More of Jim Himes, Stamford CT. I hope this is the second part of his speech. We had thousands of people here. #stamfordct #nokings

Jim Himes is the real deal. He showed up for us in Stamford CT along with Gov Ned Lamont, our mayor Simmons and numerous others. #nokings

👀 someone calling out big law firm complicity and cowardice

Sign reading BIG LAW LITTLE BALLS, and then listing a bunch of lil ball'd firms:

A&O Shearman
Cadwalder, Wickersham
Kirkland & Ellis
Latham & Watkins
Milbank
Paul, Weiss
Simpson Thatcher
Skadden, Arpa
Willkie Farr

Then the sign ends with a Trump quote that should make these firms put their heads in the proverbial bag:

"They gave me a lot of money considering they did nothing wrong"

I don't believe a thing these people say. especially because they are grifters. Marge too! If Santos was in solitary maybe it would change him a little because it is like torture. But I doubt it. He is the same scam man. He will spin that as far as it takes him.

Stamford CT. Ned Lamont, Jim Himes, Mayor Caroline Simmons and more.... We are here!

I'm seeing a lot of that too. Even the Trump houses that were all done up top to bottom have removed their paraphernalia. Good for them!

This is how easy it is to flip MTG. She really only wanted her bestie back. Too bad he cant ever run for office again or even vote. That's the difference between a pardon and commutation. He may be on parole or have to check in. So I dont expect to see Santos around unless MTG give him a job.

I would hate to think this is a trade for her backing off the Trumpstein files.

Panel 1: A group of people just having a lovely time. Everyone is laughing

Panel 2: An absolute Federal Agent appears in the middle of the group laughing like an obnoxious robot

Panel 3: The group quickly disperses, leaving the gross creepy agent by himself

Panel 4: The agent touches his ear and says “arrest their moms”

💔 A series of satellite images shows how the Mariupol cemetery has expanded year after year.

The scale of the burials is horrifying. According to various estimates, Russia has killed more than 100,000 residents of Mariupol.

The fact that a 35 year old is considered a "young republican" is one of the primary issues......
