There was an entire investigation done, led by Republicans. But maga wouldn't be maga if they had 2 functional brain cells to rub together.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

No hearings will happen until Republicans are voted out of the House and Senate into a miniscule minority.

Fascinated how the guy who made superstars of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Knowles thought that unfettered racism and every phobia in existence wouldn't eventually include anti-semitism

Republicans always yell about how government doesn't work, then they get power and prove themselves right.

The JD Vance interviews show how broken the Sunday morning political show format has become. Such interviews are a purely performative exercise.

We scoff at the nonsense coming from Dear Leader and his merry band of idiotic sycophants but their audience isn’t us.

It’s the Republican cult, people who are so dumb that they actually believe this nonsense.

That’s what we’re up against.

A national political divorce solves so many problems.

Didn’t the DOJ just indict a former FBI Director for lying to a committee. Perhaps the need to investigate and indict their own DOJ director who lied in this weeks committee hearing and Cosplay Kristy for her lies here. Equal justice for all.

The continuous lying and making up stuff about terrorism happening in Oregon is horrendous. There has been nothing outside of maybe a city block past the ice facility that has protesting going on. She needs to be checked and held accountable for these lies stoking fear and hate on TV.

I really hope not. It’s so weird that anyone thinks Portland is experiencing any kind of disruption. Wet leaf season is almost here, so maybe we can put the feds to work clearing storm drains and slippery bike lanes.

Is funding available to launch a campaign to ensure the entire country knows these are intentional lies to delude people? Could be their city next as fed attempts to take control of states, incite civil war responses to ICE breaking state laws & continue to lie about why they're deploying NG troops.
