They denied of millions of Americans who elected Obama THE RIGHT to have the nominee to the SC have a hearing - never mind take his seat. Now, the evolved magas are denying 800K citizens of Arizona their representation in Congress.

THEIR PLAN IS NOT TO WIN ELECTIONS; IT'S TO EXERCISE POWER.

As of Monday, the deputy director and general counsel of the CIA are the same person. Brian O’Neill explains how this removes an important barrier: "No."

The Spy service without a brake

The CIA’s deputy director now signs his own permission slips, and history shows where that leads.

Sure.
Talk to the millions of Americans of Latin American descent who are watching people who look just like them being hustled into dark cars with black tinted windows by men in masks. & many of them, like me, who are citizens of a nation that we CHOSE walk out the door of their homes in fear.

Ted Lieu @tedlieu.bsky.social · 2d

Today is Day 9 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.

2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.

3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Rep. Ted Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social · 3d

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.
