Amazon controls over a third of the global cloud computing market.

Its customers include Capital One, United Airlines, and the US Army.

Today's outage should be a wakeup call: Dependence on a handful of powerful corporations is a threat to economic and national security.

Look, folks, he's the *Speaker* of the House, not the Listener of the House or the Watcher of the House.

You can't expect him to be aware of major events that are unfolding right before him.

Washington Republicans want to spend $0 on making health care affordable, but they support:

– $200M for Trump's ballroom

– $172M for Kristi Noem's private jet

– $51M in taxpayer-funded political ads

– $10M to promote Trump's Scotland golf course

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅

Q: "The threat against Hakeem Jeffries...Did President Trump make a mistake by just offering up a blanket pardon for every person that was convicted [for Jan. 6]?"

Johnson: "The assassination culture that's been advanced now, this is the Left...not the Right."

When Trump pardoned Jan. 6 rioters, he let a whole lot of criminals back out onto American streets.

Quite a few of them got arrested again — including one who threatened to assassinate Hakeem Jeffries. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
