Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Aren't you tired of how central money is to our democracy?
To give a sense of out-of-kilter we are, a single state court race saw significantly more spending than the entire United Kingdom national election.
Thanks John Roberts!

Anyone you know who is not a citizen. Even those that have green cards and protected status as residents, are at risk if they leave the US and attempt reentry. That's just how it is under the our new dictator. Prepare accordingly.

After Melania personally pitched her personal documentary to Bezos last December, Amazon paid $40MM —almost 3X what Disney offered.
And now she’s hawking “sponsorships” to the film, for $10MM each.
Makes the old Trump hotel in DC look like chump change.
