After a moving, record-breaking speech by Hakeem Jeffries, it is beyond disturbing to watch the despicable Speaker Johnson tell lies to applauding Republican sycophants, all of whom seem eager to build a fascist regime based on white Christian nationalism and backed by billionaires.

Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race.
Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.
