting Social Security and Medicare.' Below the text, there is an image of an NBC News article headline: 'Elon Musk says DOGE probably won’t find $2 trillion in federal budget cuts' with a subheading: 'Musk previously said his Department of Government Efficiency would be able to recommend cuts to the federal budget of “at least $2 trillion.”

She’s right, you know.

I watched 3 docs on CA, scary stuff. Then I watched Bad Faith and God & Country, and realized the NatC leaders used the same CA techniques for this election. Only this time they had “God” on their side.

AOC is the most charismatic figure the Dems have had since JFK, and Pelosi and the Dems have done everything in their power to undermine and nullify her. I won’t support the Party that won’t support AOC.

Nancy Pelosi represents the death of the Democratic Party. She had the chance to support the most charismatic woman to enter politics in … well … ever. Instead she installed a 74 year old white male corporatist to Oversight. Her only concern is to not upset her corporate interests. We keep losing.

And the corporate succubus Democrats led by pathetically corrupt Nancy Pelosi, win the battle for internal control of the feckless Democratic Party, and so lose every other election in the foreseeable future. But at least their campaign contributions and insider trading practices are still safe.

Victims of ‘kids-for-cash’ judge outraged by Biden clemency: ‘What about all of us?’ Michael Conahan was convicted of accepting $2.8m for jailing more than 2,300 children, some as young as eight

This is despicable. An abomination. I wonder if Biden even knows what he’s signing anymore. If he ordered this, he’s completely pathetic.

Nancy Pelosi blocked every attempt to ban insider trading for members of congress, while she and her husband made a fortune from it. Nancy Pelosi is just as guilty for everything wrong with this country as any Republican.

Trump’s threat to impose tariffs could raise prices for consumers, colliding with promise for relief If Donald Trump makes good on his threat to slap 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, the price increases that could follow will collide with his campaign promise to give America...

Nothing he says has any credibility. All he does, and has ever done, is say what he thinks people want to hear in that moment. He doesn’t mean any of it. He’s never been held to account for any of his lies or broken promises. And people voted for him. The dumbing down of America is complete.

If that had been Conway’s only occasion of blatant BS in support of Donald Trump, she might be forgivable. But given it was one of thousands, she gets no pass or sympathy.

Straightforward and accessible are not the point of poetry. The American intellect (or lack of it) strikes again!

Nancy Pelosi? You mean the person who single-handedly blocked every attempt to ban insider trading in congress and became obscenely wealthy as a result? You call that courage, I call it corruption.

Constant. Restarted my router. All other channels/apps work fine. The problem is with Netflix.

Maybe if someone other than a Trump appointee were running it.

People are too focused on Gaetz’s pedophilia, which is a distraction from the real problem, his willingness to weaponize the DOJ.

The only way the orange changes his mind is if it profits him, or appeals to his sadistic side. Protests demonstrate the size and temperament of the movement. The last effective protest was the women’s march. That got people’s attention. BLM to a lesser extent.

Just curious, why not protest?
