The U. S. military has historically refused to get involved in domestic politics, for good reason. I think that will be changing. I think they will have to. The reason for the change is that we’ve never been here before. For them to do otherwise would violate their oaths which they’re loath to do.

I would've liked more of a punishment, but I'm quite pleased with the outcome of my complaint to the parliamentary commissioner for standards about Nigel Farage's declarations of interest.

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed?

CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer

AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

Fanone is coughing "bullshit" at republican Mike Nehls as he blames everyone but Trump for the attack on the Capitol, and calls the police that day "unprepared." He then tells Fanone he needs "medication." A reminder that Nehls cowered from Trump's rioters as the police kept him safe.

"Arabs in the region began adopting 'Palestinian' as a distinct national identity more prominently after the 1967 Six-Day War, though the term "Palestinian" was used geographically by some Arabs earlier, particularly under the British Mandate (1920-1948).

No MP should be earning £380,000 on top of their parliamentary salary.

Farage manages it because he's turned "politainment" into a viable career. Like his US counterparts he's discovered that being a disruptor can make you very wealthy indeed.

Jack Smith reminds us that the cases against Trump were dismissed “without prejudice.” Meaning they could be brought again.

If the UK media now do not apply equal harsh measures to Nigel Farage than they did to Angela Raynor, then they are complicit in
a) a Mysoginist narrative where men are forgiven and women 'should have known better' and
b) are actively saying they are okay with Farage in charge.

What we already knew, and what Jack Smith confirms, is that Trump is guilty of sedition, treason, incitement of violence, incitement of insurrection, an attempted coup, obstruction of justice, fraud, and election tampering.

Trump remains ineligible to hold office and should be imprisoned.

In speaking about Greenland the orange felon refers to it as Iceland and then said they loved him so much that they called him “daddy.”

This disgusting deranged criminal should’ve been sent to jail, not the White House. What’s the point of the 25th amendment if it’s never used?

Remember when I told you our military will NOT defend the Constitution, and that it will gladly carry out unlawful orders, including shooting American civilians?

I can't even keep up with the lies in Jim Jordan's opening statement, but I find it interesting that he's complaining about toll record warrants obtained by a judge, while this administration has determined judicial warrants aren't needed to enter our homes.

This comes just after the president publicly demanded that ICE should start showing the public how terrible the people are who they're grabbing and arresting.

In this case, his name is Liam. He's five years old.
