He has no standing to be Senator
& yet w his background, & his zero experience he wholly believes he DESERVES it, as do his very recent followers because he repeats the Prog Bro buzzwords

In what way does "allowing folks to redeem themselves" mean that the path of redemption *begins* by leapfrogging into a US Senate seat?
Why should those who have NOT done "abhorrent things," step aside from leadership, in order to make way for HIM to be one of the most powerful ppl in the world?

CNN is consciously helping Stephen Miller lie to its audience. This is a fundamental betrayal of the primary duty of a news outlet: to provide verified information to the public about matters vital to their well-being. The media's duty is not to give liars a bigger megaphone.
MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries
TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want?

I’m usually at a moderate level of annoyance with the NYT but this is fucking outrageous. The US president doesn’t get to fucking pick another country’s leader, & headlines shouldn’t present it as just a normal decision, like picking a nominee for a mid-level federal agency. It’s not our colony!

Republicans had the Senate majority in Obama’s last 2 years in office which is the only reason they were able to obstruct Obama from nominating judicial nominees. They couldn’t have done that if they didn’t have the majority at the time.

There's something to it where voting is mistaken as an act of expression, and because it's done in partial secret, it's treated as some kind of personal, private expression, like religious belief.
But it's not expression. It's governance.
But it's not expression. It's governance.
I'm going to say it plainly: Vote scolding is good, vote shaming is good. You should be reminded that the choices you make have consequences especially if those consequences are dire. If you don't like people pointing out what your decisions lead to, try making good decisions.
Pretty fucking wild to see people in January 2026 whining about “vote scolding” to defend people who couldn’t get off their ass to vote against Trump. Whatever they thought of Harris, they can never honestly answer whether the world would be better if she’d won (lol of fucking course it would).

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

To distract from Epstein, the explosion of health and homeowners insurance costs, and the tariffs that are decimating small businesses, Trump is plunging this country into a war and using our soldiers as pawns.

Look I want Trump Impeached. I even want him impeached FOR last night among many other things.
But Impeachment is a PROCESS. It requires HEARINGS.
We don't go from 0 to Impeachment.
We PROVE our case to the American people.
Something Mike Johnson won't do, but Hakeem will do if made Speaker.

This is an illegal intervention in a country that poses no threat to the United States. Trump is trying to distract from the fact that he tanked our economy and kicked millions off their health care. Congressional Republicans need to rein Trump in before he gets American troops killed.

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day.
Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”
