Schiff implored members of the committee to “demand answers to those questions” and to refuse “personal slander as an answer to those questions.” Bondi in turn said Schiff should apologize for “slandering” Trump.

The case against Comey is beyond weak. The case against James is worse. It is based on a lie, and they know they're lying because exculpatory evidence that contradicts the indictment had already been presented to a grand jury in another jurisdiction. Everyone involved with this needs to be disbarred

This insanity must stop. Not knowing who is arresting you and why is a crime. We, the people, must push back and force these so-called ICE agents off of our streets. We Americans deserve better. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlueforOurFuture

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

Make no mistake, this has nothing to do with growing a conscious. Madge knows that she has a re-election coming up in just a little over a year and she has read the polls. Taking healthcare away from her constituents and doing a 180 on the Epstein files will guarantee her a loss in 2026.
Full stop.

Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet responded to the harassment their organization contributed to that forced Rutgers professor Mark Bray to flee the country. The full statement is long, but here’s how he ended it:

Good riddance to him and good luck, Spain.
America and Rutgers are better off without him. But it begs the question: Why is Rutgers employing an advocate for political violence? He should be immediately fired and the university should disavow his vile, un-American ideas.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Writing something about ICE and sweet Jesus it is so incredibly dark what they are doing to these cities. We have all seen the videos, but when you wade into the details of their actions, it is extraordinarily bleak.
